I see the mainline PPA builds are broken again:

  DEPMOD  5.11.0-051100rc1-generic
Warning: 'make modules_install' requires depmod. Please install it.
This is probably in the kmod package.

I used the config file from 5.10, and accepted defaults:

doug@s18:~$ uname -a
Linux s18 5.11.0-rc1-stock #845 SMP PREEMPT Mon Dec 28 07:17:42 PST 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

that it is running is as far as I have progressed.

It breaks too often now, not the place to be on Sunday anymore. Nothing wrong so far. Splash screen shows a message about libbtf without incidence.

It seems it was worth waiting for...

Perfect cycle so far, abnormal splash screen for rc-5, but corrected 2-3 days after. The kernel schedule is now back to normal, 2 hours after Linus.

5.11 has been released, although not yet on kernel.org or the Ubuntu PPA.

There was a fix for AMD using schedutil governor that barley made it in, but has ongoing complaints.

I had thought there was going to be an -rc8, and was surprised.

EDIT: now available via Ubuntu PPA.
Interesting side note: This is the first time I have ever seen the Ubuntu PPA post before kernel.org

Both mainline kernels 5.11.1 and 5.11.2 build failed

Gee, build fails have been happening all too often this last year.

the log says:

make[3]: *** No rule to make target 'debian/canonical-certs.pem', needed by 'certs/x509_certificate_list'.  Stop.
make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

but I do observe the daily built O.K. will watch for 5.12-rc1 tomorrow.

EDIT: Link to IRC mentioned by jermey31 in the next post.

I think this issue is being worked on as the kernel team was alerted on #ubuntu-kernel today

[zika]

For the second day in a row "daily" (the only one available) is not booting here. It installs OK, and stalls on graphics enabling... Will follow. Other non-mainline kernels boot perfectly.
