42 | FIRMWARE: |
| 43 | ========= | |
| 44 | ||
| 45 | We create our own firmware package, which includes the firmware for | |
| 46 | all proxmox-ve kernels. So far this include | |
| 47 | ||
| 48 | pve-kernel-2.6.18 | |
| 49 | pve-kernel-2.6.24 | |
| 50 | pve-kernel-2.6.32 | |
| 51 | pve-kernel-2.6.35 | |
| 52 | pve-kernel-3.10.0 | |
| 53 | ||
| 54 | We use 'find-firmware.pl' to extract lists of required firmeware | |
| 55 | files. The script 'assemble-firmware.pl' is used to read those lists | |
| 56 | and copy the files from various source directory into a target | |
| 57 | directory. | |
| 58 | ||
| 59 | We do not include firmeware for some wireless HW when there is a | |
| 60 | separate debian package for that, for example: | |
| 61 | ||
| 62 | zd1211-firmware | |
| 63 | atmel-firmware | |
| 64 | bluez-firmware | |
| 65 | ||
| 66 | ||
| 67 | PATCHES: | |
| 68 | -------- | |
| 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. | |
| 76 | ||
| 77 | ||
| 78 | Additional information | |
| 79 | ---------------------- | |
| 80 | ||
| 81 | We use the default configuration provided by RHEL, and apply | |
| 82 | the following modification: | |
| 83 | ||
| 84 | see config-3.10.0.diff | |
| 85 | ||
| 79f048f2 DM |
86 | - enable CONFIG_CEPH_FS=m (request from user) |
| 87 | ||
| 688f31fc DM |
88 | - enable common CONFIG_BLK_DEV_XXX to avoid hardware detection |
| 89 | problems (udev, undate-initramfs hav serious problems without that) | |
| 90 | ||
| 91 | CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y | |
| 92 | CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR=y | |
| 93 | CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DM=y | |
| 94 | ||
| 2600940a DM |
95 | - compile NBD and RBD modules |
| 96 | CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NBD=m | |
| 97 | CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RBD=m | |
| 98 | ||
| 99 | - set LOOP_MIN_COUNT to 8 (debian defaults) | |
| 100 | CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP_MIN_COUNT=8 | |
| 101 | ||
| 688f31fc DM |
102 | - disable module signatures (CONFIG_MODULE_SIG) |
| 103 | ||
| 104 | - enable IBM JFS file system | |
| 105 | ||
| 106 | This is disabled in RHEL kernel for no real reason, so we enable | |
| 107 | it as requested by users (bug #64) | |
| 108 | ||
| 109 | - enable apple HFS and HFSPLUS | |
| 110 | ||
| 111 | This is disabled in RHEL kernel for no real reason, so we enable | |
| 112 | it as requested by users | |
| 113 | ||
| bfcb7405 DM |
114 | - enable CONFIG_BCACHE=m (requested by user) |
| 115 | ||
| 688f31fc DM |
116 | - enable CONFIG_BRIDGE=y |
| 117 | ||
| 118 | Else we get warnings on boot, that | |
| 119 | net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables is an unknown key | |
| 120 | ||
| f396caf4 DM |
121 | - disable CONFIG_DEFAULT_SECURITY_SELINUX |
| 122 | ||
| 123 | Use same SELINUX config as debian kernels (CONFIG_DEFAULT_SECURITY_DAC=y) | |
| 124 | ||
| db697728 DM |
125 | - set CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y |
| 126 | ||
| 127 | because if not set, it can give some dynamic memory or cpu frequencies | |
| 128 | change, and vms can crash (mainly windows guest). | |
| 129 | ||
| 130 | see http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/18238-Windows-7-x64-VMs-crashing-randomly-during-process-termination?p=93273#post93273 | |
| 131 | ||
| 062da07d DM |
132 | - set CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR=y |
| 133 | ||
| 134 | gcc on debian wheezy does not supportCONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG | |
| 135 | ||
| 688f31fc DM |
136 | # Note: enable now for testing |
| 137 | #- disable CONFIG_BRIDGE_IGMP_SNOOPING | |
| 138 | # | |
| 139 | # To avoid problems with multicasting. Various users reported | |
| 140 | # multipath problems, which can be avoided by turning off IGMP | |
| 141 | # snooping. | |
| 142 | ||
| 143 | # deadline is default anyways now | |
| 144 | #- use 'deadline' as default scheduler | |
| 145 | # | |
| 146 | # This is the suggested setting for KVM. We also measure bad fsync | |
| 147 | # performance with ext4 and cfq. | |
| 148 | ||
| 149 | Testing final kernel with kvm | |
| 150 | ----------------------------- | |
| 151 | ||
| 062da07d | 152 | kvm -kernel data/boot/vmlinuz-3.10.0-2-pve -initrd initrd.img-3.10.0-2-pve -append "vga=791 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr" /dev/zero |
