Hi All,

Linus Torvalds has released the Linux 4.10 kernel. :-)

We tested 10 alphas and 10 release candidates. Fortunately there weren't any big issues. Everything was fine. Darren optimized and moved a lot of source code from the Nemo patch to the official kernel source code. Thereby our Nemo patch has become smaller. Many thanks to Darren for his great work! :-)

New:
Download: vmlinux-4.10-AmigaONE_X1000.tar.gz

Many thanks to Musa, Srtest, JohnFante, Caseycullen, and AlfredOne for testing the alphas and release candidates. :-)

BTW, I successfully upgraded ubuntu MATE 17.04 PowerPC today. ;-)

Hi All,

I compiled the new stable kernel 4.10.4 with the new BFQ I/O scheduler two days ago.
BFQ loads programs extremely fast under heavy disk I/O activity. It achieves up to 30% higher throughput than CFQ on hard disks with most parallel workloads, and about the same throughput with the rest of the workloads we have considered. BFQ achieves the same throughput as CFQ, NOOP, DEADLINE and SIO on SSDs.

Hi
Tried to format my USB disk again in workbench and then copy the vmlinux-4.10.6 from an NTFS disk I have common with wb and Linux. Then 4.10.6 boot as it should.
Edit: I was mistaken. The first time I copied a new file into the the usbdisk several of the files were getting not usable files, "not an elf file." :(
