Packer images are missing initrd drivers. #22
Comments
I was finally able to find the issue. Cent8 removed needed drivers from the kernel. its not hard to get a ks to use those drivers but how would one do so in the packer environment? would you expect a nfs /web image/iso or is there a better way to include the addional drivers in the packer image? Since previously deployed machines are able to power back on with the images deployed by maas having the boot drivers on a seperate server that may not have recovered would be troubling. |
Packer simply automates the official OS installation process and creates a MAAS compatible image. CentOS, RHEL, and VMware all use a kickstart file to describe how the installation is performed. packer-maas stores these in the |
its more of a issue of centos/rhel policy causing issues as they muddled with dev id's to remove support from the official kernel tree :/ I will update this issue if i find any thing as the way i got it working tonight has cloud-init griping about selinux labels post boot. |

I tried to build the centos8 image since the canonical one was having issues and noticed that when it panics due to missing root the /lib/mod.... has almost no drivers in it. going to kernel/scsi there were 2 or 3 drivers when it panics in the full driver listing its nearly 20 drivers in there.
