if you do reinstall, you will need to install from /sys/src/boot/pc-e820 not /sys/src/boot/pc. if you leave /sys/src/boot/pc there or not doesn't matter. > There is no edev->maxtu in /sys/src/9/pc ether8169.c > there is edev->maxmtu Mtu same thing??? i don't believe you've installed the version of 8169 in my contrib. > > also you may wish to enable support for the new sd stuff. > > quanstro/atazz (send raw ata commands) > > quanstro/smart (smart monitor) that didn't come out right. if you're using the new sd stuff, then these command will work, and you might find them useful. smart has a better chance of being useful than the rather esoteric atazz. > > > > there are a few things in the kernel i've built that don't fit > > in dist packages very well. > > PAT > > jumbo ethernet frames > > kernel cec server (console-over-ethernet) > > /dev/cputemp > > /dev/nomp (mptables when not enabled) > > > > not sure what to do here. this was just fyi. these will be differences between the prebuilt kernel on the iso and one you can rebuild yourself. i forgot some things like jumbo frames, too. this is important for good aoe performance. i've gotten over 1GB/s of sustaned aoe traffic on a lowly 1.6ghz xeon 5000 machine over a myricom 10gbe card. when i get back to working on the myricom stuff, i will post a link to the exact setup. again, the iso is just kind of a bandaid. the contrib packages are, too. it's all quite unsatisfactory. sorry i havn't done a better job. i'm up for suggestions. - erik
