Raspberry Pi Kernels (2.0)

6.3-rc network fail again.

The kernel version was not updated to 6.2.7 but there are some new commits the branch.

now it’s done with the 6.2.7 !

I have some errors when installing v6.2.8:

Nice to see you back @Darksky !
Ok but what do we do for this error ?

I guess nothing for now. It does not seem to bother anything. It is a Warning though not an error.

mkinitcpio update, fixed.

A new week and a new batch of available kernels:
6.1.25,6.2.12 and 6.3.0 !!

UPDATED 05-30-23:

The latest RPi kernel packages has been pushed to the unstable branch when the mirrors sync. The linux-rpi kernel packages may be the last of these to show up in the mirrors. I had to wait a few hours for RPi to upgrade their 6.1.y kernel tree.

linux-rpi4 6.1.31-1
linux-rpi4-headers 6.1.31-1
linux-rpi4-mainline 6.3.4-1

I have a question. I saw today a pull request requesting enabling PSI to make waydroid work on the RPi. I have had this enabled for over a year when we were testing OOMD. At that time OOMD would fail but it seems to be working now. Also around about that time waydroid would not work on the RPi.

Since I have been out of the picture with my heart attack for several months has anyone been using waydroid on their KDE wayland install’s?

Theses need to be added to cmdline.txt for PSI to work:

cgroup_enable=memory psi=1

Update 6-12-23:

I pushed the latest linux-rpi4-rc kernel packages this mourning to the unstable branch when the mirrors sync.

linux-rpi4-rc 6.4.rc6-1
linux-rpi4-rc-headers 6.4.rc6-1

Update 6-16-23:

I pushed the latest linux-rpi4 / linux-rpi4-mainline kernel packages this mourning to the unstable branch when the mirrors sync.

linux-rpi4 6.1.34-1
linux-rpi4-headers 6.1.34-1
linux-rpi4-mainline 6.3.8-1
linux-rpi4-mainline-headers 6.3.8-1

I have spent this week going through the 3 kernel config’s removing @115 lines of bloat. I have been meaning to do this last year before my heart attack but never got around to it. The kernels are now leaner and seems to boot faster now.

[ray@jellyfin ~]$ systemd-analyze 
Startup finished in 2.827s (kernel) + 12.578s (userspace) = 15.405s 
graphical.target reached after 12.578s in userspace.

I’m using 6.3.8 and I don’t have the same timings:

Startup finished in 4.763s (kernel) + 12.825s (userspace) = 17.588s

It’s almost the double your kernel outcome…

Guessing you are booting on a ssd also. The only thing I can think of is I have the bootsplash stuff disabled here.
