Andrey Drobyshev (1): convert_windows: add firstboot script to install drivers with pnputil convert/convert_windows.ml | 16 ++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) -- 2.31.1

I've been experiencing problem with the drivers not always being installed. This patch merely implements the solution offered by Richard in the commit 73e009c04 ("v2v: windows: Document use of pnputil to install drivers."). The solution wasn't implemented back then, but rather added merely as a comment. Thus I wonder is there some issues which it may cause? The most obvious

While messing around this script, I added one more tiny patch making wait-pnp log its output into the common log.txt file, as suggested by Richard here: https://listman.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2023-March/031023.html Discussion on v3: https://listman.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2023-March/031070.html v3 -> v4: * Remove unneeded line break from the script; * Add another small

Wait for driver installations fired by the PnP manager to complete before running firstboot scripts. The first patch is a minor refactoring to pave the way for the second patch. The latter contains the bulk of the changes as well as the description of the idea.

...virt-v2v and virt-p2v Conversions of Debian (6+) and Ubuntu (10.04+) guests are now supported (Tomáš Golembiovský, Pino Toscano). Conversions from SUSE Xen hypervisor have now been tested (Cédric Bosdonnat). Windows conversions may now install a program "pnp_wait.exe" which prevents conflicts between the Windows Plug-and-Play Manager and our own scripts that install virtio device drivers. Enabling this requires the "pnp_wait.exe" program to be built separately (Roman Kagan). OVA files exported from AWS can now be...
