4 We use the OpenVZ Kernel sources, available from:
6 http://download.openvz.org/kernel/branches/rhel6-2.6.32/
9 Additional/Updated Modules:
10 ---------------------------
12 - we use bootsplash to display the boot logo.
14 - include latest AoE driver (http://support.coraid.com/support/linux)
16 - include latest ixgbe driver from intel/sourceforge
18 - include latest igb driver from intel/sourceforge
20 - include latest e1000e driver from intel/sourceforge
22 - include latest Broadcom bnx2 drivers
24 * original file linux-7.4.27.zip contains
25 netxtreme2-7.4.27.tar.gz (added to repository)
27 - include latest Adaptec aacraid driver
29 * http://download.adaptec.com/raid/aac/linux/aacraid-linux-src-1.2.1-30300.tgz
31 - include latest megaraid_sas driver
33 * http://www.lsi.com/downloads/Public/MegaRAID%20Common%20Files/MR_Linux_Driver_6.600.18.00.tgz
35 (extract source file megaraid_sas-06.600.18.00-src.tar.gz)
37 - include Highpoint RocketRAID 272X driver
39 * http://www.highpoint-tech.com/BIOS_Driver/rr272x_1x/linux_1.5/RR272x_1x-Linux-Src-v1.5-130325-0732.tar.gz
44 We create our own firmware package, which includes the firmware for
45 all proxmox-ve kernels. So far this include
52 We use 'find-firmware.pl' to extract lists of required firmeware
53 files. The script 'assemble-firmware.pl' is used to read those lists
54 and copy the files from various source directory into a target
57 We do not include firmeware for some wireless HW when there is a
58 separate debian package for that, for example:
68 bootsplash-3.1.9-2.6.31-rh.patch: bootsplash patch
70 bridge-patch.diff: Avoid bridge problems with changing MAC
71 see also: http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=msg&th=5291
73 Behaviour after 2.6.27 has changed slighly - after setting mac address
74 of bridge device, then address won't change. So we could omit
75 that patch, requiring to set hwaddress in /etc/network/interfaces.
78 Additional information
79 ----------------------
81 We use the default configuration provided by openvz, and apply
82 the following modification:
84 see config-2.6.32.diff
88 CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=Y
91 - disable CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO
93 - disable CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME
95 - enable common CONFIG_BLK_DEV_XXX to avoid hardware detection
96 problems (udev, undate-initramfs hav serious problems without that)
102 - disable module signatures (CONFIG_MODULE_SIG, CONFIG_CRYPTO_SIGNATURE)
104 - enable usbip (this is also enable on debian kernels)
106 CONFIG_USB_IP_COMMON=m
107 CONFIG_USB_IP_VHCI_HCD=m
110 - enable IBM JFS file system
112 This is disabled in RHEL kernel for no real reason, so we enable
113 it as requested by users (bug #64)
115 - enable apple HFS and HFSPLUS
117 This is disabled in RHEL kernel for no real reason, so we enable
118 it as requested by users
120 - enable CONFIG_BRIDGE=y
122 Else we get warnings on boot, that
123 net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables is an unknown key
125 - disable CONFIG_BRIDGE_IGMP_SNOOPING
127 To avoid problems with multicasting. Various users reported
128 multipath problems, which can be avoided by turning off IGMP
131 - use 'deadline' as default scheduler
133 This is the suggested setting for KVM. We also measure bad fsync
134 performance with ext4 and cfq.
136 Testing final kernel with kvm
137 -----------------------------
139 kvm -kernel data/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-6-pve -initrd initrd.img-2.6.32-6-pve -append "vga=791 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr splash=silent" /dev/zero
