1 | KERNEL SOURCE: |
| 2 | ============== | |
| 3 | ||
| 4 | We use the RHEL7 kernel sources, available from: | |
| 5 | ||
| 6 | ftp://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/rhel/ | |
| 7 | ||
| 8 | ||
| 9 | Additional/Updated Modules: | |

| 13 | ||
| 14 | - include latest igb driver from intel/sourceforge | |
| 15 | ||
| 16 | - include latest e1000e driver from intel/sourceforge | |
| 17 | ||
| 18 | - include latest Broadcom bnx2 drivers | |
| 19 | ||
| 20 | * original file linux-7.8.56.zip contains | |
| 21 | netxtreme2-7.8.56.tar.gz (added to repository) | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | - include latest Adaptec aacraid driver | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | * http://download.adaptec.com/raid/aac/linux/aacraid-linux-src-1.2.1-40300.tgz | |
| 26 | ||

| 31 | FIRMWARE: | |
| 32 | ========= | |
| 33 | ||
| 34 | We create our own firmware package, which includes the firmware for | |
| 35 | all proxmox-ve kernels. So far this include | |
| 36 | ||
| 37 | pve-kernel-2.6.18 | |
| 38 | pve-kernel-2.6.24 | |
| 39 | pve-kernel-2.6.32 | |
| 40 | pve-kernel-2.6.35 | |
| 41 | pve-kernel-3.10.0 | |
| 42 | ||
| 43 | We use 'find-firmware.pl' to extract lists of required firmeware | |
| 44 | files. The script 'assemble-firmware.pl' is used to read those lists | |
| 45 | and copy the files from various source directory into a target | |
| 46 | directory. | |
| 47 | ||
| 48 | We do not include firmeware for some wireless HW when there is a | |
| 49 | separate debian package for that, for example: | |
| 50 | ||
| 51 | zd1211-firmware | |
| 52 | atmel-firmware | |
| 53 | bluez-firmware | |
| 54 | ||
| 55 | ||
| 56 | PATCHES: | |
| 57 | -------- | |
| 58 | ||
| 59 | bridge-patch.diff: Avoid bridge problems with changing MAC | |
| 60 | see also: http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=msg&th=5291 | |
| 61 | ||
| 62 | Behaviour after 2.6.27 has changed slighly - after setting mac address | |
| 63 | of bridge device, then address won't change. So we could omit | |
| 64 | that patch, requiring to set hwaddress in /etc/network/interfaces. | |
| 65 | ||
| 66 | ||
| 67 | Additional information | |
| 68 | ---------------------- | |
| 69 | ||
| 70 | We use the default configuration provided by RHEL, and apply | |
| 71 | the following modification: | |
| 72 | ||
| 73 | see config-3.10.0.diff | |
| 74 | ||
| 75 | - enable common CONFIG_BLK_DEV_XXX to avoid hardware detection | |
| 76 | problems (udev, undate-initramfs hav serious problems without that) | |
| 77 | ||
| 78 | CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y | |
| 79 | CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR=y | |
| 80 | CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DM=y | |
| 81 | ||
| 82 | - disable module signatures (CONFIG_MODULE_SIG) | |
| 83 | ||
| 84 | - enable IBM JFS file system | |
| 85 | ||
| 86 | This is disabled in RHEL kernel for no real reason, so we enable | |
| 87 | it as requested by users (bug #64) | |
| 88 | ||
| 89 | - enable apple HFS and HFSPLUS | |
| 90 | ||
| 91 | This is disabled in RHEL kernel for no real reason, so we enable | |
| 92 | it as requested by users | |
| 93 | ||
| 94 | - enable CONFIG_BRIDGE=y | |
| 95 | ||
| 96 | Else we get warnings on boot, that | |
| 97 | net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables is an unknown key | |
| 98 | ||
| 99 | # Note: enable now for testing | |
| 100 | #- disable CONFIG_BRIDGE_IGMP_SNOOPING | |
| 101 | # | |
| 102 | # To avoid problems with multicasting. Various users reported | |
| 103 | # multipath problems, which can be avoided by turning off IGMP | |
| 104 | # snooping. | |
| 105 | ||
| 106 | # deadline is default anyways now | |
| 107 | #- use 'deadline' as default scheduler | |
| 108 | # | |
| 109 | # This is the suggested setting for KVM. We also measure bad fsync | |
| 110 | # performance with ext4 and cfq. | |
| 111 | ||
| 112 | Testing final kernel with kvm | |
| 113 | ----------------------------- | |
| 114 | ||
| 115 | kvm -kernel data/boot/vmlinuz-3.10.0-1-pve -initrd initrd.img-3.10.0-1-pve -append "vga=791 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr" /dev/zero | |
