Public bug reported: For maverick UEC images, there will be 2 "kernels" shipped a.) linux kernel (as copied from inside image /boot) b.) grub boot loader. This is so that a guest can service its own kernel ([1])
Due to a bug in kvm on 10.04 (bug 598649) we will not be able to boot grub images when the host is Lucid. However, on Maverick hosts, we will want to boot the grub kernel. What this means is that in one way or another, we will need for the image store proxy to register the grub kernel when the host is maverick, and the linux kernel when the host is lucid (or earlier). One possible work around with this is to populate the image store with 2 images and leave it up to the user to select the right one: - Ubuntu Maverick Image (for Maverick Hosts) - Ubuntu Maverick Image (for Lucid or older hosts) -- [1] https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/server-maverick-cloud-kernel-upgrades ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 Package: python-image-store-proxy 1.0.4-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: User Name 2.6.32-305.9-ec2 2.6.32.11+drm33.2 Uname: Linux 2.6.32-305-ec2 i686 Architecture: i386 Date: Mon Jul 19 13:38:18 2010 Ec2AMI: ami-e8f31881 Ec2AMIManifest: ubuntu-images-testing-us/ubuntu-maverick-daily-i386-server-20100718.manifest.xml Ec2AvailabilityZone: us-east-1c Ec2InstanceType: m1.small Ec2Kernel: aki-407d9529 Ec2Ramdisk: unavailable PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: image-store-proxy ** Affects: image-store-proxy (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 maverick uec-images -- image-store needs to select kernel to boot based on host release https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/607242 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to image-store-proxy in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
