On my modified 4.5.0-rc6 I do see 4 nics but the fourth is bogus as the hwaddr is nothing like and I can't physically test at the mo. I don't think there is support yet for the second 10Gb nic.
So mainline 4.5.0 works without needing extra patches?
Yes.
What config did you use? The one from the CentOS kernel (with make oldconfig or similar)?
Yes, I started with the original config, accepting all defaults, then made the changes I neeeded/wanted.
I take it 4.1.x (most recent LT) is out of the question.
I doubt it's 'out of the question'.
So I just looked at the CentOS git here: https://git.centos.org/summary/rpms!kernel-aarch64
The SPEC file shows: %define rpmversion 4.2.0 %define pkgrelease 0.21.el7
But: $ rpm -qa | grep kernel-4 kernel-4.2.0-0.26.el7.1.aarch64 $ uname -r 4.2.0-0.26.el7.1.aarch64
So where is the branch containing the latest 4.2.0-0.26.el7?
Also, I only see one patch: linux-kernel-test.patch
Is that really it? No special patches required to make the X-Gene work fully?
Another thing to consider is that 4.2.x is long EOL-ed (4.3.x is also EOL-ed now).
Michael, did you build your 4.5.x kernel as an rpm or standalone? Are there any special steps required other than "make all", copying the DTBs to /boot/dtb-<kernel version> and dracut-ing a new initrd?
