Description

This falls in with the general need for more finegrained distro metadata (RHEL5 doesn't cut it when we may need to distinguish between 5.0, 5.1, etc.) Current upstream has a 'Generic Virtio' option which is better than selecting Fedora10 but not the correct fix. Okay, --os-variant=virtio26 is good enough for this. Closing *** Bug 537707 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Even though it's a bit hokey to have a RHEL5 and a RHEL5.4+ option, we have someone working on a proper os dictionary and API which will expose much finer grained OS entries like RHEL5.0 RHEL5.1 RHEL5.2 etc. Since we will eventually have a specific 5.4 entry, I figured it doesn't hurt to do now (since it has been requested enough). So there is now a rhel5.4 entry upstream (and in rawhide, f12 updates-testing) |
