Il 28/04/2014 12:41, Ian Campbell ha scritto: The following series adds a new flight type intended to test distro domU support, i.e. running distro installers and kernels on top of current Xen to ensure things work. I intend for the flight to be run on a weekly basis, and I've scheduled it here to run at the weekend when in theory things might be quieter. I've initially just done Debian PV domU support since Debian is what I know, but I hope others will add other distros as time goes on. The series introduces support for running the Debian Installer in a PV domU booting from netboot (PXE-ish) and netinst (ISO media) and adding jobs to test all of those for Squeeze onwards up to Sid and the daily/weekly builds. The flight is a bit unusual since distro installer builds are not really versioned in a way which is useful to osstest, so instead each flight will be compared against the previous run only (this stuff needs testing in production). The new Debian install functionality here also gives us the opportunity to test pygrub and pvgrub, so a couple of jobs are added to the regular tests using installer images versioned via TftpDiVersion in the usual way. This requires an early patch "mg-debian-installer-update: grab Xen PV domU capable images too" to go in and a patch to update TftpDiVersion to a refreshed version to be inserted before "Test pygrub and pvgrub on the regular flights" is committed. I've also pushed a branch, pull details at the end. v1 of this[0] wasn't really a proper posting, but calling this v2 to avoid any potential confusion. Ian. Thanks for adding also these very useful tests, currently I use nearly always debian on pv domUs. Briefly looking at your patches it seems that you use pygrub also for domUs installation, I use the installer kernel and initrd directly instead, for example: kernel = "/boot/domu/wheezy/vmlinuz" (from .../images/netboot/xen/) ramdisk = "/boot/domu/wheezy/initrd.gz" (from .../images/netboot/xen/) extra = ...Is there some "special" reason to install domUs starting with pygrub instead of directly? Since last year with recents grub2 of Sid the domUs don't boot anymore with pygrub and I use pvgrub2 instead, I haven't tried installation from pygrub instead of directly but perharps it has the same problem. Is pvgrub2 test now missing on osstest? Thanks for any reply.
