Thanks Oliver -----Original Message----- From: LAHAYE Olivier [mailto:olivier.lah...@cea.fr] Sent: Friday, February 21, 2014 8:14 AM To: sisuite-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [sisuite-users] support newer kernels in systemimager?
Hi Steven, Latest systemImager that handle kernels up to 3.99 are here: http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/repos/unstable/rhel-6-x86_64/ And more precisely here for other distros: http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/repos/unstable/ if you want to build from git: git clone http://github.com/finley/SystemImager.git SystemImager cd ./SystemImager sudo make rpm # on rpm based distro sudo make deb # on a deb based distro make show_targets # to see all other possibilities It's preferable to download all depending sources and put those in /usr/src to do so: make get_source sudo cp initrd_source/src/* /usr/src sudo cp src/* /usr/src Note, it's a good idea to retreive source before doing a make rpm or make deb. upon failure, you don't need to redownload the external sources. You can find also old versions (4.2.0-0.92svn4568) here: http://olivier.lahaye1.free.fr/OSCAR/repos/unstable/rhel-6-x86_64/ (for rhel6) http://bison.csm.ornl.gov/repos/unstable (for debians) But they don't support newer kernels. (the regexp in the code responsible for checking kernel version is too restrictive). You can find examples of postinstall scripts to setup gub, grub2, network, keyboard here: http://olivier.lahaye1.free.fr/OSCAR/systemImager-scripts/ (grub 2 script is not yet perfect) I'm planing to rework the way the binary templates are done using dracut. that way, we'll use server distro (supported) files. for example, even on a redhat-el-6, you will be able to run redhat-6 kernel 2.6 on recent hardware (provided that this hardware is supported by redhat). Indeed it makes no sens to have a better kernel than the one installed by the distro as once installed it wouldn't boot. (of course the UYOK will persist and allow for installing custom kernel using post-installscript if you wish, just like it's done today). Best regards. Olivier. -- Olivier LAHAYE CEA DRT/LIST/DIR ________________________________________ De : Steven DuChene [steven.a.duch...@hp.com] Envoyé : mercredi 19 février 2014 23:06 À : yann aubert Cc : sisuite-users@lists.sourceforge.net Objet : Re: [sisuite-users] support newer kernels in systemimager? I tried to access this and the file is not really available. I actually need the systemimager and other pieces for both RHEL/CentOS and the Debian pieces. If I just have the debian/Ubuntu parts I cannot implement my testing infrastructure. Where can I get 4.2.X SIS/systemimager pieces? Both Debian/Ubuntu deb packages and the equivalent rpm packages for RHEL/CentOS??? -- Steven DuChene On 01/20/2014 05:29 AM, yann aubert wrote: > Hi Brian, > > > You can find debian packages here : > https://ipnfiles.in2p3.fr/373a > > Yann > > > On dim., 2014-01-19 at 22:59 -0600, Brian Elliott Finley wrote: >> Steven, >> >> I'm afraid I'm testing with an unstable version that I'm prepping to >> release, but it's not ready yet. >> >> Yann -- do you have debs that you have built from your 4.2.x source >> tree?
