I have added this in the /etc/xen/vm/lagrange domu definition:
xen_platform_pci=1
after this, the domu boots correctly but I am not sure why... Can you explain why after a security update on the kernel I should use this parameter to load correctly my domu?
Thanks
This is odd. xen_platform_pci=1 is already the default in the tools. The other odd thing about the guest is that it is using the emulated disk instead of the PV drivers. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

As a result emulated hardware is used. As a result of this yast adds /dev/disk/by-id/ symlinks provided by dom0 qemu. After an upgrade mkinitrd in the installed system will recognize that it runs in a Xen HVM guest and adds the xen PV drivers into the initrd. After a reboot these PV drivers provide /dev/hda instead of /dev/sda, and further they can not provide the /dev/disk/by-id symlinks from dom0 qemu. I will check how to handle that mess. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I can install 12.1 with emulated drivers, but during reboot the emulated hardware gets timeouts and IO errors. During install the pv drivers will not be added to the initrd, but the xen-kmp packages are installed. AFAIK there is no way to force a certain module into initrd during installation. As it stands, there is no way to install a 12.1 Xen HVM guest. Assigning to Steffen to make sure xen-kmp gets added back to installation-images.spec, and to make sure it remains there for the 12.2 Milestones, Betas, RCs and the Release. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

This package is not needed in openSuSE because the hyperv drivers are now all in mainline. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
