I downloaded the install-powerpc-minimal-20100912.iso and I'm trying to get it installed in a LPAR on an IBM pSeries Power6 machine. The network virtual network device is provided through a LHEA. The install media only seems to supply a driver for use virtual network devices that are supplied through the VIOS (ibmveth). Since it only seems to be possible to do network installs these days then it's causing some issues... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot: ibmpower-hvc0 nodhcp nousb 2. modprobe ehea 3. Actual Results: FATAL: Module ehea not found.
The current kernel wasn't compiling with IPR support, I'll check it again on a newer kernel when it becomes available.
OK, thank you Joe! How often are the kernels updated updated for the install media?
Or where can I find the kernel Makefile for the ppc autobuild install iso?
I build a kernel from 2.6.35.4 sources and the eHEA driver works fine with that.
ping?
Unfortunately, I'm only able to do userland testing. I suspect however, that the newer kernls have this fixed.
This was fixed in at least installcd-ibm-2.6.34.config +CONFIG_EHEA=m commit 4738c9b5d99393f588c9d61e4e5638c83fd2fb5d Author: Brent Baude <ranger@gentoo.org> Date: Mon Nov 7 22:36:09 2011 +0000 Updated kernel config with ehea enabled svn path=/trunk/; revision=834
