Building dell_rbu module
by Major Hayden 03 Jan '16

03 Jan '16

Hey folks, I've rebuilt quite a few Fedora kernels to enable the dell_rbu module for firmware updates on various Dell servers, workstations, and laptops that are running Fedora 21 and 22. Would it be possible to have it enabled in the normal kernel builds? I found a bugzilla ticket[1] referenced in the kernel config[2] that points to some installation issues in Fedora 20. I can't tell if the bug was within dell_rbu or perhaps in systemd-udevd from the ticket. However, I've had success loading the module on various Dell equipment over the last 18 months or so. If we enable it, could we ensure that it's not enabled by default? I wondered if a kernel subpackage would be helpful but that seems a bit like overkill. Thanks!

NumaChip APIC support
by Daniel J Blueman 07 Oct '15

Hi Fedora kernel team, What possibility is there of enabling CONFIG_X86_NUMACHIP in the Fedora kernel, given it's been enabled in the CentOS Plus and Ubuntu kernels for a few years now? This will allow booting Fedora on large-SMP NumaConnect systems and make Fedora a useful choice. Many thanks! Daniel -- Daniel J Blueman
