On a set of IBM Blade HS21 running on the top of a SAN IBM DS-4700, with some Debian Xen Dom0 and DomU, I had the following issues : On Debian Etch->Lenny Dom0 * I had to reinstall xen-tools. It was already installed but it seems that upgrade remove the package. * Install manually linux images and linux modules. It seems those packages were not upgraded (linux-image-2.6-xen-686 linux-image-2.6.26-1-xen-686 linux-modules-2.6-xen-686 linux-modules-2.6.26-1-xen-686) On Debian Etch->Lenny DomU * Add extra = ‘console=hvc0 xencons=tty‘ in each domU configuration[1] * Install linux-modules-xen-686 on each DomU * Install udev, which is not installed by xen-create-image. This wasn't a problem under Etch, but with Lenny you'll get "Troubleshooting PTY allocation request failed on channel 0" when accessing via SSH[2] On Debian Etch->Lenny with multipath * /sbin/scsi_id has moved to /lib/udev/scsi_id, this can break multipath, just change the configuration (before reboot). * mpath_prio_tpc has been renamed to mpath_prio_rdac, again configuration need to be changed (before reboot). * udev rules have been changed, so before your path was XXXXXpY, now it's XXXXX-partY, so change all your path in /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst. * scsi_id options have changed. Change -s /block/%n to - --device=/dev/%n, so change configuration. -> Don't forget to rebuilt initrd when those changes are done. On Debian Etch->Lenny, drivers * For network card Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708S Gigabit Ethernet (rev 12) install firmware-bnx2 from non-free (not needed with Etch). About OpenLDAP and the bug 504728, affecting the use of cn=config, I think this should be stated in the release notes. The use of cn=config is recommended by OpenLDAP documentation. People that upgrade to Lenny with this bug will : - Rebuild openldap - Revert configuration from cn=config to ".conf" files. As the bug doesn't show up before any configuration changes are made, your OpenLDAP server seems to have been well upgraded, but when it shows up you're in a hurry to fix it. This are the glitches I had when upgrading my servers, it's listed on my wiki[3], but I might be useful for others. Thank for your great work, Etienne.
