FYI: libvirt / virt-install / virt-manager available on PPC in rawhide
by Daniel P. Berrange 26 Aug '07

26 Aug '07

For Fedora 6 & 7, the virtualization management stack based on libvirt was never built for PPC. This is because it depended on Xen which was x86(_64) only. Since libvirt now has support for managing QEMU / KVM too, and QEMU RPMs are available on PPC in Fedora, we have removed the ExcludeArch from all the virt management RPMs. Xen support in libvirt is still explicitly excluded on PPC - we only build QEMU support. The build was just completed so RPMs should be available in rawhide in the near future. If the kernel-xen in Fedora ever gets PPC support we can also enable libvirt to support Xen on PPC, but that's blocked on PPC kernel merge & not aware of anyone actively working on that.

regenerating comps.xml

Hi again folks, I finally got somewhere the the problems I've been having reproducing our Fedora-x86 build on Fedora-PPC. On the x86 side it appears as though we can happily remove RPMs from the "base", but on the PPC side this causes Anaconda to die miserably. So in the meantime I'm including all of "base" in the builds and it is chugging along nicely. However, the real goal is to be able to trim down "base" and remove the 20 or so RPMs that we simply do not need for our application. I've been doing a lot of googling and cannot seem to find anything on this. Actually, the one site I found that showed how to do this was for FC2 and it made use of a Python script which was nowhere to be found on my system, even though I did have the package installed which they said was required. So I guess that script has been obsoleted in the meantime. Can someone please point me to some reading material to figure out how to do this? thanks, -Alan -- "Aikido has but one principle - the universal reality of life" - Mitsugi Saotome

pungi docs?
by Alan McKay 17 Aug '07

17 Aug '07

Hey guys, I'm finally getting around to looking at pungi, and there do not seem to be (m)any docs for it. I'm looking in the wiki at https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/pungi/wiki/PungiDocs and what seems to be there are skeleton docs that make lots of references to "what we're going to do". And I don't see anything in the download that I just pulled. Also wondering what you'd all recommend for background reading. The scant docs which do exist in the wiki seem to assume an awful lot of knowledge about how a FC distro is put together in the first place (which is kind of circular - well, more than kind-of). Can you recommend reading material on some of the building blocks, in particular on repositories, and how to build them? thanks, -Alan -- "Aikido has but one principle - the universal reality of life" - Mitsugi Saotome

Live image ppc and ppc64 support
by Jeremy Katz 16 Aug '07

16 Aug '07

Okay, I've finally gotten around to merging dwmw2's changes for ppc support in livecd-creator. First off, thanks for getting the ball rolling. Of course, now the fun part is that it would be nice to be able to support both ppc and ppc64 with the images. There are a few barriers to that as it currently stands. The biggest is probably that the ppc and ppc64 kernels currently conflict. The actual vmlinuz files as well as the modules end up under the same paths. Without that fixed, it's a bit of a non-starter. Maybe it finally makes sense to make the paths depend on uname -m in addition to uname -r? Other ideas? If we get that fixed, the livecd-creator side of things shouldn't be that bad to do. Mainly just making it so that we handle multiple kernels (which kanarip has a patch for, just need to finish getting it into a merge-ready state) and then a little of the 3264 logic out of anaconda's scripts.

ppc64 (mac) netboot
by Roland McGrath 10 Aug '07

10 Aug '07

Ages ago, I used to netboot my Mac G5 all the time. It's been a while since I've had any luck with that. Help? My server-side stuff still works, don't bother asking. What I used to do is have the tftp'd file be yaboot. It would tftp yaboot.conf and present the menu items I set up. One of these could be e.g.: image=enet:,/fc/4/mac64/vmlinuz label=fc4-mac64 initrd=enet:,/fc/4/mac64/ramdisk.image.gz append="maxcpus=1 ramdisk_size=8192" read-only and this worked peachy. I was able to get there by using the four-finger salute at chime time and typing "boot enet:,", or by getting to the first stage of on-disk yaboot and hitting 'n'. I could even do it by holding 'n' at chime time, or option and clicking the globe, and then type blind at the yaboot command line while the screen stayed frozen in Macintoshy graphics mode until the boot started. I can still get my menu, but it never leads to a happy installer boot any more (unless I want to reinstall FC4). Maybe since FC5 or so. At some point, the netboot images changed from vmlinuz+initrd.img to the one ppc64.img. When I point yaboot at that, it tftp's it happily and then says: ... method 'load' failed 00000300 Can't read Elf e_ident/e_type/e_machine info When I change the tftp server to deliver ppc64.img directly, I get (from OF): Loading ELF CLAIM failed ok When I try 'n' at chime time or 'n' at on-disk yaboot stage 1, it just blinks and fiddles for a few seconds and then either boots from disk or goes into an endless loop of yaboot stage 1 prompts. Once it showed me a folder icon with a question mark in the center of the screen for a second. Over the releases I've tried a newer yaboot from time to time, with no luck. What's the story? I would really like to be able to netboot a yaboot with a configurable menu of options that can include installer boots. That's what I do for x86 machines with PXE, and that's what I was able to do for the Mac before. Thanks, Roland
