Waiting on a 4.18 kernel build: should be done in the next 24 hours or so.The klibc package included in the current images is affected by a serious bug which breaks the boot on nearly all architecture [1]. I will therefore have to build new images once the new klibc package has been synced on the FTP mirrors.
I did not yet check the ISO for Alpha, but what kernel version and type (non-MP/MP) does it include actually? Because we had that problem with non-MP kernels not working on many - if not all - Alpha machines earlier. And although it was actually fixed by Michael, the fix is only included since Linux v5.0-rc1 according to the tagging as I understand it, see [1] for details. [1]: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/6ab7d47bcbf0144a8cb81536c2cead4cde18acfe So maybe it'd be better to delay the rebuild until after Linux 5.0 reaches unstable? Cheers, Frank
