Trantor Posted May 9, 2015 #1 Posted May 9, 2015 Hi everyone, In order to help this project and the community I have a request for : @Vortex, @Sancome, @Kali, @Jman, @Poechi First big thanks to all of you for your amazing work I see in the changelog that tg3 driver is updated but the included version is v3.121 from 2011, whereas the latest is 3.137. My idea is to provide new/updated drivers (tg3, e1000e, igb, mpt2sas ...) for the XPEnoboot release but there are some "issues" that prevent me to do so. In your release the ramdisk is embedded inside the kernel. This prevent updating anything in the ramdisk... At each boot, there is a checksum check that replace *.ko inside /lib/modules/ if the ko file is not "good" compare to the one inside the ramdrive. So can you please compile your kernel without ramdisk embedded ? EDIT: If you can enable the config option (/proc/config.gz) in order to have the .config it would be great
Diverge Posted May 9, 2015 #2 Posted May 9, 2015 +1 I'd like to see this as well. I'd welcome a newer version of mpt2sas
PnoT Posted May 9, 2015 #3 Posted May 9, 2015 Sounds like a great idea and if you could sneak InfiniBand support in there for Mellanox cards that would be awesome.
Trantor Posted May 10, 2015 Author #4 Posted May 10, 2015 Sounds like a great idea and if you could sneak InfiniBand support in there for Mellanox cards that would be awesome. Can you explain the difference between standard mellanox and InfiniBand ? If I understand correctly according this page : http://www.mellanox.com/page/osv_support_eth The InfiniBand add more functionalities to the standard driver.

These are the drivers that support Infiniband on that page. MLNX_OFED 2.4-1.0.4 These cards will do 10Gb Ethernet, 10, 20, 40, and 56GB Infiniband.
liwei Posted May 11, 2015 #6 Posted May 11, 2015 Embbed ramdisk is not a problem, you can always override/overlay it with your custom ramdisk.
Trantor Posted May 11, 2015 Author #7 Posted May 11, 2015 Embbed ramdisk is not a problem, you can always override/overlay it with your custom ramdisk. Yes I know but the idea is to maintain one release and not create many versions. One version is far more easy to understand for the community than the multiple versions from the past (andy, odie, gnoboot, nanoboot, mine...).
RobsterUK Posted May 12, 2015 #8 Posted May 12, 2015 As this thread is talking about drivers. Could I respectfully make a request for drivers for this hardware: Intel G35 Express chipset: Intel 82G35 Graphics and Memory Controller Hub Intel 82801HB I/O Controller Hub (ICH8) Intel 82566DC Gigabit Ethernet Controller This hardware works under Nanoboot but all I get is 'Boot Error' using XPEnoboot. This would ensure my future use of DSM on bare metal. Many thanks in advance if this is possible
elmuziko Posted May 12, 2015 #9 Posted May 12, 2015 Good to see you back on the boards trantor. Last I read you were building a house or something? I'm sure I speak for everyone on here to say it's nice to see your name pop up again.
Trantor Posted May 14, 2015 Author #10 Posted May 14, 2015 I found some time to compile latest version of some drivers (igb, e1000e, tg3, mpt2sas) and add missing driver for JMicron JMC250/JMC260 (jme driver) jme - v1.0.8.5 tg3 - v3.137h igb - v5.2.18 e1000e - v3.1.0 mpt2sas - v20 I send a PM to sancome asking him to update the XPEnoboot boot image with these.

Link : http://download.xpenology.fr/updated_drivers.zip I know you're a busy man but have you had time to see how hard it would be to incorporate those InfiniBand drivers?
Trantor Posted May 17, 2015 Author #12 Posted May 17, 2015 Here InfiniBand driver for mellanox. I hope it works because there is lot of different protocols Link : http://download.xpenology.fr/infiniband.zip
epicurean Posted May 21, 2015 #13 Posted May 21, 2015 HI Trantor, Thanks so much for the infiniband drivers. How do I incorporate them into the xpenoboot 5.1-5022.3? Newbie here thanks again Just saw the new updated 5.1-5055.1 xpenoboot. Assume the infiniband drivers are already in there?

PnoT Posted May 24, 2015 #16 Posted May 24, 2015 How hard would it be to compile the applications that go with this Infiniband package?
Northbane Posted May 24, 2015 #17 Posted May 24, 2015 Is it possible to add USB3.0 drivers for Intel Bay Trail / Gigabyte J1800N motherboard as well? Thank you in advance!
m4DD0gg Posted June 25, 2015 #18 Posted June 25, 2015 Hi chaps trying to download that infiniband.zip and the link appears to be dead.....could someone please upload.
