News, discussions and problems, about the new Kernels on Power

<< < (2/3) > >>

MauryG5:
I'm testing the mainline of 6.1 on Ubuntu a bit, it seems that everything is fine at the moment. As soon as the stable version 6.1.1 comes out I will compile and install it on Debian. At the moment no bugs to report, at least at startup which is usually always the most critical part of a new Kernel...

MauryG5:
Here is the new Kernel 6.1.2 being tested on Debian 11.6. It seems that everything is going well!

MauryG5:
As I already wrote on the Debian 12 post, Kernels from 6.2 onwards don't work at the moment.  I tried with 6.2.10 which I already had on 11.6 and that worked without problems, I tried with 6.2.13 and now with the new 6.3.1.  Unfortunately at the moment there are problems and these Kernels don't work... This is what comes out at the end of loading Debian 12...

DKnoto:
On Fedora all kernels of the 6.2.x series work, sometimes better, sometimes worse but they work. Recently, even the 6.2.14-200 kernel reached a historical peak in SSD read performance: 6.6 GB/s.

If I were you, I would consider changing the distribution.

MauryG5:
Friend Dknoto, until now I too have no Kernel problems and indeed, with Debian 11.6 I was running 6.2.10 as Kernel without any problems. The problem arrived with Debian 12 which I don't know why it currently has this problem but it is clear that it is specifically about Debian 12. Honestly, since I have been with Debian I have found myself perfectly fine and it will certainly not be a small problem like this one that will make me change distros and I can tell you that I abandoned Fedora instead because it became a general crap between regressions and loss of direct support to Chromium for example. There are also too many criticisms due to the fact that they update immediately to let us users test everything. In the end, Debian 12 is still in the pre-release phase and therefore I think that in the final version they will fix this small inconvenience. I just wanted to report so that people like my friend Daniel Pocock are aware of these little bugs to go and then fix them in the final version.
