goldserve Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share #1 Posted February 17, 2014 Excuse my ignorance but I have been reading and didn't quite follow the main differences, advantages and disadvantages to one or the other. I am planning an esxi install on a HP Microserver Gen8. Also, is there a good step by step tutorial to an installation using gnoBoot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldserve Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share #5 Posted February 18, 2014 Okay, I think I know how to install it now. What about major differences between the two kernels? Can I still use the same PDF guide to set up esxi and RDM with gnoBoot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnoboot Posted February 18, 2014 Share #7 Posted February 18, 2014 Okay, I think I know how to install it now. What about major differences between the two kernels? <- All my kernel modules aren't built-in which makes it easier for me to track bugs, adding new drivers will not require kernel re-compilation (I can release new drivers w/o updating the rd.gz, except those drivers required for booting your machine), and more driver support (IMHO). Visit my blog to know more about my changes. Can I still use the same PDF guide to set up esxi and RDM with gnoBoot? <- Yes, it should work.

goldserve Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share #9 Posted February 19, 2014 One last question: I am trying to use gnoBoot but which DSM 4.3 file do I use? Where can I find it? Is it the official one or some hacked one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
