Public bug reported: For example with bionic, i40evf module is in linux-modules- extra-4.15*-generic. However, cloudimg doesn't have linux-modules-extra seeded:

Otherwise, the guest is unusable with no network device. $ apt show linux-modules-extra-4.15.0-58-generic |& grep Installed-Size Installed-Size: 171 MB $ du -h /lib/modules/4.15.0-58-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40evf/i40evf.ko 148K /lib/modules/4.15.0-58-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40evf/i40evf.ko ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: livecd-rootfs (not installed) ProcVersionSignature: User Name 4.15.0-58.64-generic 4.15.18 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-58-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.7 Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu Oct 17 10:48:41 2019 ProcEnviron: TERM=screen-256color PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=C.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: livecd-rootfs UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Affects: livecd-rootfs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug bionic cpe-onsite uec-images ** Also 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/1848481 Title: cloudimg: no i40evf module is available so no network available with SR-IOV enabled cloud To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1848481/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
