Kernel Tests Continues.
Latest Bleeding Edge Linux Kernel, 7.0-rc2 On Raspberry Pi 4B.
This kernel has been running for 27 minutes at the time of this post and it was running a little hot initially but things seems to be settling down. All the relevant services seem to be working as normal on the Raspberry Pi 4b hosts thus far.
This kernel, 6.19.5 had been running since Sunday 01 March, 2026 until less that an hour ago and I found it to be stable with no crashes or noticeable anomalies. With the exception that some Raspberry Pi 4 versions did run very hot even with fans and heat sinks. One such device got as hot as 80°C. However, that was mitigated by adding an extra fan which kept temperatures on the same device averaging 42°C.
Since last Sunday, March 01, 2026, I had been running the current stable kernel of that time, kernel-6.19.5, which has now been upgraded to kernel-6.19.6 as of the time of this post. I found the 6.19.y kernels to be stable, reliable especially after the version 6.19.2, relative to the Raspberry Pi which was my test device.
If one remembers correctly, the 6.19.1 and 6.19.2 caused a number of kernel crashes and unscheduled reboots, however, upon the implementation of 6.19.3 to the present, those problems never resurfaced. Obviously, we'll be monitoring the latest test kernel and I'll make notable reports some time next week to list any bugs, progress or anomalies. So far, everything seems to be running smoothly. Thanks.

Odysee is a community platform, and we believe it should be built by the community too. Whether you're a developer looking to contribute code, a designer with fresh ideas, or a creator who sees possibilities we haven't imagined yet, we'd love you to help us build it. After all, Odysee was created for you which means it needs to be built with what you need.
