[CentOS] Pulling in broadwell support for cent6u5
Hello, all. Hope all is well Is it possible to install kernel and support files from 6u7 into a base 6u5 image to achieve full broadwell support in 6u5? We are "locked", clearly not fully since willing to up jump kernels, on 6u5. Thanks for any and all help ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] Pulling in broadwell support for cent6u5
Thanks much for the the reply! Some sec updates/bug fixes have been applied thru the run of 6u5 and after, but yes, still firmly in 6u5 land. Guess will have to test. Broadwell cpus do run in the OS, but "6u5" is stated as not supporting 26XXv4 chipsets. regards On Wed, Jun 15, 2016 at 4:56 PM, John R Pierce wrote: > On 6/15/2016 2:48 PM, jsl6uy js16uy wrote: > >> Hello, all.

[CentOS] mirror for debug_info repo
Hello all hope all is well. We pull down via rsync from a Centos mirror for general updates/os/etc. I don't see a mirror for debuginfo.centos.org::centos-debuginfo well debuginfo.centos.org. The banner for the site states you should only use this site if you plan to be a public mirror. I have not checked every site on the centos mirror list, checked 10 to 15 in the US, but the only one I found that even had a folder for a debug_info sync stated: "due to size this has been moved to debuginfo.centos.org" I am only syncing debuginfo.centos.org::centos-debuginfo/7/x86_64 and i386. Should I pull from here? Is there a better place? Just trying to do the right thing net/netizen resource usage wise Any help/guidance appreciated thanks all ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] centos 7 and nvme
Hello all, and hope all is well Has anyone installed / on an nvme ssd for Cent 7? Would anyone know if that is supported? I have installed using Arch Linux, but at the time, mid last year, had to patch grub to recognize nvme. Arch is obviously running a much more recent kernel. Not afraid todo some empirical leg work. Just asking if anyone had tried already thanks all for any/all help regards ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] centos 7 and nvme
Sweet! Thanks much for the update sir! We are locked on a ver, ver == repo/pkg time slice, within the Cent7u2 release run, but this could be a reason to push the pointer forward in our infra I can live with those headaches Thanks again Will report back if we do anything above normal tweaking On Wed, Apr 19, 2017 at 4:23 PM, Jonathan Billings wrote: > On Apr 19, 2017, at 4:25 PM, jsl6uy js16uy wrote: > > Hello all, and hope all is well > > Has anyone installed / on an nvme ssd for Cent 7?
