similar to: [REPOST] Use grub entries to find Linux kernels

This is a partial fix for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=526717 Rich. -- Richard Jones, Emerging Technologies, Red Hat http://et.redhat.com/~rjones libguestfs lets you edit virtual machines.

This change adds grub parsing to Lib.pm. It adds the following structure to $os: {boot} ->{configs} ->[0] ->{title} = "Fedora (2.6.29.6-213.fc11.i686.PAE)" ->{kernel} = \kernel ->{cmdline} = "ro root=/dev/mapper/vg_mbooth-lv_root rhgb" ->{initrd} = \initrd ->{default} = 0 The kernel and initrd entries are just

This is a new conversion module to convert SUSE Linux and openSUSE guests. The converter is based on the RedHat module, and should offer the same functionality on both SUSE and RedHat hosts. There are a few additional messages in this module, such as reporting of packages when installing through zypper or the local virt-v2v repo. These messages don't necessarily flow unless verbose switches

This change is part of an ongoing effort to remove use of $desc and inspect the OS directly as required during conversion. --- lib/Sys/VirtConvert/Connection/LibVirtTarget.pm | 4 +- lib/Sys/VirtConvert/Connection/RHEVTarget.pm | 41 +++++++++--------- lib/Sys/VirtConvert/Converter.pm | 35 ++++++++++++---- lib/Sys/VirtConvert/Converter/RedHat.pm | 45

I was slightly too quick off the marks with the first patch. This updated patch modifies all of virt-inspector's output types to take account of distrofamily.

This is a sort of follow-up to the Linux_bootloaders patch. It turns out all the kernel detection code is nicely self- contained and can therefore be moved to its own module. Rich.

Paths in grub.conf are relative to the filesystem containing it. grub parsing currently assumes that it is on /boot, and will fail if it isn't, for example because a guest only has a single partition. This patch makes grub parsing work harder to work out what grub paths are relative to. Firstly, it looks for a previous detected 'linux-grub' filesystem. If this isn't found, it

Kernel modules can be also symlinks to files available outside the "canonical" module directory; since `file` by default does not deference symlinks, passing directly symlinks to the architecture detection results in errors, as the "file" API does not recognize "symbolic link" as architecture. To prevent this situation, canonicalize the path of the module picked for

Create an object hierarchy to represent different bootloaders for Linux guests, moving the separate handling of grub1 and grub2 in different classes: this isolates the code for each type of bootloader together, instead of scattering it all around. This is mostly code refactoring, with no actual behaviour change. --- po/POTFILES-ml | 1 + v2v/Makefile.am | 2 + v2v/bootloaders.ml

Try to look for a well known kernel module (so far only virtio, or kvm) to use for detecting the architecture of a kernel. This way, we can avoid picking 3rd party modules that cause troubles. --- v2v/linux_kernels.ml | 30 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 27 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/v2v/linux_kernels.ml b/v2v/linux_kernels.ml index 3313aabc7..f1b9bdd97 100644

Can you take a look and let me know if

I am trying to take a CentOS 7 img and get hyperv to boot. First step. qemu-img convert "CentOS7.img" -O vhdx -o subformat=dynamic "CentOS7.vhdx" after adding new hyper-v I get dracut-timeout... So doing some searching it says add hv_vmbus hv_netvsc hv_storvsc to INITRD_MODULES. which doesnt really exist any more in CentOS 7. I did find /etc/dracut.conf and add_drivers... I

This patch series includes a repost of Milan's unmodified RHN support patch because I haven't pushed it yet. On top of that patch, it includes the capabilities patch in as many bits as I could make it into. The big one is 7/8. I've tested all of the following guests both with and without RHN registration: Xen RHEL 54 PV Xen RHEL 51 PV Xen RHEL 48 PV ESX RHEL 54 FV

Hello, Any one know how to enable Fiber Channel QLOGIC driver for xen kernel? This driver is available in CentOS4.3 as default. But when i compile xen-3.0.2-2 with linux-2.6.16 or xen-3.0.1with linux-2.6.12, the driver is not there. I tried to turn on QLOGIC by using "make menuconfig" and modified .config file but there is no change in /lib/modules/2.6.x-xen/kernel/drivers/scsi after
