Announcing the release of the kernel-ml-6.6.5-1.el7.elrepo package set into the EL7 kernel repository:
https://elrepo.org/tiki/kernel-ml The upstream changelog: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v6.x/ChangeLog-6.6.5 The following files are currently synchronising to our mirror sites: x86_64 kernel-ml-6.6.5-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm kernel-ml-devel-6.6.5-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm kernel-ml-doc-6.6.5-1.el7.elrepo.noarch.rpm kernel-ml-headers-6.6.5-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm kernel-ml-tools-6.6.5-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm kernel-ml-tools-libs-6.6.5-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm kernel-ml-tools-libs-devel-6.6.5-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm nosrc kernel-ml-6.6.5-1.el7.elrepo.nosrc.rpm Please note that as of kernel-ml version 6.6.5 we are unable to continue providing the perf and python-perf packages. Note: As a consequence of the upstream decision [1] to raise the minimum required version of gcc to 5.1, the distribution compiler can no longer be used in the kernel build process. We now use gcc-9, which is available from the devtoolset-9 package. We provide these kernels for hardware testing in an effort to identify new/updated drivers which can then be targeted for backporting as kmod packages. Meanwhile, these kernels may provide interim relief to people with non-functional hardware. We stress that we consider such kernels as a last resort for those who are unable to get their hardware working using the RHEL-7 kernel with supplementary kmod packages. These packages are provided "As-Is" with no implied warranty or support. Using the kernel-ml may expose your system to security, performance and/or data corruption issues. Since timely updates may not be available from the ELRepo Project, the end user has the ultimate responsibility for deciding whether to continue using the kernel-ml packages in regular service. The packages are intentionally named kernel-ml so as not to conflict with the RHEL-7 kernels and, as such, they may be installed and updated alongside the regular kernel. The kernel configuration is based upon a default RHEL-7 configuration with added functionality enabled as appropriate. If a bug is found when using these kernels, the end user is encouraged to report it upstream to the Linux Kernel Bug Tracker [2] and, for our reference, to the ELRepo bug tracker [3]. By taking such action, the reporter will be assisting the kernel developers, Red Hat and the Open Source Community as a whole. Thank you, The ELRepo Team.
