Please test the kernels.
Thanks,

Hi
I have tested 5.18.a3 with remix 17 which booted
Debian 64 bit which also booted
Ubuntu 16.04 which did not boot
last I tried Void which booted and then froze (do not think it was because of the kernel)
A good day to all

Thanks a lot for testing the alpha3!
Your boot results are very strange. First, Debian PPC64 doesn’t boot and then it boots.musa wrote: Sat Mar 26, 2022 8:43 am Hi Christian.
I got Kernel panic on 5.18-alfa1 with Debian 64 bit. and Mint 32 bit
Have a nice day

yes Debian did not boot with alfa 1 but its boot with alfa 2 and 3
i have tried several times with the same result so it is not periodic. It is also strange that alpha 1 and 2 can't boot
remix but alpha 3 can boot remix
Sometimes I've noticed that things change if I switch to another usb disk, maybe I should try
Have a nice day

Peter,
What do you think about booting with a label?
Depending on the number of USB drives available on your X1000 the block device name may change. It is better to use labels.
For example adding the label void to the partition /dev/sdc6::

Hi Christian.
My experience with zimage is that it is a very slow boot compared to kernel boot.
I only use usbdisk as boot when I test a new kernel and there I only need to write 2 short lines.
Why is there a ramdisk involved in booting a partition?
If it means anything for a better test I might be persuaded but it does not give me any benefits I thought

Yes, you’re right. vmlinux loads faster than zImage from USB sticks but zImage loads faster from the internal CF card.musa wrote: Tue Mar 29, 2022 2:46 pm Hi Christian.

You need the ramdisk for booting with a label.

ok i want to look at it.
where do i get the ram disks.
I suppose there is a difference from Void to Debian 64.
Thank you for your help
