Gerhard Pircher hat eine überarbeitete Linux-Kernel Version (V2.6.8 ) für den AmigaOne veröffentlicht. Gleichfalls verfügbar ist ein Patch für das Quellkode-Paket derselben Kernel-Version für die Distribution Debian Sarge.
Ein überarbeiteter Kernel der Version 2.6.16.x soll voraussichtlich binnen der nächsten zwei Wochen fertiggestellt werden und auch Treiber für EHCI sowie den PC-Speaker enthalten.
Changes:
Highmem support is working: You can remove the memory limit in U-boot now
EHCI support removed: The EHCI driver doesn't work on the AmigaOne due to the non coherent cache DMA workaround and I was to lazy to backport a workaround which was contributed by Marcus Comstedt. Many thanks to him for this patch
DRI graphics drivers removed: These drivers were removed, thus you can enable the glx extension of the X server again
ISA bridge tweaks: Recently I experienced problems with USB on my A1, too. Therefore I tried to weak the settings of the VIA southbridge (to match the settings done by OS4). This seems to help a little bit, but after some time the system locks up again. I'm still not sure what the real problem is, but I guess it's either the unfixed CPU bug or an interrupt problem.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to get a response from the (responsible) OS4 developer(s), so I can't really do anything about this. (I remember sg2 writing about a software problem with the i8259 PIC. I would be grateful, if he could enlighten me)
