Where have you seen the IRQ errors?
Usually where I have seen the Systemd kernel modules errors. Even when those weren't noted the login screen didn't came up.
Have you tested another login manager (display manager) yet?

No because I can't pinpoint the login manager as a cause. I can reduce it to two occurrences:
1. Straight IRQ errors at the last stage of kernel loading before Systemd kicks in.
2. After Systemd kicks in and before the login manager finishes doing its thing it is stuck on something called "WPA" (is it the encryption?) on the pre-display blue screen.

I released the kernel 4.3 RC4 today.

New:

Linux 4.3-rc4 Kernel Released: Adds A New & Better String Copy Function - phoronix

4.3-rc4 release announcement

Note:

This kernel use the older interrupt management system from the kernel 4.1 because the new system doesn't work with the AMD/ATI SB600 south bridge.

PLEASE use the kernel 4.1 if you want a stable and reliable kernel for your AmigaONE X1000. The kernels 4.3 and 4.2 are only for experienced users who want to test some new features.

Download: vmlinux-4.3-rc4-AMIGA_one_X1000.tar.bz2

Unfortunately the kernel 4.3 doesn't compile currently. There was a lot of changes of the interrupt system.

I'll try to revert the problematic commits:

Code: Select all

git revert 9a78f9c3c68c4d57f602b4100e766945d3362f4d -m 1

Hi All,

I could compile the RC5 after the revert above.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE test it. I'd like to know if it boots for you.

Download: vmlinux-4.3-rc5-neuss.tar.gz

Thanks in advance for testing.

Cheers,

Christian
