Hi All,

Darren solved the problems with the new interrupt system so I was able to release the RC1 of kernel 4.4.

Download: vmlinux-4.4-rc1-AMIGA_one_X1000.tar.bz2



New:

- Support for the new interrupt handling
- Boot by UUID or disk label with an initrd
- Linux 4.4-rc1 Kernel Released - phoronix.com
- ChangeLog

It also includes:

- KVM_BOOK3S_64_PR

Quote:

Support running guest kernels in virtual machines on processors without using hypervisor mode in the host, by running the guest in user mode (problem state) and emulating all privileged instructions and registers. This is not as fast as using hypervisor mode, but works on machines where hypervisor mode is not available or not usable, and can emulate processors that are different from the host processor, including emulating 32-bit processors on a 64-bit host.

- Mac-on-Linux support
- network support for AROS hosted
- support for 4 serial ports
- Bluetooth USB dongle support
- kernel tracing with ftrace
- ubuntu MATE 15.04, 15.10, and 16.04 LTS support
- Debian 8 support
- Btrfs support
- systemd support
- Wacom Intuos/Graphire tablet support (USB)
- Linux kernel icon for OS4.1 by Tommysammy

Cheers,

Christian

Thanks a lot!

@All

Here is the RC3 for testing: vmlinux-4.4-rc3-AMIGA_one_X1000.tar.bz2

New: Linux 4.4-rc3 Kernel Released -- phoronix.com

Note: Unfortunately the P.A. Semi ethernet doesn't work on our Nemo boards with the release
candidates of the kernel 4.4 currently. Further information: forum.hyperion-entertainment.biz

By the way, iceweasel 42.0-1 and icedove 42.0~b2-1 are available for Debian Sid.

Hi all,

I have done a git revert of the commit ' [RFC/PATCH,v2] powerpc/iommu: Support "hybrid" iommu/direct DMA ops for coherent_mask < dma_mask (https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/472535/)' without these following files:

Quote:

arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/pci-ioda.c arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/iommu.c

After that I compiled the kernel 4.4.0-rc5 and the P.A. Semi Ethernet interface works without reverting the two files above.

Download: vmlinux-4.4-rc5-AmigaONE_X1000.tar.gz

New:

- Linux 4.4-rc5 Kernel Released -- phoronix.com
- Support for the Power Statistics tool
- Problem with the P.A. Semi Ethernet fixed



OK, the problem must be in the following files:

Quote:

arch/powerpc/Kconfig arch/powerpc/include/asm/device.h arch/powerpc/include/asm/dma-mapping.h arch/powerpc/include/asm/iommu.h arch/powerpc/kernel/dma-iommu.c arch/powerpc/kernel/dma-swiotlb.c arch/powerpc/kernel/dma.c arch/powerpc/sysdev/dart_iommu.c include/asm-generic/dma-mapping-common.h

Cheers,

Christian

Out of curiosity, is this 32bit or 64bit kernel? What is recommended ditto to use on x1000?

@billt

Hello all. Does only Tiger work with MoL or can Leopard work as well?

What distros are available from where, and should I get powerpc or ppc64 distros?

I have been using Linux Mint for several years now. It works, stable, upgrades, and easy to install.

I've never run Linux on PPC, so I'm wondering... how is the experience different from running on x86-64? Is there anything that's better?

Unfortunately Leopard doesn't work on Mac-on-Linux/KVM. Panther and Tiger work without any problems.

@All

I compiled the RC8 with the new Nemo patch 4.4-8.

Download: vmlinux-4.4-rc8-AmigaONE_X1000.tar.gz

New:

- Linux 4.4-rc8 Kernel Released -- phoronix.com
- Linux 4.4-rc8 announcement
- Problem with the P.A. Semi Ethernet fixed (New Nemo patch 4.4-8)

There are some differences. Installing is different. GRUB doesn't boot it. HW binary drivers from manufacturer would be lacking for chipsets. Flash won't work. Linux Skype wont. Apart from those things it would look and work the same.
