By default the installer will set the hostname to what the DHCP returns, exposing details of the machine where make-template.ml runs. Instead, force "unassigned-hostname.unassigned-domain" as hostname, so plays nicely with the hostname setting code in virt-customize. --- builder/templates/debian.preseed | 2 +- builder/templates/ubuntu.preseed | 5 +++++ 2 files changed, 6

RFC v2 of this series This series implements a basic test job for OVMF guest. The test case will install an OVMF guest and try to boot it. It is also possible to derive a debian HVM installation test case from ts-ovmf-debian-install - the only difference should be the BIOS option. I tested running the test script without specifying BIOS, it worked fine. I just didn''t figure out a

I''ve been working on this on the odd occasion, I think it mostly works, or it did last I tried which was a while back. I''m sure it is too hacky in places. My plan was to clean it up on the next test day. I''m mostly just sending this for Wei''s benefit since he is independently looking at adding Debian HVM guest tests for OVMF purposes. Ian. commit

Hi, this series improves the generation of Debian templates, automating basically almost all the steps needed. Also, it fixes the generation of aarch64 images with NVRAM, which is currently removed too soon, and thus not saved and compressed. Thanks, Pino Toscano (5): builder: templates: update Debian preseed from Stretch builder: templates: generalize debian location builder: templates:

Hi, I'm using PXELINUX and I'm getting "Out of memory parsing config file" when network booting. I have a lot of entries in my default file under pxelinux.cfg and if I delete some entries the error disapear. Is there a limit for number of entries? How can I increase them? My entries are like these: DISPLAY boot.txt LABEL debian-Debian6.0.6-amd64 ??? kernel

I am trying to come up with a 'clever' way to pxe-boot boxes that don't have any way to pxe boot. as in, old laptops that only have pc-mica nics. "Etherboot does not (yet) offer support for PCMCIA cards." http://www.etherboot.org/wiki/pcmcia_support I am not trying to do 'that' - just trying to come up with a process to work around it. Something like this:

I found the 3Com one, but I'm looking for the intel one. The PXE PDK doesn't have it anymore, and the intel site points me to the proboot.exe archive, which has no *.dos files in it. Does anyone know of other generic drivers for dos that work with memdisk's keeppxe option?

Hi! sorry for the top post. I have had some troubles in the past trying to make equipment to boot a floppy with MS-DOS that also used ms networking to access the network. Particularly the Gateway GSX 500 cannot have the onboard NIC with PXE enabled, as it eats about 92k of highmemory, which in turn makes impossible to start Windows XP setup due to low memory. On that particular machine I had

22:06 < adam12> rwmjones: If you're still around, just curious - any reason why the ubuntu14 image doesn't come with `dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server` already configured for firstboot? The reason is because I couldn't work out how to automate this in the preseed script. If you want to have a go, then see:

Hello. Hope you can help me further. I can vaguely remember that once I saw a reference how to preconfigure debconf in puppet manifests. So you can define answers in debconf inside of manifests. No idea where anymore. Anybody knows? greetinx Christo

We have found it useful to be able to set the linkspeed and duplex settings from the host-side for virtio_net. This obviates the need for guest changes and settings for these fields, and does not require custom ethtool commands for virtio_net. The ability to set linkspeed and duplex is useful in various cases as described here: 16032be virtio_net: add ethtool support for set and get of settings

Hello, I am trying to do a non-interactive installation on a system with only a serial port console. The serial port only piece is working and most of the questions are pre-seeded (answered). However, I can't seem to figure out what the question codes are for these last seven. :( ``debconf-get-selections'' did not print anything out that I can correlate with these questions. Where

Hi, I would like to set the puppet labs repository on my preseed ubuntu file.

I was attempting one way to solve: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1400332 "RFE: virt-builder should support templates with encrypted filesystems" However this approach doesn't really work because templates containing encrypted partitions cannot be compressed, and therefore the guest template would be a multi-gigabyte download. I better approach will likely be to use
