Re: [Libguestfs] [PATCH p2v 1/2] make-disk: Don't upgrade the kernel to avoid kernel command line bug

There is some bug in recent Fedora which prevents the kernel from being upgraded correctly from libguestfs. As an example of what happens and how to reproduce it see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1945835#c24 This problem causes the kernel command line to be messed up (including bits of the libguestfs appliance /proc/cmdline), and this prevents virt-p2v from finding the root filesystem. This patch is just a workaround for this bug. By preventing the kernel* package from being upgraded we continue to use the working kernel from the template. Userspace packages in the template get updated as before. --- virt-p2v-make-disk.in | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/virt-p2v-make-disk.in b/virt-p2v-make-disk.in index 132211d..ac477eb 100644 --- a/virt-p2v-make-disk.in +++ b/virt-p2v-make-disk.in @@ -243,7 +243,7 @@ virt-builder "$osversion" \ $preinstall_args \ --hostname p2v.local \ --run-command 'hostname p2v.local' \ - --update \ + --run-command 'dnf -y update --exclude=kernel\*' \ --install "$install" \ --root-password password:p2v \ --upload "$datadir"/issue:/etc/issue \
