Issue only happens when setting cpu dedicated CPUs on a running system. During the unlock, the openstack fails to re-apply. - LP: https://bugs.launchpad.net/starlingx/+bug/2002157 - Assigned to Thales; team has no bandwidth to look at this for the remaining of the month. Will reach out to the reporter to share this. - Status: No updates - Documenting Tested Hardware by the community - Brought Up by: Scott Kamp - The StarlingX documentation already has a limited list of certified hardware - A variety of hardware platform doesn't work with StarlingX. - This is due to the kernel options that are enabled, especially as it related to the rt kernel - Standard distributions like Ubuntu has everything enabled - One approach is to consider a mechanism to swap out the kernel - This is a big conversation. Requires TSC direction/guidance and likely significant effort/investment. - Conclusion: Put this as a topic on the PTG. Action: Ildiko - Status: Closed - Ildiko sent email to the community https://lists.starlingx.io/pipermail/starlingx-discuss/2023-February/013849.... - Topic added to the PTG by GregW - w/ Linda Wang & MarkA moderating - https://lists.starlingx.io/pipermail/starlingx-discuss/2023-February/013856....
