Category: None >Group: 1.9 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Debian 4.0 Support Initial Comment: Hi, Support for newer Distribution like Debian 4.0 and Debian sid would be nice - maybe with a deb svn repo of daily snapshots? The use of a newer Linux Kernel will bring a better Hardware Support for "Desktop Clusters". Faster Porting to new Kernel Version will be nice. Like 2.6.18, 2.6.24/25? lg Richi ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Roger Tsang (rogertsang) Date: 2008-08-25 23:59 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1246761 Originator: NO I'm looking forward to porting the 2.0.0pre3 (aka. 1.9.6) release to a newer 2.6 kernel... Thinking about why not to 2.6.16.y stable stable first as in the original plan. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2008-08-07 18:22 Message: Logged In: NO Just a "me too". I'm currently just getting into the world of clustering at a kind of "hobbyist" level. I'm using current hardware, so I need to use a reasonably current kernel. OpenSSI WOULD be my first choice, but I'm now looking at Kerrighed instead simply because a 2.6.11/12 kernel is WAY too old for the hardware I'm using. Re. John Hughes work: it's good to see that at least someone is trying to do something, but it'd be nice if the "main guys" could see a need to stay a bit more up-to-date. As Mr. Hughes himself said, his forward port doesn't include Roger's latest work, so we can either have an out of date kernel or out of date OpenSSI on a newer kernel. Might as well paste this here too (from http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.cluster.ssic.devel/5769 cos the SorceForge mailing list links are borked)... "Since my company webserver is down I've taken advantage of Ivan Krstic's kind offer to host the packages on deb.openssi.org. You can now find the instructions at: http://deb.openssi.org/alpha/openssi-etch and http://deb/openssi.org/alpha/openssi-lenny I've not bothered with the Ubuntu Hardy Heron version as that is pretty flaky, but if anyone needs/wants it give me a shout." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2008-06-04 21:38 Message: Logged In: NO It is kernel 2.6.12. I hope on Debian soon we can get support for at least kernel 2.6.18, where many more drivers (mainly ethernet drivers) were added. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: John Hughes (hughesj) Date: 2008-05-14 16:33 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=166336 Originator: NO See http://www.atlantech.com/~john/openssi-etch for alpha quality preview ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=405837&aid=1956468&group_id=32541 |
