Upgrading Amiga Linux kernel

This is a guide on how to upgrade the kernel for Debian 3.1 for Amiga.
Before upgrading the kernel, do the following:

Replace module init tools with newer version: module-init-tools-3.15-m68k.tar.gz
Extract kernel 4.8.14 modules in /lib/modules/ modules-4.8.14.tar.gz
Finally launch Linux with new kernel vmlinuz-4.8.14.tar.gz

Known bugs: Real Time Clock will not work with new kernel. Use NTP to sync time instead.

QEMU m68k chroot environment

Use Ubuntu linux distribution for this (Fedora seems to have problems with qemu-m68k binfmt)
run apt-get install qemu-user-static
Build qemu-m68k-static binary build from branch qemu-m68k-680x0-v2.7.0 at https://github.com/vivier/qemu-m68k
Or download from here: qemu-m68k-static.tar.gz
