An update that has one fix can now be installed.

Description:

This update for suse-migration-sle15-activation fixes the following issues:

  • Respect host kernel boot options for migration. (bsc#1182520)

The kernel boot options used on the host to migrate can be important for the migration live environment too. For example if net.ifnames is passed is influences the network interface names to become predictable. As the DMS inherits configuration data from the host e.g the network setup, it's required that also the kernel boot parameters matches.

  • Fixed loopback root setting for search in grub.

The root variable for the loopback search in grub was initialized with the assumption that the /usr/share/ location on the system is on the root partition. This assumption could be incorrect and the code should be smart enough to detect this situation.
