Virtualisation on HP ProLiant hardware with squeeze

Published 10 months, 2 weeks ago in Uncategorized. 2 Comments Tags: , , .

In case you are using HP ProLiant G6-series or G7-series with Intel-based hardware and you are thinking about virtualistion (e.g. booting the hypervisor), you should have a look into this customer advisory. To make it short, the following should work:

# grep GRUB_CMDLINE_XEN /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_XEN=”pci=use_crs”
# update-grub

It took me two workdays to discover this solution for a DL180G6. Anyways … I’m still having trouble on a DL160G6 when booting the hypervisor, suggestions are welcome.

This weekend we did run a booth at Chemnitzer Linuxtage. As always, it was a joy to be at this event. We had great discussions and talks with guests and exhibitors, I also enjoyed a small number of lectures. The booth did run well, beside some quirks. Some pictures can be found here.

After Debian Squeeze was released last weekend, development will speed up again.
Today I uploaded a new postfwd package which ships also the postfwd2 script, a prefork server version.
I also started to orphan packages I’m not using anymore or having dead upstream. The first candidate was policyd-weight, fortunately Chris Butler took the package over.
I’m happy to be the first uploader into squeeze-backports with …. icinga.

Our baby was release just some moments ago. Many thanks to all who made this happen, I’m very proud!
Also many thanks to the release team, ftpmaster, cd people, www-team, press folks and all who worked so hard today instead of having release party, to make it real.
