Bug 32792

This is confusing. Why just kernel-linus?
Is the same release already in Backports? If so, should it not be moved to core/updates_testing then core/updates? Has it already been QA'd?

CC: (none) => lewyssmith

TMB always kept kernel-linus in a separate bug to differentiate it from the other kernels. The other kernels include our patches, while kernel-linus is closer to the "vanilla" Linux kernel. 

I can't confirm my speculation, but I think he did this to avoid contamination of kernel-linus by mistake during development.

Yes, and sometimes -desktop and -server kernels get more iterations, example
6.5.13 landed on -2 for linus, -6 for the others.

Like for the other kernels, his bug should depend on updates of 
dkms-anbox, mate-applets and gnome-applets

No need, because this bug depends on the 6.6.16 desktop/server bug.

Tested in Real Hardware Mageia 9 i586 lxqt

wifi works
webcam works
sound works
mount isos with cdemu-client that require dkms-vhba works

Like other 6.6.14 kernels release 1 this kernel make my card use radeon driver instead amdgpu in my x86_64 system

The rest is working as expected (Sorry in previous message I boot on wrong kernel)

Comment 7 implies also linus should be updated like desktop -2 version.

Indeed it doesn't require the patch. kernel-desktop-6.6.14-2 had a previous patch reworked to get some old card treated with amdgpu. kernel-linus is usually kept without patches, close to stock upstream kernel, unless some rare case of security fixes or obvious crashes requiring a patch.

OK thanks for the info.

I believe this update is good to go when the other kernels are good to go.
(waiting for dkms-anbox and maybe other)

I think this will need a Errata with the Morgan's tip of delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Works for me If boot in kernel server I get amdgpu

And I don't regenerate /etc/X11/xorg.conf because drakx11 select amdgpu

MGA9-64 Plasma, Dell e520, Core2Quad, AMD HD 8570 (Oland - Southern Islands) graphics.

I ran into the same problem as katnatek, except that my machine wouldn't boot even with the radeon driver. I'm not surprised by this, as it would not boot any of the Mageia 8 kernels with anything but the amdgpu driver. In Mageia 8, sddm would fail. I suspect it could be the same here. 

TMB and I fought that battle some time ago, because the Live Mageia 8 Plasma test isos would not boot on this hardware. I don't remember ever trying kernel-linus on this hardware before, so I have no idea how long it's been since it may have worked with it. I have another set of hardware that won't work with kernel -linus because it needs one of our patches to make it work with the radeon driver and modern kernels - Foolishness, my Dell Inspiron 5100.

If our mainstream kernels won't work with the older hardware, we should try to patch them so they do, but I agree with comment 10 that we don't need to patch kernel-linus for this old hardware.

Validating.

does kernel-linus won't boot even in console mode or just when switching to graphical mode? Does it work either with:

a) "modesetting" instead of "radeon" or "amdgpu" as device in xorg.conf

b) no /etc/X11/xorg.conf at all.

?

Stock kernel-6.6.14-2.mga9 should work for you as in the past, as it has the patch reworked.

The stock kernel does work with the amdgpu driver.

I am able to boot into run level 3 and log on with kernel-linus regardless of the assigned driver. I can't run startx with the amdgpu driver. It refuses, giving me a message that it is trying a modesetting driver, and that also fails. Switching to root, I used XFdrake to switch to the radeon driver, and rebooted again into run level 3. This time startx appears to work, showing the graphical representation of sddm starting, playing the music, but then ends up with a black screen containing only a movable mouse cursor. Using XFdrake to switch to the Xorg modesetting driver acts the same as the radeon driver.

I'm removing kernel-linus from this machine and getting on with my life.

How come this god pushed before that one?
