Xen VMs & elrepo kernel
-
I have been unable to get elrepo kernel 5.14 installed and booting on my CentOS 7/8 XCP VMs.
I can however get the Kernel installed on other platforms just not Xen (xcp) VMs.
Is anyone having this issue or heard anything about it? -
Hi,
Never heard of this. What's the issue? Are you in HVM or PV mode for those guests?

@indyj May this is your issue? https://elrepo.org/bugs/view.php?id=1137&nbn=1

@danp That is the very problem I'm having. Thanks for looking that up!
-
Nice catch! They just forgot to include a critical module to get the VM booting on Xen

For those who install the kernel-ml from Elrepo: I tested this on all my CentOS 7/8 VMs: The results were mixed, the procedure worked on about half of them. Proceed with Caution.

Update:
This same issue has found its way into Fedora 34 in the stock kernel. No special repos, just "dnf update" and it happened. Could this affect the entire 5.14 series? -
@indyj The problem appears to be in the 5.15 kernel as well but the workaround seems to fix the issue.
