New Proxmox VE kernel - 2.6.32 (pvetest)

[dietmar]

Makefile in 2.6.18 didn't say anything on OS version, I tried to build 2.6.18 under debian 6.0 and ubuntu 10.10, no luck, many strange compilation errors, which say me, I've chosen wrong build environment.

Proxmox VE is still based on Debian Lenny.

also, I repackaged 2.6.18 kernel with right e1000e drivers (original do not work well with 82571EB card in bonding mode),

package can be found here: http://50x.kontur.ru/pve-kernel-2.6.18_2011-08-19.tar

it is the same as 2.6.18-6 except e1000e drivers

Release notes:

- pve-kernel-2.6.32 (2.6.32-34)

• update ARECA RAID driver (including support for 1880 series)

Unfortunately, this kernel is not working with the 1880-ixl series. Not sure why, haven't had time to check... Anyone else notice this?

1880-ixl is the low-profile card, not full height. Same raid-on processor as the regular 1880-ix.
Works fine with the 1880-ix-16-4G.

so you tell that just another form factor of the card needs another driver? that would be more than strange.

 

[tmo]

yes, indeed! very strange. My raid 10 is only ~1200MB, and everything seems to be set correctly. Anyway, I will look into this further and report back.
If anyone else has a 1880-ixl and experiencing this issue, please holler.

We have had zero luck so far with this 1880-ixl card. What's the driver version that was used? I'll see if we can use the same firmware as on the 1880-ix that works.
