xen-tools (4.8-1) unstable; urgency=medium
|
|
|
|
For security reasons (avoid risk to circumvent ASLR), recent
|
|
kernels have disabled the vsyscall mapping. Unfortunately older
|
|
distributions don't run and hence can't be bootstrapped without it.
|
|
|
|
To enable trapping and enabling emulate calls into the fixed
|
|
vsyscall address mapping and hence to run and bootstrap older Linux
|
|
distributions in a chroot (as xen-tools does), you need to add
|
|
"vsyscall=emulate" to the kernel commandline, e.g. by adding it to
|
|
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub, then running
|
|
"update-grub" afterwards and finally reboot.

* Exported environment variables no more contain dashes ("-"). Dashes in
|
|
environment variable names are from now on converted to underscores
|
|
("_") before being exported. May affect some hook or role scripts.
|
|
|
|
* /usr/lib/xen-tools/ has been moved to /usr/share/xen-tools/ to
|
|
properly adhere to FHS. In case you had local scripts added to
|
|
/usr/lib/xen-tools/, please move them to /usr/share/xen-tools/, too
|
|
and then remove /usr/lib/xen-tools/ and its left-over subdirectories
|
|
which all should be empty at that point, i.e. "rmdir -p
|
|
/usr/lib/xen-tools/*" should do the trick.

|
By default, xen-create-image now generates a random root password and
|
|
displays it as plain text at the end of the DomU generation process.
|
|
Use --genpass=0 and --passwd=1 to interactively set a root password
|
|
without the password being displayed.

If the DomU hangs with "Waiting for root file system" despite
|
|
/dev/xvd* is used as disk device, adding "xen-blkfront" to
|
|
/etc/initramfs-tools/modules and running "update-initramfs -u"
|
|
afterwards may help.
|
|
|
|
If the Dom0 is a Debian or Ubuntu, the distribution and suite for
|
|
DomUs defaults to the distribution and suite the Dom0 is
|
|
running. Otherwise Debian DomUs get "stable" and Ubuntu "lucid" by
|
|
default.
|
|
|
|
Default Debian/Ubuntu mirror is now determined by looking into
|
|
/etc/apt/sources.list (if it exists) and taking the first entry with
|
|
path ending in /debian/ there.
