I released the alpha8 for testing today.
New:
- PowerPC updates (powerpc-4.9-2)
- New Nemo patch 4.9-2
- Phoronix articles, reviews and news stories covering Linux 4.9
- Linux Git log
Please test the alpha8.
Thanks,
Christian

That darren patch that fixed things for all of you NI guys didn't do so for me with a R9-270 GCN 1.0.

That report doesn't really tell us very much. Is there any chance you can hook you system up to serial terminal and catch the boot log for us? I'm writing this from my X1000, fitted with my HD7750 - and I booted Christians alpha 5 (this was all I had handy) - The boot procceded just as all others do. There is something funny going on with your system and we need more information to find out what.Srtest wrote:I don't know how to say it one more time: no kernel works for me since 4.7.

The only differences between a standard X1000 and mine are graphics and sound: Radeon R9-270 (some generic manufacturer which works very well on different computers) and an ESI Juli@ for sound which also works great (except a driver issue sometimes on AOS4.1FE). I boot from a CF card and tested both cf and usb - with ext2 and fat. 4.7.8 works, 4.8 + 4.9 doesn't. Everything else is what I got from Amigakit.daz wrote:That report doesn't really tell us very much. Is there any chance you can hook you system up to serial terminal and catch the boot log for us?

Perhaps you could post your specs here so we can try and re-create the problem.

I reverted the following patch:
- pasemi: Remove IOBMAP allocation from platform probe()
After that I compiled the kernel again. Unfortunately the kernel doesn't boot.
The last message from CFE:
Cheers,Code: Select all
Booting Linux via __start()...
