testkernel 3.6-rc7 available [closed]

[towo]

For the users, with no fear for experiments i have uploaded kernel 3.6-rc5 to our experimental repo.
There are no metapackages, installing per packagename only, like

Code Select Expand


apt-get install linux-image-3.6-rc5.towo.1-siduction-amd64 linux-headers-3.6-rc5.towo.1-siduction-amd64

given, you have our experimntal-repo in your sources.

This one has a Win XP VM, and VMware Player 5.0.  It was a happy surprise to see the VMware kernel modules build with no problems.

It seems fine -- up for over 5 hours now, playing music and videos, etc.  The Dell E6500 is also still up -- about 24 hours now.

im Gegensatz zum neusten siduction 3.5 Kernel sind wohl keine lirc-serial module dabei?
werden zumindest nicht geladen, und meine Fernbedienung will nicht.

[towo]

Try 3.6-rc6

[tuxman]

(sorry for bad english)

thanks towo,
it seems that everything here is fine with rc6:
my dvb_s-tv-card (saa7146 -> stv0299, budget_ci, budget_core) is now working in kaffeine (was not recognized with rc5)

My remotecontrol needs up to now lirc-serial. I can't find this.

with "locate lirc|grep ko|grep 3.6-rc6"
I get :

should this replace lirc_serial ? If yes, did you have a link where is explained to change hardware.conf and lirc.conf?

[towo]

Please test the new packages, i had forget to activate lirc in the last build.

[dieres]

Thank you towo, everything is ok now. Remotcontrol is working. I dont have any issues with this kernel now.

@towo, here is a minor issue with the 3.6 kernels -- no support for my old Logitech webcam.

With the last 3.5 kernel:
