Closed ltrager closed 3 years ago

ltrager commented 5 years ago

This patch is needed to add support for booting the Ubuntu ephemeral environment with MAAS on Z13 systems.

Hi @ltrager , any plans on sending an updated version? Thanks!

hoeppnerj commented 3 years ago

ping @ltrager Do you still plan to send a new version? Otherwise we might close this PR without further processing.

Sorry its taking so long to respond. I lost access to the Z13 system I had. I should be getting access again in the next few weeks. Once I do I'll take another look at this branch and test changes.

@ltrager you should still have access to the s390x LPAR and KVM internally, and z14 via external connection. Maybe you can chat to bjorn or frank heimes to double check?

@ltrager @xnox any updates here?

ltrager commented 3 years ago

Sorry its taking so long to get to this. I'm verifying changing now and should have an update next week.

ltrager commented 3 years ago

It looks like the Z14 I have access to now doesn't need this patch. /sys/firmware/sclp_sd/config/data is found in the initrd and everything loads automatically now :)
