Thanks Steffen for raising this and bringing this to our attention. That should obviously not have happen, kernel config changes should be propagated to all newer Ubuntu kernel version, until explicitly dropped or modified for any other reason. It looks like we hit a kind of a race condition here. While setting this option in jammy, the development of mantic just started and it was missed to enable it in the 'unstable' tree at that time. We are looking into it soon-ish. I believe that having a kernel in PPA to unblock you is not very helpful, since I think you need that kernel signed with the usual (prod.) signature/key (and not with a test/dev key coming from the PPA).
Since lunar will reach it's eol in less than 2 weeks, we'll ensure that the option is set in mantic onwards. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2048919 Title: [UBUNTU 23.04] Regression: Ubuntu 23.04/23.10 do not include uvdevice anymore Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems: New Status in linux package in Ubuntu: New Status in linux source package in Lunar: Won't Fix Status in linux source package in Mantic: New Status in linux source package in Noble: New Bug description: ---Problem Description--- Regression: uvdevice at /dev/uv not compiled into kernel Machine Type = IBM z15, IBM z16 Contact Information = steffen.ei...@ibm.com ---uname output--- Linux 6.5.0-14-generic #14-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 14 14:16:58 UTC 2023 s390x s390x s390x GNU/Linux ---Debugger--- A debugger is not configured ---Additional Hardware Info--- Secure Execution feature code enabled (optional) ---Steps to Reproduce--- # working/ old behavior on a fresh ubuntu 22.10 (and 22.04) LPAR/guest1 (with Secure execution available) > cat /dev/uv /dev/uv > cat /boot/config-$(uname -r) | grep UV_UAPI CONFIG_S390_UV_UAPI=y that's the expected state for Ubuntu. # current/ non expected behavior since Ubuntu 23.04 the following happens: stock kernel non-modified, latest available > cat /dev/uv cat: /dev/uv: No such file or directory COMMENT: this still can happen if the machine has no Secure Execution feature available However, the following should not be the case under any circumstances: > cat /boot/config-$(uname -r) | grep UV_UAPI # CONFIG_S390_UV_UAPI is not set Somehow that configuration got lost between 22.X and 23.X.
