The fix is in 17.0 and it sounds like 17.0 will be used in F17. That is great! However this bug also affects F16. Without this fix, you can't install F16 under Xen - which means that it will affect Amazon EC2 customers at least. Please back-port this fix in F16. I am more than happy to test this patch. proposing as a blocker for final so we can kick it around in a blocker review. Discussed at 2011-09-30 blocker review. Agreed to punt again, as the Xen blocker criterion discussion didn't reach a clear resolution yet. We will try to kickstart that discussion and think more about e.g. the EC2 use case. Discussed at 2011-10-07 blocker review. Again we didn't make a decision on the Xen criteria yet: we're going to take the discussion to devel@ and make a decision one way or the other by next week, then vote on this bug appropriately. I built an x86_64 test image with the new lorax-16.4.5-1 and uploaded the initrd and kernel to: - http://tflink.fedorapeople.org/iso/20111007_loraxtest/initrd.img - http://tflink.fedorapeople.org/iso/20111007_loraxtest/vmlinuz Tim,
Thanks for building those ones.
Sadly, it seems that the patch Martin backported still does not bundle the xen-kbdfront driver in the install image:
sh-4.2# find /lib/modules/3.1.0-0.rc8.git0.1.fc16.x86_64/ -name xen-kbdfront
sh-4.2# cd /lib/modules/3.1.0-0.rc8.git0.1.fc16.x86_64/
sh-4.2# cat modules.order |grep xen-kbd
kernel/drivers/input/misc/xen-kbdfront.ko
I looked at the patch, and it is treating xen-kbdfront as a package (which it isn't) rather than a kernel module. Not surprisingly it doesn't work. (In reply to comment #6) > Sadly, it seems that the patch Martin backported still does not bundle the > xen-kbdfront driver in the install image: Actually, that's my bad. There was a rather subtle error in my iso build process and it didn't actually use the new lorax build. I rebuilt the initrd and vmlinuz (double checking the lorax version) and uploaded them with a checksum this time. - http://tflink.fedorapeople.org/iso/20111007_loraxtest/initrd.img - http://tflink.fedorapeople.org/iso/20111007_loraxtest/vmlinuz - http://tflink.fedorapeople.org/iso/20111007_loraxtest/f16_loraxtest.sha256 Tim, I tested the one in comment #8, but as Michael Young mentioned - the patch in the lorax code is not sufficient - so it still is not working right :-( Created attachment 526975 [details] add xen-kbdfront as a module, not a package I have done a scratch build of lorax with the attached patch at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3413155 which is more likely to work.

That did it! With that patch in place the newly created initrd img now accepts keyboard commands. With that, I can install F16 PV guests. Thanks Discussed at 2011-10-14 blocker review meeting. Accepted as a blocker under the new Xen criterion "The release must boot successfully as Xen DomU with releases providing a functional, supported Xen Dom0 and widely used cloud providers utilizing Xen. This does not include any issues limited to the release functioning as Xen Dom0". The criterion as written doesn't _technically_ precisely cover install issues, but we intended it to, and we may clarify this. Can people please re-test this with Final TC2 and confirm it's fixed? The fix should be included. It was in TC1 and I did a successful of that a few days ago where the keyboard worked. great, let's close this then. thanks! |
