41 | FIRMWARE: |
42 | ========= | |
43 | ||
44 | We create our own firmware package, which includes the firmware for | |
45 | all proxmox-ve kernels. So far this include | |
46 | ||
47 | pve-kernel-2.6.18 | |
48 | pve-kernel-2.6.24 | |
49 | pve-kernel-2.6.32 | |
50 | pve-kernel-2.6.35 | |
51 | ||
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 | |
55 | directory. | |
56 | ||
57 | We do not include firmeware for some wireless HW when there is a | |
58 | separate debian package for that, for example: | |
59 | ||
60 | zd1211-firmware | |
61 | atmel-firmware | |
62 | bluez-firmware | |
63 | ||
64 | ||
65 | PATCHES: | |
66 | -------- | |
67 | ||
68 | bootsplash-3.1.9-2.6.31-rh.patch: bootsplash patch | |
69 | ||
70 | bridge-patch.diff: Avoid bridge problems with changing MAC | |
71 | see also: http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=msg&th=5291 | |
72 | ||
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 | ---------------------- | |
80 | ||
81 | We use the default configuration provided by openvz, and apply | |
82 | the following modification: | |
83 | ||
84 | see config-2.6.32.diff | |
85 | ||
86 | - enable bootsplash | |
87 | CONFIG_FB_VESA=y | |
88 | CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=Y | |
89 | CONFIG_BOOTSPLASH=y | |
90 | ||
91 | - disable CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO | |
92 | ||
93 | - disable CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME | |
94 | ||
95 | - enable common CONFIG_BLK_DEV_XXX to avoid hardware detection | |
96 | problems (udev, undate-initramfs hav serious problems without that) | |
97 | ||
98 | CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y | |
99 | CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR=y | |
100 | CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DM=y | |
101 | ||
e21b3827 DM |
102 | - disable module signatures (CONFIG_MODULE_SIG, CONFIG_CRYPTO_SIGNATURE) |
103 | ||
104 | - enable usbip (this is also enable on debian kernels) | |
105 | ||
106 | CONFIG_USB_IP_COMMON=m | |
107 | CONFIG_USB_IP_VHCI_HCD=m | |
108 | CONFIG_USB_IP_HOST=m | |
109 | ||
d9e10626 | 110 | - enable IBM JFS file system |
7e70f1cc DM |
111 | |
112 | This is disabled in RHEL kernel for no real reason, so we enable | |
113 | it as requested by users (bug #64) | |
1cfff965 | 114 | |
d9e10626 DM |
115 | - enable apple HFS and HFSPLUS |
116 | ||
117 | This is disabled in RHEL kernel for no real reason, so we enable | |
118 | it as requested by users | |
119 | ||
2c0fe19a DM |
120 | - enable CONFIG_BRIDGE=y |
121 | ||
122 | Else we get warnings on boot, that | |
123 | net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables is an unknown key | |
124 | ||
e5c53408 DM |
125 | - disable CONFIG_BRIDGE_IGMP_SNOOPING |
126 | ||
127 | To avoid problems with multicasting. Various users reported | |
128 | multipath problems, which can be avoided by turning off IGMP | |
129 | snooping. | |
130 | ||
43117d4e DM |
131 | - use 'deadline' as default scheduler |
132 | ||
133 | This is the suggested setting for KVM. We also measure bad fsync | |
134 | performance with ext4 and cfq. | |
e5c53408 | 135 | |

136 | Testing final kernel with kvm |
137 | ----------------------------- | |
138 | ||
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 | |
