I'm currently using OMV 3 with 4.9 Kernel with a Intel Skylake CPU. I'm going to switch to Ryzen tomorrow and it require at least Kernel 4.10 to work properly with ECC.
Is there any way to compile or upgrade to the 4.10 Kernel even if its not in the jessie-backports?
It is debian so should work. Just google how to do it on debian. Don't remove all the older kernels just in case. Good luck
So just download the latest stable 4.11.6 (atm) from https://www.kernel.org/ and compile it and everything should works fine?
OMV uses a stock debian kernel so it should work. Have not done it in a few years tho. The kernel config file should be available on the machine. If not find it online or maybe install the kernel source.
Hey,
I got the kernel compiled and working but I've one issue. I need to merge/install the VirtualBox Modules into the Kernel Source but can't find any tutorials for this.
Here is what I've done so far:
cd /usr/src/
wget https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/linux-4.11.7.tar.xz
tar xf linux-4.11.7.tar.xz
cd linux-4.11.7
cp /boot/config-`uname -r` .config #copy old kernel config
yes "" | make oldconfig #update config to new kernel and use recommended settings for new entries
make prepare scripts
#add SPL
cd /usr/src/
wget https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/releases/download/zfs-0.6.5.10/spl-0.6.5.10.tar.gz
tar xf spl-0.6.5.10.tar.gz
cd spl-0.6.5.10
./configure \
--prefix=/ \
--libdir=/lib \
--includedir=/usr/include \
--datarootdir=/usr/share \
--enable-linux-builtin=yes \
--with-linux=/usr/src/linux-4.11.7 \
--with-linux-obj=//usr/src/linux-4.11.7
./copy-builtin /usr/src/linux-4.11.7
make
make install
#add ZFS
cd /usr/src/
wget https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/releases/download/zfs-0.6.5.10/zfs-0.6.5.10.tar.gz
tar xf zfs-0.6.5.10.tar.gz
cd zfs-0.6.5.10
./configure \
--prefix=/ \
--libdir=/lib \
--includedir=/usr/include \
--datarootdir=/usr/share \
--enable-linux-builtin=yes \
--with-linux=/usr/src/linux-4.11.7 \
--with-linux-obj=/usr/src/linux-4.11.7 \
--with-spl=/usr/src/spl-0.6.5.10
--with-spl-obj=/usr/src/spl-0.6.5.10
./copy-builtin /usr/src/linux-4.11.7
make
make install
#enable ZFS and SPL
cd /usr/src/linux-4.11.7
make menuconfig
#
# NOW ENABLE SPL and ZFS (Category Filesystem)
#
#
# ADD VirtualBox Somehow???
#
#Compile
make -j16 deb-pkg LOCALVERSION=-custom KDEB_PKGVERSION=1
make KBUILD_SRC=
#Install
cd /usr/src/
dpkg -i linux-image-4.11.7-custom_1_amd64.deb
dpkg -i linux-headers-4.11.7-custom_1_amd64.deb
I used this tutorial to add ZFS and SPL to the kernel https://www.linuxquestions.org…-linux-kernel-4175514510/ but I can't find any way to do it with VirtualBox. Might be cool if somebody can help me.
Welcome to the bleeding edge. Nice to see amd innovating again. Does the new kernel get ecc working? I assume it does. I don't use virtualbox so I am not familiar with it. Or what version is installed by the plugin. I would look at this. VirtualBox Backport DKMS should build whatever modules you need. You may need to tweak it to use the source instead of headers. Not sure about that. DKMS may also handle zfs. Making future kernel updates easier.
Good luck
Virtualbox needs headers in the right location to match the kernel version. You have the headers installed since you compiled the kernel but you need to put them in the debian location. Look at where the other headers are.
Thanks for the help.
I tried to install the headers with dpkg-reconfigure virtualbox-dkms but it failed - probably not compatible with 4.11. I'll try the link from @donh when I'm home on the weekend. Don't want to touch the kernel without having physical access to the Box.
@donh ECC seems to work fine - even with 4.9 as far as I can tell. If you are interested: Ryzen 7 1700 (8x3Ghz) with 2x16GB DDR4 (KVR24E17D8/16) on a ASUS Prime X370-Pro.
