[DC LoCo] Testing 12.04 LTS development branch on system with IOMMU and SR-IOV

[Ken Stailey]

After a day of work the system is running 12.04 but SR-IOV is not working.

But Red Hat supposedly supports it and there are spare disks in the system that can be used to bring up CentOS 6.2 to see if it is true or not.  If it works there it is definitely worth testing Yinghai Lu's manual-overide patches (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/790201/comments/9 for links to those patches.)

Hi,

I was finally give a new server with IOMMU and SR-IOV to test the 12.04 LTS development branch.  Let's just say I had to put some "oomph" behind the request.


This will be the first time we have ever tested an LTS development branch in our center.   I'll let you know how it goes.


Thanks,
Ken
