strange, not here in australia, i've been getting constants of 1.2 to 1.8 MB/s for a while now, and i'm on a satellite connection so that slows the throuuput down anyway. Or is it your local ibiblio mirror that has problems?

Re: Urgent kernel panic 2.2.9.1

Right now I am compiling the 5.4.18 kernel. If it works ok, will probably bring out EasyOS 2.2.10 soon. And I will make sure that "run in ram & disable drives" works. Barry the kernel group is up to Kernel 5.4.19 which contains a couple of serious fixes, like a Fix for the global-out-...

just a fyi for those that may be interested

The Intel graphics driver in X.Org intends to support all intel chipsets from the i810 and upwards. Please note that this driver does not support the GMA 500, found in various Atom-based designs.

There are definitely some issues with the new video methods on intel (GMA 3000 I think). I am getting a streak on the monitor and a lot of the time the puppy starts but then the monitor goes blank, makes an attempt to come on again, then goes off again at the final boot stage. I can hear the monito...

Kernel 5.5 is out

Just in case anyone's masochistic enough to build what is basically a 5.5.0,

However 5.4 has got as far as 5.4.15, which seems fine at present for me under basic testing to date, not sure if BarryK's still having problems though.
