2009-12-09 19:19:57 Scott Moser description -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 In working on the ec2/uec ramdisk-less boot [1] I recently verified that the -virtual kernel has sufficient disk drivers to boot on hardware presented by UEC. I'd like to request that we have driver support built in to -virtual for the other reasonable kvm interfaces. kvm man page shows the following as options for '-drive if=': ide, scsi, sd, mtd, floppy, pflash, virtio. I quickly tested vmlinuz-2.6.32-7-server kernel for amd64 and found: - - [X] kvm if=ide (this is the same as '-hda <file>') - - [ ] kvm if=scsi (used by eucalyptus) - - [ ] kvm if=sd - - [ ] kvm if=mtd - - [ ] kvm if=floppy - - [ ] kvm if=pflash - - [ ] kvm if=virtio The 'X' marks success. I previously believed 'scsi' to have worked, but couldn't get it to function today. Of the list above, the ones that I think are 'reasonable' or relavant are: ide scsi virtio To test, I had disk.img.dist as a root filesystem that would boot. Then: $ qemu-img create -f qcow2 -b disk.img.dist disk.img $ kvm -drive file=disk.img,bus=0,index=0,if=${iface} \ -kernel lucid-uec-amd64-vmlinuz-virtual \ -append "quiet nosplash single" Note: I'm not certain on the correctness of 'bus=0,index=0' or effectiveness for all drivers. - -- [1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerLucidCloudKernelRamdisk affects ubuntu/linux assignee jjohansen importance low subscribe smoser subscribe kirkland -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAksfyksACgkQDZzbdwr3wEc1TwCfUuCctW1QwCv9IlpIIRO48aWE 9uAAoI0ehIkghJSqvP02m296e0nMPAgO =O7db -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 In working on the ec2/uec ramdisk-less boot [1] I recently verified that the -virtual kernel has sufficient disk drivers to boot on hardware presented by UEC.
