Build and running fine here

5.13.0 running well here too. Took all default values for the new config options. Nvidia 465.31 builds without problems.

Most likely

[...] so the plan for maintenance is to keep following the latest kernels
as needed for security purposes. If that means we have to jump to a new branch
while supporting the stable release, we'll start the kernel out in testing
first until we've had some feedback that it's safe to move it to the patches
directory.

Those two amdgpu reverts are also in the stable queue for 5.12.14.

Installed as default kernel-generic-5.13.0-x86_64-1.txz & kernel-modules-5.13.0-x86_64-1.txz, ran mkinitrd & rebooted.

All is working so far...

cwizardone · 06-29-2021, 12:46 AM

Installed the 5.13.0 huge kernel, headers, modules and source several hours ago and all is well. No coughs, sneezes or hiccups.

3rensho · 06-30-2021, 08:36 AM

The new kernel versions that cwizardone announced earlier have been released.
