Do I need to disconnect the compact flesh? because I can't get past the "booting linux via..." phase with the two latest kernels.

No, you don't need to disconnect the CF card. Mechanic and I can boot the alpha3 with a connected CF card. Maybe an issue with your CF card. Can you boot the kernel 4.1.29?

Hi All,

I asked Philippe about the Problem with the PA Semi PWRficient Gigabit Ethernet. The PA Semi PWRficient Gigabit Ethernet tries very often to connect to the network but there isn't a network cable plugged in.
Philippe wrote: Hi Chrisitian,

I'm sorry, I don't have this hardware so I can't do any test.

Have you tried to remove both commit and check if the issue is reproduced please ?

Regards,
Philippe

Well, I can't boot alpha 3 + 4 while 1 works. The only difference I can think of is that I am using a southern islands card (just like the last time).

OK, good to know. Maybe we have another problem.

@All

Unfortunately, the two reverts don't solve the problem with the PA Semi PWRficient Gigabit Ethernet.

Re: Kernel 4.8

Hi All,

I was able to patch the RC1 with the Nemo and PHB-numbering patch. Additionally I added some printks in the file pata_of_platform.c. I wanted to know which values have the following variables:

ctl_res = io_res;
io_res.start += 0x800;
ctl_res.start = ctl_res.start + 0x80e;
io_res.end = ctl_res.start-1;

It compiled without any problems but unfortunately I didn't see any printk outputs of these variables. The output of pata_of_platform is missing too. I see this output in the dmesg of the kernel 4.7 but I don't see it in the dmesg of the kernel 4.8.

I have the feeling, that pata_of_platform doesn't work anymore. Maybe this is the reason, why the CF card doesn't work anymore.

Maybe this is the problem: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kerne ... b6c60b2de9

Do you have any hints for me?

Cheers,

Christian

Hi All,

I reverted the setup.c. It boots but it doesn't find any partitions.

Hi All,

I compiled the RC1 of kernel 4.8 with Olof's CompactFlash driver for PA Semi Electra boards today. Unfortunately this driver doesn't detect our CF device.

Re: Kernel 4.8

Post by xeno74 »

Hi All,

I have really good news for you. Darren solved all problems! He released a new Nemo patch. I compiled the RC1 with his patch. Additionally I had to patch the source code with the powerpc-pci-Only-do-fixed-PHB-numbering-on-powernv patch because of the Radeon problem.

I tested the RC1 a lot. Everything works.

Test results:
  • Hardware 3D acceleration works with an AMD Radeon HD6870 (tested with DOOM 3 and SuperTuxKart 0.8.1-2)
  • Sound works (MP3 files, web radio etc)
  • LAN works (Realtek RTL-8139 and PA Semi PWRficient Gigabit Ethernet)
  • WLAN works (FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick N)
  • "PR" KVM works (QEMU guest: Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger)
  • Compiz works
  • YouTube HD videos work with ViewTube
  • Internal CF card works
  • pas_shutdown works
  • Restart works
  • I2C/SMBus error messages are gone
  • It works with the new systemd on ubuntu MATE 16.10
Everything is fine. :-) I am happy. :-)

Download: vmlinux-4.8-rc1-AmigaONE_X1000.tar.gz

PLEASE PLEASE test the RC1. We want to know if it works for you.

Thanks,

Christian
