Title:
libvirt: AMI-based Linux instances /dev/console unusable
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
Expired
Status in tempest:
In Progress
Bug description:
In Linux, the last console= option listed in /proc/cmdline becomes
/dev/console, which is used for things like rescue mode, single-user
mode, etc. In the case of AMI-based Linux images, libvirt defines the
"serial" console (tied to the console.log) last, which means a crashed
instance ends up being unrecoverable
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upload the AMI/AKI/ARI images attached to this bug into Glance and tie
them together (if how to do this is not common knowledge, I can follow-on with
exact steps)
2. Boot an instance against the image. It has been altered so that it will
crash on startup, believing there is filesystem corruption
Expected Behaviour:
A "Press enter for maintenance (or type Control-D to continue):"
prompt on the interactive console (Spice/VNC/etc.)
Actual Behaviour:
The aforementioned prompt appears in the libvirt console.log, and the
instance is effectively bricked.
