Title:
Broken dependency for xen-blkfront and xen-netfront
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
When running in a xen domU the modules xen-blkfront and xen-netfront
(for access to virtual block and net devices) require the Xen
"platform-pci" module to be loaded (or compiled into the kernel), but
this is not build into standard/install initramfs in Natty. The
modules can be loaded, but do not detect any devices due to the lack
of platform-pci.
A workaround (on an already running system) is to add platform-pci to
/etc/initramfs-tools/modules, but the lack of the module in the
install image prevents an installation in the first place. (Tested
with Natty Alpha1 and Alpha2)
Additional details are available here:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.xen.devel/96569
(This only applies to Natty and possibly backports, as this is only
used for "PV-on-HVM" feature which was introduced in 2.6.37)
