Description Bill Peck 2013-11-12 22:13:16 UTC

Description of problem:

Running efibootmgr on a RHEL5 ia64/HVM guest will fail, and that appears to cause anaconda to crash.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.14.2

How reproducible:
Everytime

Steps to Reproduce:
1. submit a job with rhel5 ia64/HVM recipe.
2.
3.

Actual results:
+ /usr/sbin/efibootmgr -o FFFF,0000

boot entry FFFF does not exist

(and no more %post is executed)

Actually it looks like it causes the Xen domain to crash completely:

[2013-11-12 18:19:10 xend.XendDomainInfo 3107] WARNING (XendDomainInfo:1262) Domain has crashed: name=ia64_xen_hvm id=1.

but my Xen skills are pretty weak so I have not yet figured out anything more than that.

We can easily enough skip the efibootmgr snippet for guest recipes, which should work around this problem.

Comment 6 Nick Coghlan 2013-11-21 01:17:11 UTC

Retitled and added to 0.14.4 - +1 for just skipping the snippet in guest recipes, since we only need it for bare metal provisioning.
