Kernel 4.10

[xeno74]

Great The RC4 version works on my setup. Still no 3D acceleration on my R9 270X thou. And bluetooth does not work with my dongle but that is not important.

Just a quick question: Should I copy all the included modules somewhere?

Hi JohnFante,

Many thanks for testing! Yes, you could copy the kernel modules directory to /lib/modules if you like. With the copied kernel modules directory you get new hardware drivers.

Have a lot of fun with Linux on your X5000!

Cheers,
Christian

Hi All,

I released the kernel 4.10.17 for the AmigaOne X5000 today. I added the QorIQ DPAA Ethernet driver to the kernel 4.10.17 because the kernel 4.10 was the first mainline vanilla kernel with QorIQ DPAA Ethernet support. My I idea is to test the first version of the QorIQ DPAA Ethernet driver. If it works, then I will compile the kernel 4.11 with the QorIQ DPAA Ethernet for testing. I want to know, since when the driver has stopped to work.

Download: vmlinux-4.10.17-AmigaONE_X5000.tar.gz

Please test it with the Cyrus eth dtb.

Thanks,
Christian
