WIP: Update kernel to 6.6

Open nirs opened this issue 6 months ago • 3 comments

Update kernel to longterm kernel 6.6.92.

Improve the makefile to make it easier to work on the iso.

Upgrading the kernel to 6.6 does not work since some configuration is missing, so I started with default kernel configuration.

The next steps:

  • removing more configs that we don't need
  • add configs that we need from the previous config
  • enable virtio-gpu
  • update kernel to 6.6.93
  • cleanup commits
  • document the changes required on top of the default kernel configuration to make the next update easier

Status:

  • arm64:
    • qemu, vfkit, krunkit can boot with --no-kubernetes
    • booting with Kubernetes fails in the preflight step since we are missing some configs
    • virtio-gpu not enabled yet
  • x86_64:
    • not tested yet

Hi @nirs. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kubernetes member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Instructions for interacting with me using PR comments are available here. If you have questions or suggestions related to my behavior, please file an issue against the kubernetes-sigs/prow repository.

@afbjorklund this is very early but you may want to review and suggest how we should do this in a better way.
