Hi, I have a general question. How do we normally verify linux-next tree? I wanted to work on linux-next but I am facing some issues. I could able to build linux-next for both x86 and arm, but I could not verify it on any machine. Currently I don't have a real Linux PC to boot with linux-next kernel. So I am trying to find alternative ways, like using the virtual box or qemu-arm. 1) For Oracle virtual box 5.1.26 with ubuntu-32 bit, the linux-next kernel is not booting. 2) For qemu-arm (versatilepb), I am able to build the kernel, but I could not figure out which rootfs to use with it. I tried creating minimal rootfs using busybox, but it does not contain enough interface. I am not able to open multiple terminal and also could not setup ssh to access it using PUTTY. So, if you know of any better rootfs to use with qemu-arm please let me know. Or, if you know of any better option to use linux-next please tell me. It will be really helpful. Thank You! Regards, Pintu

The same exact way you "verify" any other Linux kernel, for whatever definition of "verify" you plan to use.
1) For Oracle virtual box 5.1.26 with ubuntu-32 bit, the linux-next kernel is not booting.
Does an Ubuntu kernel boot correctly under VirtualBox? If not, fix that issue first. Also, "is not booting" isn't detailed enough for anybody to make even a guess as to what's wrong. Also, note that 5.1.28 is out.
Hello, i can tell you ubuntu 16.04 works under virtualbox 5.1.28 with the current linux-next kernel My maschine: Host: Windows 10 Guest: Ubuntu 16.04 Am Freitag, den 29.09.2017, 08:41 -0400 schrieb valdis.kletnieks@vt.edu:
