To add why this is important to me: I use a virtualisation host as a platform for distributing images to networked workstations. So I run image machines as guests on the virtualisation host, and run tests of installing those images in other virtual guests. Using pxe, I load a kernel, initrd and an installation script, and do all partitioning and installation from this script. I then use kexec to start the distribution kernel of the just installed (virtual) or updated machine. The idea is to turn on a computer (real one) and have it install and then boot into the newly installed or updated system. So I need to test this install system on virtual guests.
If kexec does not work for natty and oneiric, this rather throws a spanner into my whole installation system. Kexec is not some unimportant and esoteric idea for me and other people. We really use it and depend on it. Please test kexec on both virtual and real hardware. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/835790 Title: kexec does not work in natty as a kvm guest To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kexec-tools/+bug/835790/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
