I haven't updated the apt metadata in the gnewsense/lemote repo yet, but it already contains a build of 3.14.0-gnu. Alas, the cpufreq module is broken upstream, so a machine running this build will be slow and will freeze upon running cpufreq-info or unloading the module.
If you don't care about cpufreq, you may fix the system by removing /lib/modules/3.14.0-gnu/kernel/drivers/cpufreq/loongson2_cpufreq.ko If you do care about saving power by slowing down the CPU when it's not in use, you may want to download http://linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/lemote/gnewsense/pool/debuginfo/linux-cpufreq-fix-3.14.0-gnu_0loongsonlibre_mipsel.tar.xz and follow the instructions in the README.cpufreq-loongson2 in it. I don't think I'm going to roll out another 3.14.0-gnu build before this problem is sorted out upstream. If it is fixed shortly, with plenty of time before 3.14.1-gnu is scheduled upstream, I might roll out a 1loongsonlibre build with the fix. If so, I might even pull the patch into the loongson-community release of 3.14 for Loongson. Unfortunately, the unusually large number of releases this week, plus the amount of work it took to locate this problem (*) means the fix for GNU Linux-libre bug #1 didn't get much attention. I hope to fix that shortly. (*) bisecting that was manually intensive because many patches merged into 3.14 were originally based on pre-3.13 trees that didn't have the two patches that fixed an icache issue that made the kernel unbootable on Loongson2. I had to do a lot of “git bisect skip” before I realized that this, rather than newer temporary breakage in the tree, was what caused so many kernels I built to fail to boot. -- Alexandre Oliva, freedom fighter http://FSFLA.org/~lxoliva/ You must be the change you wish to see in the world. -- Gandhi Be Free! -- http://FSFLA.org/ FSF Latin America board member Free Software Evangelist|Red Hat Brasil GNU Toolchain Engineer -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "loongson-dev" group.
