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:

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

Log msg:

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.

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
