Just installed the ‘final / released’ version of the Raspberry Pi 3.8 kernel, from https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tree/rpi-3.8.y, and everything seems to be behaving.. This is already based on 3.8.6, so no need (yet) to apply any ‘incrementals’… Fedora release 18 (Spherical Cow) Kernel 3.8.6-pi on an armv6l (ttyAMA0) ……………….. # uname -a Linux rgpi 3.8.6-pi #1 PREEMPT Fri Apr … Continue reading →

Just noticed there is now an official 3.8.y kernel, at: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tree/rpi-3.8.y-temp This may change to just .…/rpi-3.8.y later.. Code is based on the latest 3.8 kernel – 3.8.4.

Updated the main system (x86_64) to kernel 3.8.4, and (incrementally..) updated the Raspberry Pi (armv6), as well.. Latest VMware (9.02) and NVIDIA (313.26 and 310.40) drivers all compile without any patches.. Precise details here: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/ChangeLog-3.8.4 # uname -a Linux rglinux 3.8.4 #1 SMP Thu Mar 21 02:03:44 GMT 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux ‘Incremental’ patch from 3.8.3 … Continue reading →

Just updated the Raspberry Pi from (hacked!)3.8.0 to 3.8.1, by applying the 3.8.0-1 patch at ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.0/patch-3.8.1.bz2 Note that this first incremental patch is in the ‘main’ kernel directory. Only the subsequent ones (3.8.1-2, etc..) will be in the /incr subdirectory.. The patch applied cleanly, and all seems to be working OK: Fedora release 18 (Spherical Cow) Kernel … Continue reading →
I have – after some messy hacking – managed to get the Raspberry Pi updated to kernel 3.8.0.. The starting point was the 3.7.1 Pi code, at https://github.com/Olipro/linux-RPi. The kernel.org patch for 3.8.0 assumes the code base is 3.7.0, so I had to ‘revert’ the 3.7.1 patch. The ‘incremental’ patches at kernel.org start with the 3.7.1 – … Continue reading →
