45 | FIRMWARE: |
| 46 | ========= | |
| 47 | ||
| 48 | We create our own firmware package, which includes the firmware for | |
| 49 | all proxmox-ve kernels. So far this include | |
| 50 | ||
| 51 | pve-kernel-2.6.18 | |
| 52 | pve-kernel-2.6.24 | |
| 53 | pve-kernel-2.6.32 | |
| 54 | pve-kernel-2.6.35 | |
| 55 | ||
| 56 | We use 'find-firmware.pl' to extract lists of required firmeware | |
| 57 | files. The script 'assemble-firmware.pl' is used to read those lists | |
| 58 | and copy the files from various source directory into a target | |
| 59 | directory. | |
| 60 | ||
| 61 | We do not include firmeware for some wireless HW when there is a | |
| 62 | separate debian package for that, for example: | |
| 63 | ||
| 64 | zd1211-firmware | |
| 65 | atmel-firmware | |
| 66 | bluez-firmware | |
| 67 | ||
| 68 | ||
| 69 | PATCHES: | |
| 70 | -------- | |
| 71 | ||
| 72 | bootsplash-3.1.9-2.6.31-rh.patch: bootsplash patch | |
| 73 | ||
| 74 | bridge-patch.diff: Avoid bridge problems with changing MAC | |
| 75 | see also: http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=msg&th=5291 | |
| 76 | ||
| 77 | Behaviour after 2.6.27 has changed slighly - after setting mac address | |
| 78 | of bridge device, then address won't change. So we could omit | |
| 79 | that patch, requiring to set hwaddress in /etc/network/interfaces. | |

| 82 | Additional information | |
| 83 | ---------------------- | |
| 84 | ||
| 85 | We use the default configuration provided by openvz, and apply | |
| 86 | the following modification: | |
| 87 | ||
| 88 | see config-2.6.32.diff | |
| 89 | ||
| 90 | - enable bootsplash | |
| 91 | CONFIG_FB_VESA=y | |
| 92 | CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=Y | |
| 93 | CONFIG_BOOTSPLASH=y | |
| 94 | ||
| 95 | - disable CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO | |
| 96 | ||
| 97 | - disable CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME | |
| 98 | ||
| 99 | - enable common CONFIG_BLK_DEV_XXX to avoid hardware detection | |
| 100 | problems (udev, undate-initramfs hav serious problems without that) | |
| 101 | ||
| 102 | CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y | |
| 103 | CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR=y | |
| 104 | CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DM=y | |
| 105 | ||
| e21b3827 DM |
106 | - disable module signatures (CONFIG_MODULE_SIG, CONFIG_CRYPTO_SIGNATURE) |
| 107 | ||
| 108 | - enable usbip (this is also enable on debian kernels) | |
| 109 | ||
| 110 | CONFIG_USB_IP_COMMON=m | |
| 111 | CONFIG_USB_IP_VHCI_HCD=m | |
| 112 | CONFIG_USB_IP_HOST=m | |
| 113 | ||
| d9e10626 | 114 | - enable IBM JFS file system |
| 7e70f1cc DM |
115 | |
| 116 | This is disabled in RHEL kernel for no real reason, so we enable | |
| 117 | it as requested by users (bug #64) | |
| 1cfff965 | 118 | |
| d9e10626 DM |
119 | - enable apple HFS and HFSPLUS |
| 120 | ||
| 121 | This is disabled in RHEL kernel for no real reason, so we enable | |
| 122 | it as requested by users | |
| 123 | ||
| 2c0fe19a DM |
124 | - enable CONFIG_BRIDGE=y |
| 125 | ||
| 126 | Else we get warnings on boot, that | |
| 127 | net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables is an unknown key | |
| 128 | ||
| e5c53408 DM |
129 | - disable CONFIG_BRIDGE_IGMP_SNOOPING |
| 130 | ||
| 131 | To avoid problems with multicasting. Various users reported | |
| 132 | multipath problems, which can be avoided by turning off IGMP | |
| 133 | snooping. | |
| 134 | ||
| 43117d4e DM |
135 | - use 'deadline' as default scheduler |
| 136 | ||
| 137 | This is the suggested setting for KVM. We also measure bad fsync | |
| 138 | performance with ext4 and cfq. | |
| e5c53408 | 139 | |
| 5bc65920 DM |
140 | - set CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y |
| 141 | ||
| 142 | because if not set, it can give some dynamic memory or cpu frequencies | |
| 143 | change, and vms can crash (mainly windows guest). | |
| 144 | ||
| 145 | see http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/18238-Windows-7-x64-VMs-crashing-randomly-during-process-termination?p=93273#post93273 | |

147 | Testing final kernel with kvm |
| 148 | ----------------------------- | |
| 149 | ||
