From: Pavel Butsykin <pbutsykin@virtuozzo.com> This patch improves the search of grub config on EFI partition. This means that the config will be found not only for rhel but also for many other distributions. Tests were performed on the following distributions: centos, fedora, ubuntu, suse. In all cases, the config path was /boot/efi/EFI/*distname*/grub.cfg The main purpose of the patch

Not all UEFI guests can survive conversion, because of lost bootloader information in UEFI NVRAM. But some guest can cope with this because they have a fallback bootloader and use UEFI Removable Media Boot Behavior. (see https://uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/UEFI_Spec_2_8_A_Feb14.pdf 3.5.1.1 Removable Media Boot Behavior) to load. If UEFI firmware can't find a bootloader in its

This patch improves the search of grub config on EFI partition. This means that the config will be found not only for rhel but also for many other distributions. Tests were performed on the following distributions: centos, fedora, ubuntu, suse. In all cases, the config path was /boot/efi/EFI/*distname*/grub.cfg The main purpose of the patch is to improve support for converting of vm with UEFI

Augeas 1.7.0 was released a couple of days ago. By encouraging everyone to upgrade to this we can drop several calls to aug_transform and also our custom copies of two lenses, and a lot of related code. Rich.

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 +

Create an object hierarchy to represent different bootloaders for Linux guests, moving the separate handling of grub1 and grub2 in different classes. This will allow us to support more bootloaders in the future.

Detect only once which method must be used to get and set the default Grub2 kernel in the guest: this avoids the same checks in list_kernels and set_default_kernel. Also, add a "no method" option as well: Debian/Ubuntu guests do not have neither grubby nor Perl's Bootloader::Tools, so there is no way to know what is the default kernel, nor to change it. In this case, add a warning

v2: Rich, I hope I've done all modifications according to your comments, namely: * moved the code from linux_bootloaders to convert_linux * made minor code modifications --- Not all UEFI guests can survive conversion, because of lost bootloader information in UEFI NVRAM. But some guest can cope with this because they have a fallback bootloader and use UEFI Removable Media Boot
