ARM – Kernel 4.0-rc1 – Not Much Joy….Yet..
Tried Kernel 4.0-rc1 on the CuBox-i4 Pro (from kernel.org) and the Odroid U3 (from https://github.com/tobiasjakobi/linux-odroid/tree/odroid-4.0.y), and the results are a bit of a mixed bag..
The CuBox boots OK, but – although eth0 appears to be present – networking doesn’t work..

The Odroid U3 fails to boot:
........ hub 1-3:1.0: USB hub found hub 1-3:1.0: 3 ports detected INFO: rcu_preempt detected stalls on CPUs/tasks: { 0} (detected by 1, t=12002 jiffies, g=-249, c=-250, q=33) Task dump for CPU 0: swapper/0 R running 0 1 0 0x00000002 Backtrace: [<ee081c8c>] (0xee081c8c) from [<ee081cbc>] (0xee081cbc) Backtrace aborted due to bad frame pointer <ee0142c0>
So.. More testing is needed! The CuBox might possibly be affected by compiling the kernel with the Fedora 22 5.0 version of gcc, but this is unverified at the moment.. I may (re)compile the (working) 3.19.0 kernel with gcc 5.0, to test this..
