trying to compile the Lustre kernel.

Bug Minor Closed Not a Bug Bob Glossman Ron Croonenberg Wed, 17 Jul 2013 20:35:37 +0000 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 14:56:34 +0000 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 14:56:34 +0000 0 2 <p>Suspect you may have configured your kernel badly with respect to IPMI options. I note that all our regular configs for el6 have IPMI_SI as a built-in, not a module; CONFIG_IPMI_SI=y. Your errors suggest you may have config'ed it as a module.</p> <p>If not that specific one, still may be some other IPMI config setting.</p> <p>Hi Bob, yes CONFIG_IPMI_SI was set to m, I set it to y and trying again. Is there a config file that is best used? </p> <p>thanks,</p> <p>Ron</p> <p>One of the configs kept in lustre/kernel_patches/kernel_configs might be a good place to start.</p> <p>So for example 'config-x86_64-generic-rhel' would probably a good one to use?</p> <p>Ron, I'm not too familiar with the example configs in the kernel source tree. I have the vague impression they leave a lot of settings that require manual update and can be set wrong or badly. That's why I recommend starting with one of the configs in the lustre source tree. I know we use those and they work for us.</p> <p>another good starting point might be the .config from /usr/src/kernel/&lt;kernel-version&gt;</p> <p>Hi Bob, yes I noticed that previously, about the configs that come with the kernel.</p> <p>I just extracted the source rpm, with cpio. (lustre-2.4.0-2.6.32_358.6.2.el6_lustre.g230b174.x86_64_gd3f91c4.src.rpm) but I don't see any kernel configs in there? (if it is elsewhere, do you have a URL?)</p> <p>thanks,</p> <p>Ron</p> <p>Ron, I was referring to the .config in the root /usr/src/kernel tree that is part of the kernel-devel rpm. As far as I know you must have the kernel-devel rpm installed in your build environment in order to build any add on kernel modules, including those that are in lustre.</p> <p>Hi Bob, I do have kernel-devel etc installed. I did extract the lustre kernel in a different directory though... but I don't think that is the issue. it is compiling.. I'll see if it gets past the IPMI stuff.</p> <p>As a specific example you can copy the .config from the installed linux-devel, for example /usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-358.14.1.el6.x86_64/.config, into the top dir of your extracted kernel. Then you can use that as the starting point to make manual changes using for example 'make menuconfig'. You can do the same with a config from the lustre tree, for example lustre/kernel_patches/kernel_configs/kernel-2.6.32-2.6-rhel6-x86_64.config</p> <p>Hello Bob,</p> <p>thanks! I am trying to compile the kernel using the config from the lustre tree</p> <p>Ron</p> <p>ok .. it all seemed to work. thanks!</p> Development Rank 1|hzvvmf: Rank (Obsolete) 9156 Severity
