I successfully got the iomemory drivers working under 5.14.0 on the server where it was important (the one with the flash card and Intel ethernet).  I’ve turned on hardware offloading and so far it has run cleanly.  Assuming it is still clean tomorrow I plan on upgrading the remaining servers to the 5.14.0 kernel tomorrow.  This will involves some downtime for all services between 11pm – Midnight.

     It was a bit of a battle, for some reason the automatic DKMS installation and update-initramfs failed so I had to do everything by hand, but by hand it all worked.  I can’t find any explanation for the failure codes and it did not fail when I did the same steps the makefile did manually.  Gotta love stuff like this, kind of beginning to feel a lot like Windows.

     This will affect ALL services including https://friendica.eskimo.com/, https://hubzilla.eskimo.com/, and https://nextcloud.eskimo.com/.  E-mail coming in won’t be lost but will be delayed during this time.  Outgoing will be refused connection during this time.
