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 | |
| 21 | ||

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. | |

| 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 | |
