Unable to use kernel installed in debian-8 VM #3178

ctrlaltdel · Oct 15, 2017

Qubes OS version:

R4.0

Affected TemplateVMs:

debian-8

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

$ qvm-prefs debian-8 kernel ''
$ qvm-prefs debian-8 debug true
$ qvm-run debian-8 gnome-terminal

Expected behavior:

VM boots correctly with the guest provided kernel which makes it easy to use out-of-tree kernel modules (like wireguard) inside VMs.

Actual behavior:

VM boot fails with the following error message:

/scripts/local-top/qubes_cow_setup: line 106: can't create /etc/udev/rules.d/99-root.rules: nonexistent directory
Gave up waiting for root device.  Common problems:
[...]

Digging from the initramfs shell shows that /dev/mapper/dmroot doesn't exist, don't know how it's supposed to be created?

General notes:

I've followed documentation on how to use kernel installed in the VM.

Work-around

Manually changing /dev/mapper/dmroot to /dev/xvda1 in /etc/default/grub.d/30-qubes.cfg makes the VM boot correctly. Not sure about the side-effects of this though.

Manually changing /dev/mapper/dmroot to /dev/xvda1 in /etc/default/grub.d/30-qubes.cfg makes the VM boot correctly. Not sure about the side-effects of this though.

AppVMs based on such templates (and having kernel set to '') will be broken.

Updated a clone of debian-9 to current-testing and symlink works- no more fatal errors on a grub update. I don't see noresume in /etc/default/grub or grub.d/30-qubes.cfg, though. Would I need to rebuild and reinstall the template?
