Hi All,

First, the bad news. The patch for pata_of_platform.c doesn't work anymore. The kernel devolopers have rewritten this file completely. io_res.start isn't available in the whole source code. compatible = "electra-ide" isn't available either. It's not possible to patch with the following lines:

Quote:

@@ -42,6 +42,17 @@ static int pata_of_platform_probe(struct
ctl_res = io_res;
ctl_res.start = ctl_res.start+0x3f6;

+ } else if (of_device_is_compatible(dn, "electra-cf")) {

+ { .compatible = "electra-cf",},
+#endif
{},
};


Therefore the kernel 3.18 doesn't recognize the CF device. Here is the commit: git.kernel.org

Log msg:

Quote:

pata_of_platform: Remove "electra-ide" quirk


But ..................................................... the good news is: I have reverted the changes and now, the kernel can recognize the CF card again.

Download: vmlinux-3.18.0-rc1-KVM-PR-FTRACE-AmigaOneX1000.tar.bz2

Nemo patch: nemo_3.18-1.patch.zip
Kernel config: nemo_3.18.0-rc1_KVM-PR_FTRACE.config.zip



Please test the RC1.

By the way, I have released a SuperTuxKart 0.8.1 package with all addons.

Download: supertuxkart-0.8.1-3-altivec-linux-glibc2.13-ppc.tar.gz



Cheers,

Christian

@xeno74

I don't have tested your latest kernel, I'm a little bit lazy to install it and to make a new menu under CFE but thank you for the new STK

"with all addons"
Impressive all the addons loaded during the splash screen !

Thank you from my son, a lot of new car and tracks

Is there any "popular" computers with a similar hardware configuration? And if so how are the changes applied there?

@zzd10h

You could use a generic name for your kernel and then just copy the new kernel over as that name. Then you can leave the menu as is.

For a safer bet you could another menu for the latest kernel with a custom name and do the same. That way you can try out new kernels without erasing the other one and avoid editing the menu everyime.

@Hypex

Thanks for the advice, Hypex.

@Xeno74

Finally I did it and all is working fine.
I tested just my main Linux use, STK & sound are still OK !

I still asked you, but I didn't remember the reply, what is the problem with pad support under STK ?
My pad is recognized under STK but it doesn't work.
Thank you and sorry to ask again...

You're right. The controller/pad bug is the last bug and unfortunately unsolved. I'll try to fix this issue.

By the way, I also have released a STK package with all addons for the AmigaONE X5000.

Download: supertuxkart-0.8.1-2-linux-glibc2.11.1-ppc.tar.gz

And I have created the latest version of Secret Maryo Chronicles for our Live Remix Distribution and for (L)Ubuntu 12.04.X.

Download: smc_1.9+git20141022-1_powerpc.deb

Installation instructions: http://forum.hyperion-entertainment.biz

Unfortunately not. You need a Yaboot boot loader on the DVD and a standard Ubuntu PowerPC kernel.

@SinanG

I don't know if SMC works on the AMIGA one X5000. Could you test it, please? It would be nice, if you could send me a PM about the test result (NDA).

Everything is working, as usual.
I begin to have the habit to quick change the kernel, now

But by curiosity, what are the changes between all these RC ?

That would be cool! I have a dual 2.7GHz G5 PowerMac for running MacOSX 10.5.8 and MorphOS3.7, but would also like to get more educated on running Linux distros, so would like to make my G5 PowerMac tower a triple (or quadruple) booting system soon by adding one or more Linux distros to the hard drive(s).

@Xeno74,

Thanks for all of your great work on the X1000 Linux kernels. I have not installed Linux on my X1000, but plan to after I complete my move into a new house next month.

With my Dual G5 PowerMac, plus X1000 and 3.4GHz i5 Windows desktop PC running at the same time and all sitting on or under the same (BIG) desk, I probably won't need any heat in that room this Winter.

I need to set up a huge network hard drive to store all of my movie files and then test out how well they playback on each different computer system, AmigaOS4.1.6 & the X1000, MorphOS3.7 on the Dual G5 PowerMac, either of those two running one of the PPC Linux distros, or Windows 7, running on the 3.4GHz i5 system I built from parts last year. Each of them could be connected to a different input on my 42" 1080p LCD Visio TV display, if I am going to use any of them for watching movies from a network hard drive. Or if I get a DVI to component adapter, I could connect one of them to my huge old 60" rear projection 1080p TV for watching my movie collection(one of the first ever 1080p capable televisions made several years ago, and yes, all of my movies are purchased, not pirated, though I did purchase a DVD/Blu-Ray ripping software program to archive all of my optical disks, and I am not sure that the program is legal in all countries, but I figure the content was paid for by me, why can't I back it up). Speaking of different displays, my old 20" widescreen LCD monitors are looking a bit on the small side these days. Enough off topic rambling from me, forgive my wandering and the length of this post.

@amigadave

You're welcome!

@All

Hi All,

I have released the RC4 of kernel 3.18.

New:

- Support for mobile networks with USB UMTS 3G sticks

It also includes:

- KVM_BOOK3S_64_PR

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
- Linux kernel icon for OS4.1 by Tommysammy

Download: vmlinux-3.18.0-rc4-KVM-PR-OVERLAYFS-AmigaOneX1000.tar.bz2

Please test the RC4.

Thanks in advance,

Christian

It works well, "comme d'habitude"

Unfortunately, it doesn't solve my fs-uae / QemuPPC crashs at startup

@zzd10h

dont set vmware and std video mode , and dont goes up to 2047 mb of ram on qemu usually this make the issue with it. Try Qemu not kvm in case.

@amigadeve
you have a great machine , upgrade it if possible with and SSD intel 320 serie (is the only one compatible for sure) i have it on my quad and with 4 gb of ram if possible with a fastest video board. (i dont remember if it have pcie or pcix slots).
Install last webkit, last Teenfoufox , teenfourbird and Roccats and the macports pack and you will have an old machine who will not made you miss the performances of a new one.

PS: im pretty sure there Virtualpc will run great and you will able to have WinXp sp3 , Aros and Haiku and some linux distro run fast and smoth.
