1 | KERNEL SOURCE: |
2 | ============== | |
3 | ||
4 | We use the OpenVZ Kernel sources, available from: | |
5 | ||
6 | http://download.openvz.org/kernel/branches/rhel6-2.6.32/ | |
7 | ||
8 | ||
9 | Additional/Updated Modules: | |
10 | --------------------------- | |
11 | ||
12 | - we use bootsplash to display the boot logo. | |
13 | ||
14 | - include latest AoE driver (http://support.coraid.com/support/linux) | |
15 | ||
16 | - include latest ixgbe driver from intel/sourceforge | |
17 | ||
18 | - include latest igb driver from intel/sourceforge | |
19 | ||
20 | - include latest e1000e driver from intel/sourceforge | |

22 | FIRMWARE: |
23 | ========= | |
24 | ||
25 | We create our own firmware package, which includes the firmware for | |
26 | all proxmox-ve kernels. So far this include | |
27 | ||
28 | pve-kernel-2.6.18 | |
29 | pve-kernel-2.6.24 | |
30 | pve-kernel-2.6.32 | |
31 | pve-kernel-2.6.35 | |
32 | ||
33 | We use 'find-firmware.pl' to extract lists of required firmeware | |
34 | files. The script 'assemble-firmware.pl' is used to read those lists | |
35 | and copy the files from various source directory into a target | |
36 | directory. | |
37 | ||
38 | We do not include firmeware for some wireless HW when there is a | |
39 | separate debian package for that, for example: | |
40 | ||
41 | zd1211-firmware | |
42 | atmel-firmware | |
43 | bluez-firmware | |
44 | ||
45 | ||
46 | PATCHES: | |
47 | -------- | |
48 | ||
49 | bootsplash-3.1.9-2.6.31-rh.patch: bootsplash patch | |
50 | ||
51 | bridge-patch.diff: Avoid bridge problems with changing MAC | |
52 | see also: http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=msg&th=5291 | |
53 | ||
54 | Behaviour after 2.6.27 has changed slighly - after setting mac address | |
55 | of bridge device, then address won't change. So we could omit | |
56 | that patch, requiring to set hwaddress in /etc/network/interfaces. | |

59 | Additional information | |
60 | ---------------------- | |
61 | ||

71 | ||
72 | - disable CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO | |
73 | ||
74 | - disable CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME | |
75 | ||
76 | - enable common CONFIG_BLK_DEV_XXX to avoid hardware detection | |
77 | problems (udev, undate-initramfs hav serious problems without that) | |
78 | ||
79 | CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y | |
80 | CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR=y | |
81 | CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DM=y | |
82 | ||
e21b3827 DM |
83 | - disable CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED to avoid corosync startup errors |
84 | ||
