Installed kernel 3.11-rc2, and found a patch for the NVIDIA driver 325.08, which can be accessed via the dev Forum: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/557110/linux/linux-3-11_rcx-compatibility/ With VMware, it turned out that – even with the 3.10 patch – vmblock fails to compile, yet again: So.. the workaround is the same as for 3.10 before that vmblock patch was created.. Simply edit … Continue reading →

From Linus: ”Yes, I was really hoping (and originally planning) to release 3.9 final this weekend, but we had enough issues that I just didn’t feel comfy about it. It was borderline, … 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..

Just updated to 3.7.9, but forgot to do the usual ‘softlink’ for correct compilation of VMware.. # ln -s /usr/src/linux-3.7.9/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h /usr/src/linux-3.7.9/include/linux/version.h I ran the compilation for the the latest ‘stable’ NVIDIA driver (310.32), but discovered that – with 3.7.9 – this failed, as well! To save time, I had been creating the softlink after compiling the latest … Continue reading →
3.8-rc1 has several ‘issues’ – especially with breakage of Userspace… I’m going to wait for -rc2, which will – hopefully – be a bit less ‘dangerous’! Robert Gadsdon. January 2nd, 2013
