Comment 6 Morgan Leijström 2025-01-27 21:01:51 CET
mga9-i586 desktop kernel OK on my Thinkpad T43

It is updated fully to testing repos (not tainted) so that mesa, libdrm and related are also tested here.

Too slow for modern video, but I can listen to POD, and do office work and shuffle files to dual boot WINXP (not connected to internet) safely. And write this :)

suspend-resume
hibernate-resume
All OK incl wifi, using networkmanager.

Filesystem: ext4 / and /home plus swap in LVM, NTFS partitions for MSWXP

mga9-x86_64 desktop kernel OK on my Thinkpad T510

This, as well as G75 above also tested with mesa mesa and mesa tainted incl libdrm and libwayland (though I do not run wayland)

Filesystems all on one SSD: ext4 / and /home plus swap in LVM on LUKS encrypted pv, separate /boot and EFI partitions, NTFS partitions for MSW10

suspend-resume: OK

hibernate-restore: As always on this machine:
hibernate saves OK but fail to shut off; instead power lamp blinks - user need to hold it in to shut off.  Next boot it restores saved session OK.


Plasma X11, All OK incl wifi, using networkmanager.

Comment 13 Morgan Leijström 2025-01-28 01:04:59 CET
OK desktop flavour tested OK on machine in Comment 9, 
with updated mesa etc, and using dkms built kmod for VB, all OK incl suspend and hibernation.

- will test VB again on this with packaged kmod, when it appears.

Looks good and is the only test I'll do about that as I have to disable ipv6 support due that slow part of my mageia work, don't know if is due to a poor support from my ISP or what

mga9, x86_64
Clean installation and reboot of desktop version.
Bluetooth sound works immediately.  Local and networked videos play fine via vlc or Youtube.  glmark2 returns a respectable score.
Thunderbird, Firefox and Falkon work well.
stress tests for CPU, disk r/w, general i/o, and memory r/w work fine.
Stelarium works as expected.  Installed celestia and investigated some asteroids.

No installation issues. No issues after the reboot, including VirtualBox. Slow to get and install updates in my Windows 7 vbox guest, but then that's a Windows issue, not Mageia or the kernel.
