Category: Autoinstall Kernel Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: dann frazier (dannf) Summary: opteron patches Initial Comment: The following patches are for adding native opteron (x86_64) support to System Imager, especially for making autoboot cds. These were done on si version 3.0.1, but I don't know that it makes much difference. I no longer have access to the dual opterons I used to do this and I don't have access to a high speed line to check it all out. There are three areas that were a problem in porting this. the make.d/kernel.rul file, the dosfstools source and the mkautoinstallcd file. The diff for the kernel.rul file is here: ********************************* diff -i ./make.d/kernel.rul /cdrom/make.d/kernel.rul 15a16,22 > ifeq ($(ARCH),x86_64) > LINUX_VERSION = 2.4.20 > LINUX_URL = http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/$(LINUX_TARBALL) > LINUX_IMAGE = $(LINUX_SRC)/arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage > LINUX_TARGET = bzImage > LINUX_DIR = linux-$(LINUX_VERSION) > endif ********************************** the diff for the dosfstools is here: ********************************* diff -i -r ./dosfsck/common.h /cdrom/src/dosfstools_2.8/dosfsck/common.h 7a8 > #include <linux/byteorder/little_endian.h> diff -i -r ./dosfsck/io.c /cdrom/src/dosfstools_2.8/dosfsck/io.c 45c45 < #if defined(__alpha) || defined (__ia64__) --- > #if defined(__alpha) || defined (__ia64__) || defined (__x86_64) diff -i -r ./mkdosfs/mkdosfs.c /cdrom/src/dosfstools_2.8/mkdosfs/mkdosfs.c 98c98 < #if defined(__alpha) || defined(__ia64__) --- > #if defined(__alpha) || defined(__ia64__) || defined(__x86_64) ************************************ I don't have access to the changes made to the mkautoinstallcd script anymore, but it needs to have the _x86_64 type added on lines 100, 201, 250 and 262. I was able to get it to boot (up to changing over to the initrd, where it failed) from the cd making an iso image this way. I hope this helps get si on native opteron.
