similar to: [PATCH] v2v: bootloaders: handle no default grubby kernel (RHBZ#1519204)

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

Hi, this series adds a couple bits more in v2v to convert Debian/Ubuntu (and derived) guests. The series does not complete the support (see known issues below), but all the patches here should be fit for review and inclusion. The series does not enable the conversion, yet. Known issues: * currently tested with simple local guest images, hence needs testing with real guests on

In SUSE guests, handle the case where Bootloader::Tools::GetDefaultSection () returns undef.

On Debian-based systems, Grub2 is in /boot/grub (as already known after commit 03b9f2b967c4c61a5acda6a3802317be109d213e), so make sure device.map is changed even in this situation. --- v2v/linux_bootloaders.ml | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/v2v/linux_bootloaders.ml b/v2v/linux_bootloaders.ml index 6582970..061d945 100644 --- a/v2v/linux_bootloaders.ml +++

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

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 +

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.

This is like the Perl chomp function, it removes a single \n from the end of a string if present, else leaves the string alone. I believe I found the only (two) places where such a function is used, but there may be a few more lurking. --- common/mlstdutils/std_utils.ml | 7 +++++++ common/mlstdutils/std_utils.mli | 2 ++ common/mlstdutils/std_utils_tests.ml | 10 ++++++++++
