Interesting.
I have that same URL open in another tab and it doesn't show 5.11, yet your URL does.......

Try a shift-reload: hold down the shift key and click the reload icon. This bypasses any caching.

cwizardone · 02-14-2021, 08:21 PM

Hmmm.... while I was monitoring that page I would periodically clear the cache and then the amount of time since the last change to yesterday's kernel updates would change, but the 5.11 kernel never appeared.
I just tried it again and then closed the browser and re-opened it. It is set to clear everything on shutdown. Still 5.11 doesn't show on that page. That was with Palemoon. Just ried it with Firefox, same result, no 5.11. Ditto with Vivaldi.......
Something is amiss....

compiles fine, boots up. I am not going to say that 5.11 is stable (after few minutes).

VirtualBox fails to build modules (no surprise of course).

Staying with 5.10.x (VM host) or 5.4.x (VM client). No rush here.

5.11.0 built and runs without problem on Slackware64-current

Had some issues on 14.2. After some investigation I found the recipe for
'drivers/idxd/submit.o' fails on the config I was using which had it set as a module. Seems it was building as a module in the 5.10 series also, however my system does not seem to use it. I reset it to no (IE is not set) in .config and everything builds and works as expected.

I love it when things go astray, gives me something to work on.

do you have xeon?

Kernel 5.11 still has not added the second RFE entry for RTL88_8821CE.

drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl88/rtw8821c.c:

static const struct rtw_rfe_def rtw8821c_rfe_defs[] = {
[0] = RTW_DEF_RFE(8821c, 0, 0),
+ [2] = RTW_DEF_RFE(8821c, 0, 0),
};

(They added other code which changed the line numbers of my patch.) Author reported this RFE2 fix last August. Things move slowly in kernel land.

5.10.17 & 5.4.99 been released...

AlleyTrotter · 02-17-2021, 07:42 AM

built and running kernel 5.10.17 on Slackware64-14.2 without issues.
Probably my last 14.2 build for 5.10 series kernels moving on to 5.11

Longterm kernel 5.4.99 seems to compile and run fine on -current (15.0 alpha1):

Code:

Linux hp-laptop.example.org 5.4.99 #1 SMP Wed Feb 17 15:46:19 CET 2021 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T6400 @2.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
