Multipass on Mac OS X requires standalone kernel and initrd artifacts
to boot.
Also call update-initramfs on all installed kernels. We only have one
kernel installed, so we don't need to specify an explicit version.
LP: #1893898 describes missing vmtools version from the vmdk headers.
The version should be added as ddb.toolsVersion = "2147483647" however
the sed was no longer replacing a ddb.comment field with the tools
version. Rather than subbing ddb.comment with toolsVersion, this commit
deletes ddb.comment (which the comment mentions could cause errors),
and adds the correct value. There was no visibility into the descriptor
during hook creation, so debug statements were added. This allows us to
quickly verify in the logs that bad statements are removed (the possibly
offending commetns), as well as ensuring that the toolsVersion is added
The seed now specifies the lxd snap in focal as
'lxd=4.0/stable/ubuntu-20.04' which doesn't match the expectations of
the code with looks for lxd as the only snap in the seed for minimized
images. This patch updates the pattern to accept 'lxd' or 'lxd=*'.
In v2.672 the default boot behavior of cloud images changed:
- Prior to v2.672, cloud images with the linux-generic kernel attempt
to boot without an initramfs, would fail, and then retry with an
initramfs.
- After v2.672, cloud images with the linux-generic kernel boot with
an initramfs on the first try.
While the behavior is different between the two, they both result in
an instance that has booted with an initramfs. To ensure the changes
in v2.672 do not regress, we need an automated way to check if we are
attempting to boot without an initramfs and failing.
With this change, when we attempt to boot with an initramfs and fail,
initrdless_boot_fallback_triggered is set to non-zero in the grubenv.
This value can be checked after boot by looking in /boot/grub/grubenv
or by using the grub-editenv list command.
Builds in LP with the Xenial kernel were happy with the recursive mount of
/sys inside the chroot while performing snap-preseeding but autopkgtests
with the groovy kernel failed. With the groovy kernel the build was
unable to unmount sys/kernel/slab/*/cgroup/* (Operation not permitted).
This patch mounts /sys and /sys/kernel/security in the chroot in the
same way we've added for binary hooks. This provides the paths under
/sys needed for snap-preseed while avoiding issues unmounting other
paths.
I recently pulled initramfs logic out of the base build hook, and
dropped that into the `replace_kernel` function. Any cloud image that
does not leverage the generic virtual kernel was expected to call
`replace_kernel` to pull in a custom kernel. That function will
disable initramfs boot for images that use a custom kernel.
Minimal cloud images on amd64 use the linux-kvm kernel, but the build
hook does not utilize the `replace_kernel` function. Instead, the
kernel flavor is set in `auto/config`. I pulled that logic out of
`auto/config` and am now calling `replace_kernel` in the build hook.
I also moved a call to generate the package list so that it will pick
up the change to the linux-kvm kernel.
