Description Michael M 2019-01-29 07:18:32 UTC

Since 4.19.x is a longterm kernel, it is probaply a good idea to stabilize it soon.
I know, you have a lot of tasks to do, so i understand, why this is not in progress alreasy.

I'm using several 4.19 kernels for nearly 3 Month without any problems.

Since the release of 4.19.14 I did not change anymore, to watch for problems at this specific Kernel.
But tere werent any.

I'm using Kernel 4.19.14:

4 x 64bit servers on my ESXI 5.5 width several jobs.
    amavis, fetchmail, apache, mysql, firebirdsql, postfix, imapd... 

1 x 64bit on Intel i7-4770 with several jobs including Plasma-Desktop
     nvidia-drivers-340.107 with NVS450
	 
1 x 64bit server at Celeron J1900

I am being using 4.19 since November in a AMD Ryzen desktop


partially output of last:
reboot   system boot  4.19.3-gentoo    Wed Nov 21 20:01 - 02:14  (06:13)
reboot   system boot  4.9.135-gentoo   Wed Nov 21 19:48 - 20:01  (00:13)

From my point of view is very stable, no hangs so far.


Thanks you for keeping this distro so good. :)

+1.

Have been a user of 4.19.4 on a desktop workstation since it came out, no problems so far. For certain CPU+GPU related reasons I do not want to go back to a pre-4.15 kernel. Have been using several versions of nvidia-drivers with that (1080Ti), currently 415.27; everything works perfectly fine.

uname -a
Linux jan-threadripper 4.19.4-gentoo #1 SMP Tue Nov 27 00:19:11 CET 2018 x86_64 AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X 16-Core Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

Profile:
default/linux/amd64/17.0/desktop/gnome/systemd (stable)

And I will join in the thanks for giving us such a great distro.

Thanks everyone for your interest in stabilizing 4.19.

Soon, we'll be doing another round of stabilization requests and that will be tracked on bug #678094.

We were trying to wait on a bluetooth CVE patch, but that discussion around the solution seems to be continuing longer than we expected.

Thank-you for your patience and understanding.
