I have used UYOK for very specific needs but that does not fit in this case as I need to be able to use the same kernel in A LOT of different configurations (not just the one in which it was made)...that is why I still use the standard kernel with additions make to the kernel compiled in options and/or initrd my_modules if needed. This allows me to maintain a single kernel/initrd that is replicated to all my remote sites without having to maintain a lot of different kernels for different kinds of machines that I may or may not ever have physical access to. This is why I am trying to get the kernel updated, so I have access to a lot of the drivers necessary for HP that will not work on older kernels.
Bryan P.S. I am in the process of bringing up the trunk code and compiling from scratch....in the off chance that I will need to do a global update to all my servers...as I only have so much time I to get this out. -----Original Message----- From: Bernard Li [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, March 04, 2010 12:51 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [sisuite-users] Updating kernel to 2.6.33 Hi Bryan: On Thu, Mar 4, 2010 at 9:36 AM, Bryan Washer <[email protected]> wrote: > I really do not want to update my SystemImager infrastructure as I have > about 10 of them meshed throughout the organization and that would be quite > a task, but I have a new load of HP DL160's that I Need to add support for > and the IGB driver is not supported in the kernel until 2.6.27, and I have > had one hell of a time trying to back port the driver so I thought I would > just update the SI kernel. Have you tried using UYOK? That way you shouldn't need to update the SystemImager kernel: http://wiki.systemimager.org/index.php/UYOK Cheers, Bernard ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
