  • Current Linux kernels working on rx2800 again

    From John Paul Adrian Glaubitz@21:1/5 to All on Tue Mar 23 15:50:01 2021
    Hi!

    I have tried a current kernel built from Linus' tree today on one of the
    BL860c blades we use as buildds in Debian and it turns out with just three fixes applied [1-3], the kernel works just fine:

    The previously reported regression [4] has magically fixed itself.

    Once the patches [1-3] have been merged - in one form or another - we just need to
    fix the issue Ben Hutchings reported for zstd compression [5] and we can build and
    use regular Debian distribution kernels on all ia64 machines again.
