[Bug 671097] Re: update-grub needs to ignore linux-ec2 kernels
Apparently pygrub supports reading grub2 config files (/boot/grub/grub.cfg). This patch would affect that scenario if the user were using pygrub with grub2 support to load the linux-ec2 kernel in an Ubuntu guest. After installing the updated grub-pc, the linux-ec2 kernels would no longer be listed in /boot/grub/grub.cfg, and would then not be seen by pygrub. Again, I think this is likely a very small use case if any. More than likely people are not using linux-ec2 kernel and pygrub in xen domU. -- update-grub needs to ignore linux-ec2 kernels https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/671097 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 671097] Re: update-grub needs to ignore linux-ec2 kernels
** Description changed: Binary package hint: grub2 I'm investigating backporting support for guest managed kernels into 10.04 guest UEC images. Doing so would allow 10.04 guest images that were running on EC2 and 10.10 UEC hosts to run 'apt-get dist-upgrade reboot' and boot into their new kernel. Currently, the 10.04 guests cannot manage their own kernel under either UEC or EC2. The solution in place for 10.10 is to use grub-pc to load the kernel on UEC and legacy-grub-ec2 to load the kernel on EC2. That same solution will almost work for 10.04. The one point of failure is that 10.04 images have 2 kernels in them (linux-ec2 and linux- virtual). Currently the linux-ec2 kernel is 2.6.32.309.10 and linux- virtual is 2.6.32.25.27. That would mean that when update-grub runs, it will choose the linux-ec2 kernel as the newest, and, on reboot, the guest would reboot into that -ec2 kernel on UEC. To avoid that, we need to have update-grub explicitly ignore the -ec2 kernel. I had a discussion on this solution with cjwatson at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2010/11/03/%23ubuntu-devel.html . The key point of that discussion is that it will *never* be useful for the -ec2 kernel to be loaded by grub-pc. the only possible case that would occur is the future development of a grub2 based xen pv-grub. One other bit of information, is that the upgrade path from lucid to maverick is preserved. The maverick based grub-pc do not exclude the linux-ec2, but do not need to. Maverick does not include a linux-ec2 kernel (well, it is in the archive, but not updated). Thus, when a do- release-upgrade from lucid-maverick would occur, there will be a -virtual kernel installed that will appear to maverick's grub-pc to be newest. It would be selected, and all future upgrades would have -virtual kernels that were newer than -ec2 kernel.

[Bug 671097] Re: update-grub needs to ignore linux-ec2 kernels
There is one scenario where this could cause regression. If xen is being used as a hypervisor and pygrub being used to load kernels, and linux-ec2 being used as a general purpose xen guest kernel. linux-ec2 is not intended to be a general purpose guest kernel, but it could be being used by some parties in that manner. If deemed necessary, I could modify the above logic to allow a config file (or debconf seed) to specify a list of blacklisted strings. I could then write that config/seed in the building of the uec images, so they would blacklist *-ec2. -- update-grub needs to ignore linux-ec2 kernels https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/671097 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
