## Discussions
|
||||
|
||||
* This SIG does have some overlap with SIG/Altarch
|
||||
* Altarch was expecting to base on elrepo
|
||||
* Two options: mainline and LTS. Default to Mainline
|
||||
* Two kernels right now:
|
||||
* LTS - manual, done by Pablo
|
||||
* Mainline - kernel packer in Peridotv2
|
||||
* standard config from upstream doesn't support a lot of our SBCs
|
||||
* intending to stay as close to upstream as possible
|
||||
* Upstream == fedora rawhide branch's RHEL configs
|
||||
* ** Can we build a kernel-mainline artifact for altarch. e.g., kernel-mainline-sbc like kernel-rt/64ka **
|
||||
* Alternatively, we can create a new package for that name, but that is probably a lot of rework (?)
|
||||
* ELrepo contributions
|
||||
* What changes are we going to contribute?
|
||||
* There are some subset of changes which are beneficial to the overall ecosystem (like an SBC variant which is disabled by default)
|
||||
* There's some stuff they might not want to use, and our specs will definitely change over time, not necessarily in step with ELRepo
|
||||
* Mainline variant for SBCs
|
||||
* Two options: subpackage of mainline or discrete packed kernel with a new name
|
||||
* Leaning towards a discrete package which can be 'packed' directly into git.r.o/sig/altarch/ namespace, if needed
|
||||
* Idea on generating kernel configs for SBCs
|
||||
* For some sbcs we need to boot via dtb and not acpi so we require mainline kernel
|
||||
* usually require drivers which are disabled by default
|
||||
* https://git.resf.org/thefossguy/kernel-elrepo/commit/ff349cb79376d1ef4b80c4f8c2cb07703dc3db5e
|
||||
* Pablo: Fedora is generally open to enabling these in those configs, and are usually enabled already
|
||||
* RHEL configs are a lot more conservative as they only enable what they need
|
||||
* Harder to go from RHEL -> working SBC than Fedora -> working (typically), so this is the approach usually he takes
|
||||
* ELRepo is in the middle :)
|
||||
* Recommends starting with fedora than trying to work backwards
|
||||
* Pratham will try this
|
||||
* Also working on comparing 9.2 configs to 9.3 with prior work on sbc enablement
|
||||
* seems to be working (booting) where elrepo kernel was not
|
||||
* need to work out when acpi is not there
|
||||
* https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-ark
|
||||
* Mainline kernel is 6.5 right now, we will go to 6.6
|
||||
* There is an issue with 6.7, we have issues w/ NX and shim
|
||||
* There is an exception for Linux distributions right now, but we won't be able to sign 6.7 without a new shim
|
||||
* We'll try and hold onto 6.6 for as long as we can -- and that's OK
|
||||
* May need to have non-nx and nx-ready shim
|
||||
* :upside-down-face:
|
||||
* Sherif will be working on LTS 6.1 on x86 a bit this week

||||
