retitle 502123 xen-utils-unstable: Debian patch breaks paravirtualized guest initrd thanks
I see that this bug is still present in pkg-xen svn: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-xen/trunk/xen-unstable/debian/patches/tools-python-xen-xm-relative-path.diff?op=file Perhaps I wasn’t clear how severe this problem is. Using the current Debianized xen-utils-unstable, it is impossible to boot any paravirtualized guest that has an initrd (which is basically all paravirtualized guests), because the erroneous debian/patches/tools-python-xen-xm-relative-path.diff causes the path to the ramdisk to be replaced with the path to the kernel: - config_image.append([ 'ramdisk', os.path.abspath(vals.ramdisk) ]) + config_image.append([ 'ramdisk', abspath(vals.kernel, 'boot') ]) This is a very bad regression over xen-utils-3.2, and an obvious typo with an easy and well-tested fix. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
