Hi there!
Today we just ordered some load balanced servers (2 * 2.0Ghz Dual Xeon with SCSI), and was wondering if anyone had a working kernel .config they could send me. Although we have had an SMP server for a couple of years, I have never compiled a SMP kernel before (although it seems to be only one option to enable it in the kernel!), but the part that has me slightly worried is scsi support. I have seen eth00's guides and they are nothing short of excellent, however will these .configs work for the new machines? Thanks. Sandy. |

The kernel config for such systems is not that different; however on our xeons we usually scale the configs to as little as possible to get slim, fast and low foot print on memory - kernels.
A .config file for it specific - i got it all wrapped up in a kernel build script that peaces the .config together from a module dependency script. So short answer; no dont got a .config for this but you could likely use eth00 howto then scale back on it a bit (it is a tad bloated). -------------------- 'Make no mistake, the odds are not in your favor--you have

Thanks for the reply rfxn. I was just being lazy and was hoping someone would have done the dirty work for me already!
Ill tinker, and if I get something relatively cut back and usable ill post it here. Cheers. |

As it stands im still waiting for these servers to be set up, 48 hours later. We have billed for them...
twiddles thumbs I don't really want to piss off anyone at the datacenter because I know I might need their help in the future and EV1 have seemed really nice to deal with in the past. Just kinda getting impatient!
