Public bug reported: 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) ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/714184 Title: Broken dependency for xen-blkfront and xen-netfront -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
