Hi, I’m facing some problem trying to install some software in an image with virt-customize. The package I’m trying to install uses some script to check dependencies and verifies the linux-headers-4.xxxxx are installed in the guest system. The problem is that it uses the ‘uname –r’ command to obtain the kernel version, and that command seems to be replying with the host kernel version instead

You can use a different kernel by setting SUPERMIN_* environment variables: http://libguestfs.org/supermin.1.html#USING-A-CUSTOM-KERNEL-AND-KERNEL-MODULES http://libguestfs.org/guestfs-faq.1.html#how-can-i-compile-and-install-libguestfs-if-my-distro-doesnt-have-new-enough-qemu-supermin-kernel In theory you could extract the kernel from the disk im...

Move the handling of the SUPERMIN_* envvars, and the kernel copy/symlink out of find_kernel to build_kernel: this way find_kernel does only the search. Also, the modules path search is done in by find_kernel as well. This is mostly code motion, with no behaviour changes. --- src/kernel.ml | 89 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------...

This patch series fixes several problems in the way that supermin handles kernels. The most pressing problem is that supermin doesn't handle bogus vmlinuz files which aren't actual kernels. Along the way there is a lot of clean up. The patches look much better if you view them with ‘-w’. This series will require plenty of time to be tested in Fedora, especially on non-x86 arches.

Joseph, Please try my modified versions of these patches. These are compile-tested on Fedora and they don't break any existing functionality, but I don't have either urpmi nor a statically-linked xz so I cannot fully test them. I have also fixed detection of zlib (2/3). Rich.
