Julian released a new ubuntu MATE 16.04 installation initial RAM disk for the stable longterm kernel 4.1.18 today.

New:

Quote:

This one should auto select and install the proper Ubuntu-Mate Desktop down to themes and Ubuntu-Welcome as well as installing the Xorg.conf and 4.1.18 modules. So no software selection screen is shown during the installation. The install script functions tested ok on my Sam460ex with the Sam460ex version . Regards Julian

Download: initrd-4.1.18_ubuntu-mate_16.04-ppc64-1.gz (I suggest to download it with a right click on the link and then with the menu point "Save target as" or something like this.)

@Spectre660: Thanks a lot for the new ubuntu MATE 16.04 installation initial RAM disk. Well done!

PLEASE test it.

Hello is it possible to compile a kernel with LABEL support for root? I tried in an earlier kernel and found it doesn't work. Which is annoying as I would like an always working root specifcation in my bootargs. ATM I'm backing up a friends HD and hooking it into the SATA messed up the drive assignments. I've suggested to others to use a label instead of a specific device but have found this is now in vain.

@Hypex

Booting with UUID and LABEL work without any problems. You need an initrd for that.

Further information:

http://forum.hyperion-entertainment.biz

The longterm kernel 4.1.21 has an initrd for booting with a UUID or with a LABEL.

Thanks this is good to know. I did some reading online and found others said a ramdisk is needed. Pity this can't be combined like UBoot image. Bit more fiddly to set up on X1000.

Hi All,

I have really great news for you. The stable longterm kernel 4.1 is back! The kernel developers solved the problem with the kernel freezing. They also fixed the build break due to missing PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NOSC.

The new longterm kernel 4.1.29 is very stable again.

I tested a lot of things with the kernel 4.1.29 and it works very well.

Test results:

1. Hardware 3D acceleration works with an AMD Radeon HD6870 (tested with DOOM 3 and SuperTuxKart 0.8.1-2)
2. Sound works (MP3 files, web radio etc)
3. LAN works (Realtek RTL-8139)
4. WLAN works (FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick N)
5. "PR" KVM works (QEMU guest: Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger)
6. Compiz works
7. YouTube HD videos work with ViewTube
8. Internal CF card works
9. pas_shutdown works

Further information:

1. Linux Git log
2. ChangeLog

Download: vmlinux-4.1.29-AmigaONE_X1000.tar.gz

Please test it.

Thanks,

Christian
