[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [Xen-devel] Fedora Xen PPC integration report 2/20
I'll go through some of what is going on. Our break down of packages can be found here: http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenPPC/Fedora?highlight=%28Fedora%29 Fedora Community (PPC) ===================== IRC -- best place ~~~ server: irc.feenode.net (freenode) channel: #fedora-ppc Mailing List ~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/fedora-ppc This list is not very active Fedora Core 7 ============= Currently PPC rawhide builds of Fedora core 7 have a lot of know issues (as I found out in IRC). Apparently there is a lot of work happening to the builds at the moment so FC7test3 MAY be a reliable build for PPC. Due to these problems I have been unable to create an environment to get Xen up and going under FC7 to see what may/may not be wrong with userspace tools. I am prodding people now! One sticking point that noone seems to be able to answer yet. Is does Fedora work on IBM System P systems. It looks to work for System I, but Feature freeze -------------- Has been moved back to March 19 Release date ------------ The release date has been moved to May 24th. They are going to attempt to rework the build system so the Fedora Core & Fedora Extras are combined to form Voltron! http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/7/Schedule kernel ------- So options CONFIG_PPC_MULTIPLATFORM (Jimi you called it CONFIG_PPC_GENERIC) is enabled. Which will allow for kernel integration. The Fedora PPC kernel maintainer is David Woodhouse <dwmw2@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> He is more then happy to take in need changes if we can get them in and they don't break anything. Installer (anaconda) -------------------- The installer is unable to create "Prep" partitions which are used by IBM PPC machines to load up the boot loader (as opposed to the Master Boot Record everyone else uses). I've filed a bug on this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=229231 IBM PPC Systems --------------- While it's supposed to work. I have yet to see this work with Global Firmware. Fedora 7 Extras =============== grub2 ------ In this space I started the prep work by packaging up grub2 for fedora-extras with fixes as suggested by Jermy Katz. The problem is no one has gotten to it. I have emailed the list today probing to see if someone would hurry up and review it and throw it in. The bugzilla for the review can be found here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=228255 More info as it comes but this is where things stand as of today. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
