ac97 audio support has been removed from QEMU.
For example in RHEL 9.1 (qemu-kvm-7.0.0), creating new VMs fail
to start with the following error:
'AC97' is not a valid device model name.
See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1995819
Fixes the following error with perl-Crypt-CBC >= 3.0+ (default on EL9+)
'blocksize' is not a recognized argument at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Crypt/CBC.pm line 312.
at /opt/xcat/lib/perl/xCAT/IPMI.pm line 724.
Previous solution did not work for releases > 9.16.9 (ex. 9.16.10)
Furthermore, EL9 adds -RH tag at the end (ex. 9.16.23-RH) which needs to
be removed.
Previously the code which created the netboot config files was
incorrectly specifying the initrd file name in a number of places,
particularly in the xcat/xnba/nets/* files, using a hard-coded `.gz`
suffix even when a `.lzma` file had been created. This change ensures
that the initrd file name determined earlier in the code (either when
the image is created, or in the configonly case by checking the
filesystem) is used correctly when creating the netboot config files.
The old regex matches product IDs containing a 0 (like 1230 or 1023, ...), too.
This causes issues for some x86 Supermicro servers resulting in the following error:
rpower node01 cycle
node01: [xcat]: Error: unsupported command rpower cycle for OpenPOWER
The new regex fixes this issue and matches ^0$ only.
This configures automated installation using the subiquity installer, as
documented at
https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/install/autoinstall-quickstart and other
locations on the Internet.
Installation uses the NFS export of /install, and configures the
installer to use the nocloud-net datasource, creating a per-node
directory containing the processed template file as the user-data file,
and an empty meta-data file.
Kernel and initrd files are pulled from the casper/ directory under the
package dir.
Unnecessary elements of the kernel command line have been removed in the
subiquity installer path.
Support has been added for selecting a subiquity specific default
template, as well as an updated pre-install script and some minor POSIX
shell compliance fixes for the getinstdisk script.
Before this change, any `osimage` with the `groups` parameter defined to anything but `ALL` would not get entries set for `ALL` in the `litefile` table.
The only special case for images with `groups` should be the group-specific entries.
