Bug Description
Stable update justification:
Impact: When installing in a Xen domU, the installer fails to find any network interfaces.
Development branch: Fixed in hw-detect 1.81ubuntu3 by loading xenbus_
Patch: http://
TEST CASE: Start up d-i in a Xen domU and run through to the point where it detects network interfaces. Without this patch, it should fail; with this patch, it should work. Note that for testing you will need to use a kernel/initrd from natty-proposed (which I'll need to upload separately after this patch is accepted), and in production after this upload is validated you'll need to use a kernel/initrd from natty-updates.
Regression potential: I think the worst thing that can plausibly happen here is an error message via debconf if the module fails to load. The /sys/hypervisor
Original report follows:
xenbus_
However, with xenbus_
Right now, it's built in for the -virtual flavours, but we aren't currently building installer images from that, and I think I'm happier building them directly from -generic-pae / -generic anyway.
This is true in both Natty and Oneiric. If you can't do this for Oneiric and/or are unwilling to do this in a stable update for Natty, then please let me know so that I can add a workaround to the installer in time. Thanks!
