That is very strange indeed, as all is normal today with rc3. Where are you seeing the list of fixes that have been made to rc3 Larry?

Thank You,

I see the commit messages using ‘git log’. I do not download the tarball update

  • I have the full git repo.

You can see the patch subject lines in the posting at
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1309.3/03680.html.

Thanks Larry. Silly me not to look at the end of the rc3 announcement by Linus.

Thank You,

#25

This morning we find that kernel 3.11-rc4 has been released and can be found here: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/testing/linux-3.12-rc4.tar.xz

And this is what Linus had to say about the rc4 release: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/10/6/148 (including the changes made)

I have not loaded it yet, but it will happen today after I finish installing a new hard drive for /home and for my VM’s.

Thank You,

#26

I finished installing this morning the only glitch I see and this has been happening since kernel 3.11.3 is that my netgear usb wireless no longer works

You need to install the kernel-firmware package. Perhaps the firmware file name
changed in 3.11.

#28

I downloaded the tarball untar ed the thing and did

make toolchain
make firmware

got errors then found Index of /ath9k-htc/version-1.3.2
downloaded the two *.fw files and copied them to /lib/firmware.
problem solved

“sudo zypper install kernel-firmware” would have been a lot easier.

#30

So, today, after a local hard drive replacement (1 TB to 2 TB) for two Partitions, now both double in size, I have installed kernel 3.12-rc4 and it is working like a champ, no problems at all.

Thank You,

#31

Found the next release of the kernek 3.12-rc5: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/testing/linux-3.12-rc5.tar.xz

I did not find any post yet from Linus on the new rc.

Thank You,

#32

Here ya go: RC5 Rel Announcement

#33

Thanks for the help noee. I did get around to compiling and installing kernel 3.12-rc5 this morning and its working just fine for me.

Thank You,

#34

I just posted in your “kernel” blog, so not to x-post here, but I’m having trouble with SAKC…PM me or take it to the blog?

#35

So do you use a non-stand disk setup? Let me say this looks like an openSUSE 13.1 bug and I would make a separate post on the problem in the 13.1 RC1 thread.

Thank You,

#36

Yes, I do, is that it? Either way, I ended up hosing the system (boots now but get no video, have to alt-ctrl-f1 to reboot), even in recovery mode. I have no idea how to fix this (tried zypper dup, etc.) so I’m going to just re-install from RC1 and use a standard disk setup.

#37

Well the bottom line is that it is best to keep openSUSE 13.1 as it is released as you are testing it, not the ability to change the kernel version. That does not mean I would not give it a try, but in your case, your best bet is to reload openSUSE 13.1 if that is what you want to use or switch back to openSUSE 12.3 where kernel updates work just fine.

In the mean time it looks like an openSUSE 13.1 bug which should be reported at: https://bugzilla.novell.com/index.cgi

Thank You,

#38

Do you mean the fact that I was using a non-stand disk setup causing kernel update to fail? I’m not sure how to verify that.

#39

Yes, but it sounds like a bug on the new version of openSUSE 13.1 that needs to be reported as a bug. Verification could be a standard disk setup, depending on the trouble you want to go through.

Thank You,

#40

@jdmc:
roger, wilco. Installs take only about 15 minutes on this machine, of course, the kernel build takes about an hour…
