as i got a very old and still working hp server i liked to install |
| 2 |
gentoo on it to try to make it usefull here, first problem for me was |
| 3 |
that i had problems getting grub to find valid root device, the root |
| 4 |
dev is mounted /dev/cciss/c0d0p3 but this is needed to be writed in |
| 5 |
grub.conf as real_root=/dev/cciss!c0d0p3 |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
all else is just from the handbook |

with 2.6.35 there is problem to load firmware to tg3 ethernet, it |
| 10 |
works in 2.6.34 |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
it leads me to the next question, is there not anyplace where a |
| 13 |
default kernel config exists for most big server platform, or does |
| 14 |
others just customize it so much there is not a common good one ? |
| 15 |

so far i am happy to see ~42000 bogomips in gentoo with whole 32GB ram |
| 17 |
and 8 core cpu, my plan with it will be to try using it with |
| 18 |
virtualbox and have other os that way |
