similar to: [PATCH] v2v: linux: improve archtecture detection from modules (RHBZ#1690574)

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

Metapackages are valid packages with no files, used to easily install something without manually installing bits. This is the case of the "kernel" package in Fedora/RHEL/etc in the last couple of years. --- v2v/linux_kernels.ml | 1 - 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/v2v/linux_kernels.ml b/v2v/linux_kernels.ml index 9a41225a..78c1ee59 100644 --- a/v2v/linux_kernels.ml +++

We check for /boot/vmlinuz-* files in packages with files, and List.find will raise Not_found if there are none. Iterating on an empty list gives the same result, so there is no need to handle empty packages in a special way. --- v2v/linux_kernels.ml | 321 +++++++++++++++++++++---------------------- 1 file changed, 158 insertions(+), 163 deletions(-) diff --git a/v2v/linux_kernels.ml

Create a new module [Linux_kernels] which does all kernel detection, and also provides a place to define the kernel_info data structure. This is essentially just code motion. --- v2v/Makefile.am | 2 + v2v/convert_linux.ml | 219 +++-------------------------------------------- v2v/linux_kernels.ml | 230 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ v2v/linux_kernels.mli | 50

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.

Split the processing of the kernel packages in two phases: - filtering only (by name) - actual processing This makes the filtering part easier to review/modify, and it is now much easier to see (in the debug log) which packages are processed as kernel packages. There are no behaviour changes (other than an additional debug message). --- v2v/linux_kernels.ml | 20 +++++++++++++------- 1 file

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

The current detection code for Linux kernels assumes that a kernel package contains everything in it, i.e. the kernel itself, its modules, and its configuration. However, since recent Ubuntu versions (e.g. starting from 18.04) modules & config (with few more files) are split in an own package, thus not detecting the modpath from installed vmlinuz files. To overcome this situation, rework

This is a repost of the patch I sent on Friday. I know it was already ACK'd, but I've changed a fair bit in addition to adding the requested POD. Specifically: I discovered that augeas's grub lens wasn't returning cmdline the way I expected. This is fixed. The kernel package, if known, is output as a property of the kernel. The XML output of virt-inspector is updated with all

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

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2175703 Vera Wu's testing covered a backport of this series to the virt-v2v project's rhel-9.2 branch (on top of commit 86517b17be98), where the "detect_kernels" function is still unique/internal to the virt-v2v project. The backport / cherry-pick from libguestfs-common to virt-v2v cannot be automated, but it's not difficult; only

We want to detect if a Linux kernel is Xen PV only ("PV-only"). Such a kernel will not boot on KVM, and if a guest has only PV-only kernels, it will not be able to boot at all on the target. Our previous test was wrong. It tested whether the xennet.ko module exists. This module was renamed in more recent kernels (to xen-netfront.ko), so it happened to not detect modern kernels as
