Hi All,

The final kernel 6.12.0 is available for the X1000 and X5000.

Okay great thanks! Running now and working fine. This can be my new stable kernel.

Because of a quirk in my boot editor it stores kernels files in format of *-*.* with only a M.m version. I had planned to address it. But I have found it's good for testing. I used to install a kernel then change boot entry to kernel for testing. However, I found all I need to do is change to new kernel once, then for the rest of the betas just install the latest and it's ready to test for the whole series.

Hypex,

Thank you for testing. I think 6.12 will be the next long-term kernel.

Cheers,
Christian

HI
Tried both debian 32 and debian 64 but both failed. Tested afterwards with my normal kernel and it seems that both debian 32 and 64 are broken.
Then tested Fienix and vmlinux-6.12 booted completely without error.
I don't know what I'm doing with debian 32 and 64.
it looks a bit hopeless
Have a nice day
