These files are used to bisecting RX 540 gpu kernel bug, also can be used or kernels older than 4.16 or so: casper-rw.xz in this repository has all packages necessary to build kernels, you will still need to configure them on your host machine.
ubuntu 16.04.6 iso file with md5sum of 5416371cc0e990871746ddaac89f1a5e
, you can download it from: http://releases.ubuntu.com/16.04/ubuntu-16.04.6-desktop-amd64.iso
yumi: i have used yumi 2.0.6.0
First extract casper-rw.xz, a 4gb casper-rw file will be created (this is persistent storage that includes all necessary packages, but its only compatible with ubuntu 16.04.6)
Then install iso file using yumi in a windows environment (i have used virtualbox for that), create 4gb persistent storage and replace extracted casper-rw file with that
Boot into usb and build kernels without any problem :) !
For benchmarking, i am using Xonotic and The Talos Principle
