Oh you wrote cosmic (probably because the initial request was on bionic), well not too bad to have the answer for both. Thanks @xnox for spotting my initial misreading of the release. So for cosmic it would be: - qemu 3.0 to Cosmic - Well beyond FF, no - SRU-ing qemu 3.0 to Cosmic - obviously not

I intend to test the new netboot image on the qemu that we have, so knowing if it has to be Bionic (2.11) or can be Cosmic (2.12) makes a difference. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/17909

There was no obvious obstacle that came to our mind blocking the new netboot image to be used on the older qemu. If working Maas could package that as a helper for s390x until later versions (>=DD) would provide their own one. Next: I need to give this a try at some point to check if it is working

Hi, this would not only require a backport that seems hard (plenty of other cleanups/fixes to pc-bios/s390-ccw) but doable eventually with some extra work. That part of it would be SRUable if we want to spend all the effort as it only fixes/improves the s390x netboot capabilities. The initial ne

I'm checking with the Authors if we could just provide the lates netboot image and use it with the older qemu 2.11 (s390x-netboot as extra pkg in backports maybe). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.

** Description changed: QEMU 3.0 has recently released with support for pxelinux style network booting from s390x. As part of the MAAS roadmap, we have an item to enable s390x as a supported architecture for deployment of KVM image. Since QEMU now includes that support upstream, we wo
