| jibel | cyphermox, hey, do you know a recent change that would trigger this question during a preseeded install with d-i ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/14478132/ | 14:53 |
|---|---|---|
| cyphermox | ah, nice | 14:54 |
| cyphermox | well, could be that I messed up a merge, didn't notice that one | 14:54 |
| jibel | cyphermox, it's the same preseeed we've been using for years for servers. would it be harmless to preseed this key or it's a real issue? | 14:54 |
| cyphermox | it's probably harmless to preseed | 14:54 |
| jibel | cyphermox, although on a manual installation there is no difference | 14:54 |
| cyphermox | but I think the intent in the past was to not have to, I'll need to check | 14:55 |
| cyphermox | could you file a bug? | 14:55 |
| jibel | cyphermox, will do | 14:56 |
| jibel | cyphermox, bug 1533243 | 15:04 |
| jibel | cyphermox, sorry I don't have more info, test artifacts are not attached to the result | 15:04 |
| cyphermox | thanks | 15:05 |
| cyphermox | no worries, that will be plenty I pretty much can just grep for that key and look again at my merge | 15:05 |
| infinity | xnox: Why did you add block-modules to generic/s390x.cfg? | 20:27 |
| infinity | xnox: "Add block-modules (depends on virtio-modules) for s390x" seems pointless with the kernel change to make those builtin. I think I'll revert that commit. | 20:29 |
| infinity | xnox: Or was there some other reason? | 20:30 |
| * infinity shrugs and leaves it there for now. | 20:31 | |
| xnox | infinity, so apw wanted to make it a module on all platforms, rather than changing it to =y on s390x. | 21:53 |
| xnox | infinity, so i made the change, just in case. The net difference now is adding nbd module to the installer. | 21:53 |
| xnox | infinity, i don't know if apw will revert it to a =m everywhere. If he does, we will need block-modules in all/most d-i flavours. | 21:54 |
| infinity | xnox: It should still be in virtio-modules anyway (if it's =m), I'd say it's a bug that it was in block-modules. | 21:54 |
| infinity | xnox: But this works for now, I won't be too picky (already uploaded your change). | 21:54 |
| xnox | ok. | 21:56 |
| xnox | infinity, let me point that virtio-blk was in the wrong package to apw. cause we were slightly dilusional about it. | 21:56 |
| xnox | infinity, the whole bug was i went to boot cloud images, and virtio-blk was not in the initramfs, and was only in the -extra image.... | 21:57 |
| infinity | xnox: Err, surely this was about virtio-net anyway? | 21:57 |
| xnox | anyway all good now. | 21:57 |
| infinity | xnox: virtio-blk shouldn't be needed to boot the installer, it should be fetched over the network. | 21:57 |
| xnox | virtio-net and virtio-blk. Both were =m in -extra package and in block/virtio-udebs split | 21:57 |
| xnox | and i do need virtio-net and virtio-blk in the cloud-images initramfs. | 21:57 |
| xnox | virtio-blk can be fetched over the network true, in the d-i case. | 21:58 |
| infinity | Right, moving them to -virtual (either in image or =y) is correct, and yes, you need them in the cloud-init initrd, but that has nothing to do with d-i. | 21:58 |
| infinity | So, we probably should revert your change before we forget this conversation. :P | 21:58 |
| xnox | right. and apw wants to drop them from =y -> =m everywhere, as otherwise they are always loaded, and never unloaded. | 21:59 |
| infinity | And then make sure the kernel debs/udebs are correct if they go =m | 21:59 |
| xnox | right. | 21:59 |
| xnox | let me copy the irc log into a bug with actions to be done. | 21:59 |
| infinity | I'm not convinced virtio-modules needs to exist at all, except maybe as a dep of block-modules and nic-modules, if it has some common bits. | 22:00 |
| infinity | virtio-net should be in nic- and virtio-blk should be in block-, the more I think about it. | 22:00 |
| infinity | There's nothing about those drivers that make them any more "special" than any other block or nic device. | 22:01 |
| xnox | there is virtio-scsi and virtio-something else. | 22:01 |
| xnox | in virtio-udebs. | 22:01 |
| xnox | but yeah vitio-nic should be in nic-modules | 22:01 |
| infinity | Ahh, virtio-rng in virtio-modules. I wonder if that could just live somewhere else like kernel-image. | 22:03 |
| infinity | Anyhow, if you file a master bug with an IRC dump, I can work it out with Andy, we have a big TODO of "stuff that sucks with the kernel" that we're working through. | 22:03 |
| xnox | &> #ubuntu-kernel | 22:04 |
