31FIRMWARE:
32=========
33
34We create our own firmware package, which includes the firmware for
35all proxmox-ve kernels. So far this include
36
37pve-kernel-2.6.18
38pve-kernel-2.6.24
39pve-kernel-2.6.32
40pve-kernel-2.6.35
41pve-kernel-3.10.0
42
43We use 'find-firmware.pl' to extract lists of required firmeware
44files. The script 'assemble-firmware.pl' is used to read those lists
45and copy the files from various source directory into a target
46directory.
47
48We do not include firmeware for some wireless HW when there is a
49separate debian package for that, for example:
50
51zd1211-firmware
52atmel-firmware
53bluez-firmware

56PATCHES:
57--------
58
59 bridge-patch.diff: Avoid bridge problems with changing MAC
60 see also: http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=msg&th=5291
61
62 Behaviour after 2.6.27 has changed slighly - after setting mac address
63 of bridge device, then address won't change. So we could omit
64 that patch, requiring to set hwaddress in /etc/network/interfaces.

66
67Additional information
68----------------------
69
70We use the default configuration provided by RHEL, and apply
71the following modification:
72
73see config-3.10.0.diff
74
75- enable common CONFIG_BLK_DEV_XXX to avoid hardware detection
76 problems (udev, undate-initramfs hav serious problems without that)
77
78 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y
79 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR=y
80 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DM=y
81
82- disable module signatures (CONFIG_MODULE_SIG)
83
84- enable IBM JFS file system
85
86 This is disabled in RHEL kernel for no real reason, so we enable
87 it as requested by users (bug #64)
88
89- enable apple HFS and HFSPLUS
90
91 This is disabled in RHEL kernel for no real reason, so we enable
92 it as requested by users
93
94- enable CONFIG_BRIDGE=y
95
96 Else we get warnings on boot, that
97 net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables is an unknown key
98

DM
99- disable CONFIG_DEFAULT_SECURITY_SELINUX
100
101 Use same SELINUX config as debian kernels (CONFIG_DEFAULT_SECURITY_DAC=y)
102

103# Note: enable now for testing
104#- disable CONFIG_BRIDGE_IGMP_SNOOPING
105#
106# To avoid problems with multicasting. Various users reported
107# multipath problems, which can be avoided by turning off IGMP
108# snooping.
109
110# deadline is default anyways now
111#- use 'deadline' as default scheduler
112#
113# This is the suggested setting for KVM. We also measure bad fsync
114# performance with ext4 and cfq.
115
116Testing final kernel with kvm
117-----------------------------
