[opensuse-virtual] workaround for mkinitrd bug?
by Michael J Dur 18 Dec '14

I'm unable to boot my guest with nfs root. I've compiled the kernel w/ nfs root. On boot it complains of no such device /dev/nfs I can see inside the initrd the fstab lists /dev/nfs I think I'm hitting hitting this bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=861218 They mention mkinitrd is dead, and I certainly generated the initrd parked on the dom0 with something like: mkinitrd -k vmlinuz-version-xen-nfsroot -i initrd-version-xen-nfsroot -f nfs The server is fully patched, is there a preferred work around for this? Should I be using something other than initrd w/ xen on opensuse 13.1? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-virtual] xen/desktop/default kernel shenanigans
by Michael J Dur 17 Dec '14

17 Dec '14

I'm messing with xen in OpenSuSE 13.1 on a Dell R220. An install from disc selecting xen server failed to produce a bootable system. I got it working by installing a minimal server, then installing the xen-server pattern via zypper. I set the xen kernel as the default reboot and voilà, dom0 here we are. Now I'd like for the xen kernel to be the only option on the system. If I uninstall kernel-default, and zypper installs kernel-desktop. If I uninstall kernel-desktop zypper installs kernel-default. Is there something that says I can't just have the kernel-xen which I'm using? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-virtual] handling of up/down events from brdige interfaces for KVM and Xen
by Olaf Hering 11 Dec '14

I'm about to remove /etc/sysconfig/network/if-up.d/xen which is supposed to collect vif* and tap* interfaces connected to a bridge interface. Right now it runs only when xend is running, and today wicked will not call such scripts anyway. I wonder how KVM deals with disappearing bridges? In the end any replacement script can very well handle KVM, Xen and whatever host type is in use. So a Xen specific tool is not required.
