exclaim Kernel flags required for diginode

Posted by DanBUK at 2004-12-30 11:28 AM
Hi there,
I wanted to update the kernel on the virtual servier on diginode, but I guess that I removed some important flags when remaking the config file.

What is the required support in the kernel for it to function with diginode and its servers.


Kind regards,
Daniel.

You will need to add the following for serial console support -

console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600n8

And the following if you are using Linux 2.6 kernels to solve syncing issues-

clock=pit

Sorry I think you misunderstood, I meant in the .config file for building the kernel, which features need to be compiled in the kernel or as modules.

Cheers,
Daniel.

This is how I put my grub.conf, 2.6.5 is as it was from the install:
default 0
timeout 10
#splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
serial --unit=0 --speed=9600 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1
terminal --timeout=10 serial console

title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.5
root (hd0,0)
kernel /kernel-2.6.5-gentoo-r1 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc real_root=/dev/sda2 console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600n8
initrd /initrd-2.6.5-gentoo-r1

title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.9
root (hd0,0)
kernel /kernel-2.6.9-gentoo-r13 init=/linuxrc console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600n8 root=/dev/sda2
