An update that has four fixes can now be installed.

Description:

This update provides KIWI v7.03.117, which brings several fixes and enhancements:

  • Do not include any suffix to the displayname value: If displayname attribute in the description file is used we should not include any kind of suffix to that value. With this patch the grub2 menu entry does not include the image type suffix if the displayname option is used. (bsc#1029904)

  • Fixed grub bootloader setup for ec2 firmware: In EC2, Xen is used but not detected as such by kiwi unless a domain configuration is provided in the image description. As this is a regression to the former behavior, this patch makes sure the bootloader setup is appropriate depending on the firmware set to ec2|ec2hvm. (bsc#1049178)

  • Fixed parameters passed to systemd calls, so that 'baseService nfs-server off` can be executed without issues. (bsc#1041815)

  • Fixed detection of Xen PV guest: The method isXen was used to check if the paravirtual kernel kernel-xen is used and if so it influences the setup of the bootloader. In newer versions there is no kernel-xen anymore and its capabilities were moved into the pvops kernel provided with the standard kernel-default package. Thus one kernel can now serve for pv, hvm and dom0 images. Because of that there is no other way than specifying the target Xen use case as part of the image description. The information can be provided in the doman setup of the machine configuration with:

  • domain="dom0"

  • domain="domU"
  • domain="domU-PV"

The new domU-PV value allows to specify that this image is going to be used as a xen para virtual guest. The standard domU value will setup the bootloader in a way that it is usable as "real" bootloader in an hvmloader Xen guest. (bsc#1036198)
