[Bug 1508565] Re: maas uses 3.13 (hwe-t) kernel which does not work on non-virtual IBM power
My suggested plan forward would be: a.) promote the 14.04:ppc64el:hwe-v to released for ppc64el I will need someone to test that and suggest its reasonable That can be done by using the daily stream and doing an install to a system marked as 'generic/hwe-v' b.) remove 14.04:ppc64el:hwe-t product from both daily and released streams. This exploits maas bug http://pad.lv/1508975 , but should end up making even existing users to just start getting hwe-v kernels for enlistment, commissioning, and default install. c.) document this ppc64el specific behavior in some external facing place this should i. describe why hwe-t/3.13 is not available for ppc64el. ii. describe how to use linux-generic (3.13/hwe-t) in a maas installed VM if desired. That looks something like: sudo apt-get install linux-generic # probably not necessary sudo apt-get --purge remove "linux-(image|headers)-(3.16.0|3.19.0|4.2.0)-.*" sudo apt-get autoremove sudo reboot iii. inform the user about hwe kernels and what their support path will be using their 'hwe-v', and subseqently hwe-w and then hwe-x kernels. probabably should point to [1] I can do 'a' and 'b' above, but I suggest that 'c' should be done first. I'm not sure what the appropriate place is for this documentation, and I'd be looking for Mike or Michael or Jeff to write it.

> Can a MaaS customer still get the hwe-t kernel through manual steps if desired? they could apt-get install it after the fact (same as for option 'b'). > What are consequences to support on hwe-u? Are they know forced up to 16.04 sooner (since hwe-u does not have lifetime of hwe-t)? Well, no. see [1], specifically the picture at [2]. An installed system would get updates on the installed 'linux-generic-lts-' kernel until August of 2016 (the release of 14.04.5). At that point, they no longer get kernel updates, but get a message that says "You should upgrade to linux-generic-lts-xeniel'.Also note, that your question really should say hwe-v. My testing showed that hwe-v would be selected if available, and we should make it availble in the released stream (as it is offiically released). > Or anyone wanting to recreate specific certification needs to know what the point in time kernel was... Cert has this general issue. We have no 'snapshot.ubuntu.com' (see http://snapshot.debian.org/ for reference), so there is actually no way to reproduce a point in time of ubuntu other than GA (because you can jsut disable -security and -updates to get GA only). Ie, as soon as you hit archive, you can only get updates.

Users who were happy with hwe-t (kvm guests) will need manual action Or anyone wanting to recreate specific certification needs to know what the point in time kernel was... That being said, it seems like this is a fairly short window. hwe-w is here, so we'll only move from hwe-w to hwe-x and then back to normal. And only affects P8, where the intersection of MaaS + KVM/P8 seems likely a low number of affected users. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to maas in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1508565 Title: maas uses 3.13 (hwe-t) kernel which does not work on non-virtual IBM power To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/maas/+bug/1508565/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
