I also have compiled the RC 1 for some P.A. Semi Electra/Chitra boards.

New:

- KVM support
- New Radeon firmwares

Download: vmlinux-3.17.0-rc1-KVM-PR-PA_Semi_Electra.tar.bz2



The A-EON Core Linux Support Team use these boards for developing and researching.

Hi All,

I have compiled the RC3 of Kernel 3.17.

Download: vmlinux-3.17.0-rc3-KVM-PR-FTRACE-AmigaOneX1000.tar.bz2

Could you test it, please? That would be nice because our beta tester Tommy told me, that his USB devices don't work with the RC2. Please test the RC3 with focus on USB devices.

Thanks in advance and a nice week for you.

Cheers,

Christian

Tommy had removed his USB3 card with a VIA chip. After that, all USB devices work without any problems. Stanglnator told me, that his USB3 card with a Renesas (NEC) chip works in his A1-X1000 with the RC3. Thanks to Tommy for testing.

By the way, "PR" KVM works very well with the RC3.

The RC4 is available for our Nemo, Chitra, and Electra boards.

Mac OS X boots on an AmigaONE X1000 (YouTube video):

@xeno74

very impressive. what's the performance like? what is the most recent build of OSX supported?

-- eliyahu

The performance is OK. Not too slow, but also not very fast. Only Mac OS X Tiger is supported at this time.

@All

I have created a MoL/KVM deb package for these following systems:

- A-EON Live Remix Distribution
- Lubuntu 12.04
- Lubuntu 14.10

Download: mol-kvm_0.9.73.0-ubuntu_powerpc.deb

If you want to allow normal accounts to run MoL through startmol script, you have to use dpkg-statoverride:

sudo dpkg-statoverride --update --add root root 4755 /usr/local/lib/mol/0.9.73/bin/mol

I have figured out, that Mac OS X only boots with the RC1 of kernel 3.17 or higher. Mac OS X doesn't boot with kernel 3.14 and 3.15. I could boot Mac OS X 10.3.4 Panther with the kernel 3.17 too.

Linux 3.17 Kernel Released With Many Great Features

Linus Torvalds has happily released the Linux 3.17 kernel. Linux 3.17 is out in all of its glory and due to Torvalds' travel schedule the Linux 3.18 merge window will be open for about three weeks. I have just built the kernel 3.17 for our AmigaONE X1000.

UMTSmon works very well with the new kernel 3.17.2.
