Hi,

Linus has already pulled the latest set of patches from some branches for the kernel 4.6, so I released the alpha1 for testing today.

Download: vmlinux-4.6-alpha1-AmigaONE_X1000.tar.gz

Regards,
Christian

Linus Torvalds added some new source code for the kernel 4.6 to the Linux Git last night.

New: Linux Git log

I created the alpha2 from the latest Git source code today.

Download: vmlinux-4.6-alpha2-AmigaONE_X1000.tar.gz

Would you mind testing it? For me it would be interesting, if the P.A. Semi Ethernet works.

FYI: The old Nemo patch 4.5-9 doesn't work anymore. You need the new Nemo patch 4.6-1 instead.

Download: nemo_4.6-1.patch

@zzd10h

Many thanks for testing!

@All

I released the alpha3 without the kvm-pr kernel module today.

New:

- Phoronix articles, reviews and news stories covering Linux 4.6
- Linux Git log
- New Nemo patch 4.6-1

Download: vmlinux-4.6-alpha3-AmigaONE_X1000.tar.gz

I wasn't able to compile the kvm-pr kernel module because there is something wrong in the source code. I think the problem is in the latest KVM updates.

Link: Merge tag for-linus of git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm.

The kvm-pr kernel module from the alpha2 works without any problems. I tested it with Mac-on-Linux and Mac OS X Tiger yesterday.

I informed the developers about this problem via two mailing lists, today.

Links:

List kvm-ppc
List kvm-general
