Slackware ARM installers and system packages for the Raspberry Pi 2, 3 and 4/400 have been updated and are now using kernel 5.13. They are all available to download from the SARPi Project website:

https://sarpi.penthux.net/index.php?p=downloads

Slackware ARM current running kernel 5.13.x on a Raspberry Pi 4 [4GB] has been tested for well over two weeks and has not produced a single problem during that period. The Raspberry Pi 2 and 3 also seem to run Slackware ARM flawlessly but haven't had nearly as much time testing with this updated kernel...

So, as always, please let me know if you find any problems which need to be addressed. Otherwise have fun and enjoy the new shizzle.

Awesome. Thanks.

Yes, thank you.

I had audio going through hdmi before applying updates, now audio is going through headphones.

/boot/config.txt dtparam=audio=on is uncommented as was before applying updates

this worked before but doesn't seem to now.

Yes the update breaks HDMI audio, analog/headphone jack still functions.

Sorry, the solution I suggested did not work... still no HDMI audio.

If I remember correctly, this was also a problem when upgrading to kernel 4.19 and 5.4 on the Raspberry Pis. Might have been the same thing with kernel 5.10 too.

I had hdmi audio after updating to 5.10.44-v7l-sarpi4 Jun 19, the most recent update to 5.13.9-v7l-sarpi4 lost hdmi audio.

they keep breaking my audios

Yep, same here, I was running the latest current kernel before the last update.

I have a rule of thumb on the Raspberry Pis to wait until at least the mid-teen revision version on any new kernel releases before expecting everything to be working the same as previous versions. One could assert that it should be the case before any new kernel release(s) but they don't always seem to work that way, unfortunately.

I wonder if your audio issue is the same as reported by DrGibbon in the x86 side. Pulse Audio issues.

I have upgraded my PI4 with this new kernel and I have problems with HDMI video outputs.

Screen that was displaying the RPI4 shows nothing now

and I see many errors messages in dmesg :

Strange. I've been running the new kernel 5.13.x on a RPi4 [4GB] since the last week of July 2021 and not seen any video errors like the one you're experiencing. In fact, I've not had so much as a hiccup or murmur with Slackware ARM operations. It's all performed extremely well indeed throughout.

From your dmesg output, it looks like quite a lot of errors relating to missing/corrupt modules and direct memory allocation, with some vc4_drm headaches thrown in.

I can easily bang out another [next] batch using kernel 5.10.x if it's going to save the universe from total destruction and make life easier for you personally. Just let me know.

[EDIT] ... or you could just go back to using kernel 5.10.52 in the last batch before the update.

I saw that, thanks, will look into it when I have time.

Exaga, it's all good, no worries, will report back here when I do, CHEERS!
