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
25 We create our own firmware package, which includes the firmware for
26 all proxmox-ve kernels. So far this include
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
38 We do not include firmeware for some wireless HW when there is a
39 separate debian package for that, for example:
49 bootsplash-3.1.9-2.6.31-rh.patch: bootsplash patch
51 bridge-patch.diff: Avoid bridge problems with changing MAC
52 see also: http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=msg&th=5291
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 ----------------------
62 We use the default configuration provided by openvz, and apply
63 the following modification:
65 see config-2.6.32.diff
69 CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=Y
72 - disable CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO
74 - disable CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME
76 - enable common CONFIG_BLK_DEV_XXX to avoid hardware detection
77 problems (udev, undate-initramfs hav serious problems without that)
83 - disable CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED to avoid corosync startup errors
85 - disable module signatures (CONFIG_MODULE_SIG, CONFIG_CRYPTO_SIGNATURE)
87 - enable usbip (this is also enable on debian kernels)
89 CONFIG_USB_IP_COMMON=m
90 CONFIG_USB_IP_VHCI_HCD=m
93 - enable IBM JFS file system
95 This is disabled in RHEL kernel for no real reason, so we enable
96 it as requested by users (bug #64)
98 Testing final kernel with kvm
99 -----------------------------
101 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
