Compilation matter
#1
Hello, I know there is many questions about the compilation and ect....

I've tried 10 times this topic : http://wiki.fragaholics.de/index.php/EN:Linux_Kernel_Optimization
without any results. Worst my server doesn't want to boot even if i select ALL the SCSI and SATA controlers. I'm used Debian Squeeze.Here my lspci :

00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Core Processor DRAM Controller (rev 18)
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Core Processor PCI Express x16 Root Port (rev 18)
00:1a.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset USB2 Enhanced Host Controller (rev 05)
00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset PCI Express Root Port 1 (rev 05)
00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset USB2 Enhanced Host Controller (rev 05)
00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev a5)
00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 3400 Series Chipset LPC Interface Controller (rev 05)
00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset 6 port SATA AHCI Controller (rev 05)
01:00.0 Serial Attached SCSI controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS2008 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 [Falcon] (rev 03)
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5716 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 20)
02:00.1 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5716 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 20)
03:03.0 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA G200eW WPCM450 (rev 0a)

I couldn't see what's the error because i rent the server from http://www.onlinet.net. I'm lost with all that topics about kernel and patches and zen kernel ....

If someone want to help me it will be great

Thank

are your HDDs connected to the SAS controller? in that case you need to enable the respective drivers as well, you can find them in "SCSI device support" / "SCSI low-level drivers" and then probably "LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS RAID Module" in your case.

make sure you enable them fixed, not as a module, i.e. make them having a [*] or <*> (not an M). That is important for the respective SCSI low-level driver, the SCSI disk support and probably for the RAID Transport Class.

on the other hand, if you have an SATA disk, you do not need all this SCSI stuff, but the SCSI disk support.

in any case it is important to build the drivers not as module, else the kernel will not be able to load them (unless you are using an initial ram disk, which I do not recommend!). also make sure your file system driver is not a module but fixed in the kernel. you can find out which file system you are using (for the root partition) by looking at the /etc/fstab

I hope that helped...

I created a guide in my wiki (as part of the new Linux optimization guide) which might help you: http://wiki.fragaholics.de/index.php/EN:Kernel_Configuration_avoid_initrd (though it does not cover setup of SAS RAIDs).
