This update provides KIWI v5.06.195, which brings several fixes and enhancements:
- Follow up fix for Rename SLE JeOS descriptions: Fixed merge conflict to fit
schema of this kiwi version. (bsc#959713)
- Rename SLE JeOS descriptions: In order to avoid a naming conflict with the JeOS
product we agreed on renaming the SLE JeOS description in kiwi to contain the
community keyword to separate this descriptions from the SUSE JeOS product.
(fate#319430)
- Add root filesystem label to images: To allow devicepersistency="by-label" also
for the root filesystem, the setupFilesystem method has been extended for all
supported filesystems to add a root label too. The default name for the root
label is 'ROOT'. (bsc#946236)
- Make sure kiwi_BootPart variable is written: kiwi_BootPart is expected to exist
in the initrd environment. Thus it's required to write it in config.partids in
any case. If there is no extra boot partition kiwi_BootPart equals kiwi_RootPart.
(bsc#946387)
- Embed LOADER_TYPE into double quotes: This is required by perl-bootloader.
(bsc#944017)
- Fixed setup of /var/run location: /var/run is a symbolic link to /run on newer
systems and a directory on older systems. Handle this difference properly.
- Renamed bootloader ziplgrub to grub2_s390x_emu: We don't want to populate a
non-existing bootloader. Thus the decision was to use the grub2 platform name
for the SLE-12 s390x boot workflow. (bsc#944017)
- Added required packages to SLE-12 s390x images: grub2 and grub2-s390x-emu for
vmx|oem boot images; grub2, grub2-s390x-emu and kexec-tools for JeOS templates.
Additionally, extend JeOS template with some useful tools (parted, ip, less).
- Implemented support for stacked zipl plus grub2 boot: In SLE-12, zipl and btrfs
are incompatible because the block where the initrd and the kernel live could
change in a btrfs filesystem. To work with btrfs, a new boot process has been
invented by the SLES team which impacts kiwi too.
- Fixed zipl setup: zipl does not allow a targetgeometry if the target type is
different from CDL or LDL.
- Fixed diskOffset calculation for s390: zipl wants the number of blocks to indicate
the start of the first partition, not the number of tracks.
- Fixed zipl installation for LDL/CDL on loop device: Installing zipl on the LDL/CDL
target device types requires to specify the disk geometry. zipl is not able to get
that information from a loop device. Therefore we need to hand over a targetgeometry
which matches the loop geometry.
- Update selector for partitioner tool: If we are building a dasd image using the new
loop driver which supports 4k devices, we need a way to select fdasd as partitioner
on s390. This can be done via commandline options but is now also auto selected if
a zipl_targettype of CDL or LDL is specified.
- Implement setup of loop logical sector size: The new loop driver capability allows
to set a custom blocksize on setup of the loop device. The attribute value from the
target_blocksize attribute is used in losetup as follows: "-L target_blocksize".
(bsc#931634)
- Fixed zipl installBootLoader blocksize usage: There is now the target_blocksize
attribute which is used. If not specified the default blocksize of 512 bytes applies.
(bsc#931634)
- Fixed zipl installBootLoader blocksize retrieval: In order to find the target blocksize
for the zipl configuration kiwi asked for the physical blocksize. However the logical
block size should be used when zipl accesses the device. (bsc#931634)
- Added target_blocksize attribute in type section: In preparation to support custom
blocksize values for loops the attribute target_blocksize was implemented like the
following example shows: <type ... target_blocksize="4096"/>. This will set
a 4k blocksize used for all loops setup during image build and on first boot of the
image. (bsc#931634)
- Deleted fixed parmfile name PARM-S11 on s390: Instead a new OEM element called:
<oem-vmcp-parmfile> has been added. Using this element allows to specify the
parmfile name without the userid. The userid is queried on demand. If no parmfile
name is specified the default name PARM-S11 applies for backward compatibility.
(bsc#931436)
- Fixed loading of vmcp on s390: In SLE12 vmcp is compiled into the kernel, thus loading
it as a module will cause an exception which is misleading. (bsc#931436)
