Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on July 24, 2017 by RGJuly 24, 2017

Kernel 4.13-rc2 has been released, and brief details of changes from -rc1 are here:  http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1707.2/06568.html It used to be that if things were OK with the initial -rc version of the kernel, then all subsequent -rc versions were also OK, but in recent times, this has not always been the case.. I have quickly tested this with … Continue reading →

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on February 23, 2015 by RGFebruary 23, 2015

Just tested Kernel 4.0-rc1 – announced here:  http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1502.2/04059.html As you will see – not much actual detail on what has changed, and I have already run into a couple of ‘issues’… The Radeon drm driver on my laptop refuses to load, and the boot hangs immediately with drm r600_ring_test [radeon] *ERROR* radeon: ring 0 test failed (scratch(0x8504)=0xFFFFFFFF) … Continue reading →

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on February 18, 2015 by RGFebruary 18, 2015

Just updated the test system to VMware Workstation 11.1, and – unfortunately – this is still incompatible with Kernel 3.19.. The only good news is..  The vmnet patch for 11.0 still applies, and fixes the problem..  http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=1281 The release notes (for what it’s worth!) are here:  https://www.vmware.com/support/ws/doc/workstation-111-release-notes.html As you can see – quite a lot of ‘known … Continue reading →

Kernel 3.18-rc6 – Still Needs Work..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on November 24, 2014 by RGNovember 24, 2014

Just installed Kernel 3.18-rc6, and the latest NVIDIA drivers – 340.58 and 346.16 – compile and load OK… Although VMware have just released version 10.0.4, this still needs the ‘vmnet patch’ to compile OK, with kernels 3.17 and 3.18.. # uname -a Linux rg6830l 3.18.0-rc6 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Nov 23 23:41:40 PST 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 … Continue reading →
