      Bumping my lab to staging right now-if you don't hear back, assume everything works fine.

        It doesn't look like my blog post brought a lot of new testers.

        There's still time (a few days) to lend a hand for this 8.2.1 release and test it. I don't think the alternate kernel got a lot of attention outside Vates. Nor AD connectivity (but maybe no one uses this, or they connect their XO instead which might be better).

        I'm currently building new ISOs (test6) that will probably be the final ones. The only difference with test5 is that I removed the igc and r8125 drivers due to issues with the first one and lack of feedback on the second one. We'll continue working on improved hardware support after the release.

        If you installed XCP-ng 8.2.1 using the test5 installation ISO, you need to follow these steps (other testers, just dismiss):

        yum downgrade vendor-drivers
yum update vendor-drivers # should do nothing. Just in case.
yum remove igc-module r8125-module # unless you need them

          @stormi Not much of a help this time, cause my job keeps me way too busy. Anyway, I upgraded my two host playlab the day you released the latest version (via the yum update route with staging repo). Everything updated fine and works as expected since then, but I cannot contribute to the specific test items you asked for.

            @gskger If you can find time for it, you can just update to the latest state of the staging branch with yum update --enablerepo=xcp-ng-staging. Else no problem.

              New installation ISOs (test6) are available at https://updates.xcp-ng.org/tmp/. The netinstall repository was also updated.

              The only changes since the last ones are the removal of igc and r8125 drivers that I had attempted to add in test5.

              These should be the final ones, so it's always good if some of you can test them one last time before the release.

                @stormi Some quick testing of the alternate kernel on my test systems seems to be working fine with the not-unexpected issue that the XOSTOR test does not come up and run on it.

                  @stormi That was an easy 2.8k update on both hosts with no problem. VMs continue to run without any issues so far.

                      @rus2lan The igc driver we backported from the 4.20 kernel doesn't appear to be working well indeed. That's why I did not include it in the final release of XCP-ng 8.2.1 ISOs.

                        XCP-ng 8.2.1 is now released. A huge thanks to everyone who tested and gave feedback to us.

                          I upgraded 3 of my homelab hosts, all were up-to-date 8.2's before this update. One of them blurted out this right at the end of the upgrade, but I did not observe any negative consequences yet.

                            @apz The script that deletes then recreates the guest templates when they are updated apparently failed on your host. Are there any missing templates in your template list?

                              @stormi The affected host has only 2 templates, 2022 Windows and Suse 12.

                                @apz Try to re-run the script that failed:

                                        @apz does rpm -V guest-templates-json guest-templates-json-data-linux guest-templates-json-data-other guest-templates-json-data-windows give any output (it would reveal if there's a corrupted file)?
