Hi All,
The Linux 3.19 kernel is now officially available. Thank you very much for testing the release candidates.
Download: vmlinux-3.19.0-KVM-PR-AMIGA_one_X1000.tar.bz2 (http://www.xenosoft.de/vmlinux-3.19.0-KVM-PR-AMIGA_one_X1000.tar.bz2)
New:
- Support for Xubuntu, Lubuntu, and ubuntu MATE 15.04
It also includes:
- KVM_BOOK3S_64_PR
Support running guest kernels in virtual machines on processors without using hypervisor mode in the host, by running the guest in user mode (problem state) and emulating all privileged instructions and registers.
This is not as fast as using hypervisor mode, but works on machines where hypervisor mode is not available or not usable, and can emulate processors that are different from the host processor, including emulating 32-bit processors on a 64-bit host.
- Mac-on-Linux support
- Network support for AROS hosted
- Support for 4 serial ports
- Bluetooth USB dongle support
- Kernel tracing with ftrace
- Linux kernel icon for OS4.1 by Tommysammy
