Please test it with your installed ubuntu MATE 16.04 and if you have more time then also test it with your installed Ubuntu 12.04.5.

Thanks,

Okay, will do.

John,

Could you please test the P.A. Semi Ethernet with the cross compiled RC3? I don't know if the P.A. Semi Ethernet works with the RC3.

Thanks in advance,

Christian

Hi Christian,

That's an easy one. I have P.A, Semi Ethernet (only) configured for Ubuntu 12.04 and 16.04 (mate). All data reported was with P.A. Semi. connected and running (Linux Only). Realtek is AOS only. ;) :)
Sorry, forgot to include in my list of active devices for testing. Network device start up [ok] during boot. Normal Network shutdown.
<edit>
Side note: kernel 4.1.20 (stable) seems to be best for Ubuntu 12.04.05 LTS. Based, of course, on my X1000 set-up.

Cheers!!

Christian,

Trying to organize kernels on the CF Card. So if I put kernels like 4.1.20 and 4.1.21 in separate folders exactly how do I point to the dir and kernel to boot? i.e. vmlinux-4.1(21) in it's own folder named "Linux_4.1.21"
Boot -elf -noints -fatfs cf0: " ? " vmlinux-4.1

Sorry for such a simple question. I'm not the most experienced command line guy. :oops:

Thanks,

John

Hi John,

I am sorry, I haven't tried to boot kernels from a folder on the CF card but it is an interesting question. Please create the folder linux_4.1.21 on the CF card. After that, copy the kernel 4.1.21 (vmlinux-4.1) to this new folder. Then boot it with the following command:

Code: Select all

boot -elf -noints -fatfs cf0:linux_4.1.21/vmlinux-4.1
I am looking forward to your test results.

Cheers,

Christian

Hi Christian!

Okay! That was easy enough. I should have went with my gut -not much different than CLI Commands that could get me in trouble but I asked the question anyway. We have success!

I copied folder "vmlinux-4.1.20-AmigaONE_X1000" and renamed it "Kernel4.1.20" leaving out any dashes in folder name -my choice.
Boot statement: boot -elf -noints -fatfs cf0:Kernal4.1.20/vmlinux-4.1.
First boot attempt caused a panic "reboot in 180 secs". Turned off. Maybe had to reacquire itself.
Second boot attempt - BINGO! I tested with 3.13.15 and 3.17 as well. All is right with the world. This will help keep my CF Card tidy and be able to boot Kernels like 4.1.20 and 4.1.21 and save without same name conflict. Sweet!! My CF Card is 16 GB; unmonitored that could get messy with Kernels, .tar and .zip files over time. Good stuff!! :)

Cheers!!
