[Bug 1274376] Re: 14.04 ovmf causes oops when running update-grub under kvm

 

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v3.13 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".


Thanks in advance.

Title:
  14.04 ovmf causes oops when running update-grub under kvm

Status in “edk2” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On up to date 14.04, if I create a vm with:
  virt-install --connect=qemu:///system --name=sb-saucy-amd64 --arch=x86_64 --ram=768 \
  --disk=path=<path to>/sb-saucy-amd64.qcow2,size=8,format=qcow2,bus=ide,sparse=True \
  --virt-type=kvm --accelerate --hvm --cdrom=<path to>/saucy-desktop-amd64.iso \
  --os-type=linux --os-variant=generic26 --graphics=vnc --network=network=default,model=virtio \
  --video=cirrus --noreboot --boot=loader=OVMF.fd

  I get to the EFI boot menu. Choose Install Ubuntu, then automatic
  partitioning, with everything else defaults. By the time it gets to
  'Running update-grub', the installer kernel oops with the attached
  screenshot (to get it, go to tty1 when grub starts installing, then it
  will eventually oops when update-grub is run).

  If I downgrade to ovmf that is in 13.10, the install completes without a traceback. Obviously, the kernel should not traceback, but clearly there is a problem with edk2 too, so I am filing the bug there. Please reassign as necessary.
