Let me quote System Monitor. "Kernel Linux 6.7.0-rc8_A-EON_X5000 ppc64."

I had to wait from 2023 to 2024 to get it, but I assume it will prove worth the wait.

Great! Thanks a lot for testing the RC8!

I just found out that 6.8.0-a1 works and here is a2 already! OK, I have put the two files where they belong but won't Monitor them until I boot up tomorrow.
