Hi,
Following issue.
New server, with 3wsare 9650 raid card.
Default kernel 2.6.18-6 supports this card.
However, openvz 2.6.18 does not
After spending many hours searching the net, I finally have (after test & trial) got this version of OpenVZ kernel working:
nononsense:~# uname -a
Linux nononsense 2.6.18-openvz-18-51.3d2-686 #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 09:56:11 CET 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
But, server is equipped with 8GB RAM, and this version of kernel only shows 4
Is there a way to get bigmem version of this kernel? Or tweak kernel so it does support 8GB ram? I have already changed in config:
CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G=y
CONFIG_RESOURCES_64BIT=y
No other settings ring a bell, so haven't changed them.
====
Also, any other kernel that supports 3ware + 8 GB is welcome
====
Thanx in advance! Spasiba
Cheers,
Aleks

This was done from:
Linux nononsense 2.6.18-6-686 #1 SMP Fri Dec 12 16:48:28 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
I have installed all (!!) of these kernels, but non will work properly:
linux-image-2.6.18-openvz-12-1-686 - Linux kernel binary image for version 2.6.18-openvz-12-1-686
linux-image-2.6.18-openvz-12-1etch1-686 - Linux kernel binary image for version 2.6.18-openvz-12-1etch1-686
linux-image-2.6.18-openvz-13-1etch4-686 - Linux kernel binary image for version 2.6.18-openvz-13-1etch4-686
linux-image-2.6.18-openvz-686 - Linux kernel binary image for version 2.6.18-openvz-686
linux-image-2.6.18-openvz-13-39.1d2-686 - Linux kernel binary image for version 2.6.18-openvz-13-39.1d2-686
linux-image-2.6.18-openvz-13-1etch5-686 - Linux kernel binary image for version 2.6.18-openvz-13-1etch5-686
linux-image-2.6.18-openvz-13-51.3d1-686 - Linux kernel binary image for version 2.6.18-openvz-13-51.3d1-686
linux-image-2.6.18-openvz-18-51.3d2-686 - Linux kernel binary image for version 2.6.18-openvz-18-51.3d2-686
linux-image-2.6.18-openvz-18-53.5d1-686 - Linux kernel binary image for version 2.6.18-openvz-18-53.5d1-686
linux-image-2.6.24-openvz-24-004.1d1-686 - Linux kernel binary image for version 2.6.24-openvz-24-004.1d1-686
linux-image-2.6.18-openvz-18-53.5d3-686 - Linux kernel binary image for version 2.6.18-openvz-18-53.5d3-686
linux-image-2.6.24-openvz-24-004.1d3-686 - Linux kernel binary image for version 2.6.24-openvz-24-004.1d3-686
Only one of them booted up properly, that was:
linux-image-2.6.18-openvz-13-51.3d1-686 - Linux kernel binary image for version 2.6.18-openvz-13-51.3d1-686
However, this one shows up only 4GB of RAM, while there is 8GB present in the server. OpenVZ does work properly in it, but I really need all 8GB )
I have tried to re-compile that kernel to make it work with 8GB, but with no success.
Thanx in advance.
Cheers,
Aleks
