Renaming the artefacts was a compromise. the other option was to not publish them at all.
d-i artefacts will not exist for 20.10 release, nor for 20.04.1 release, on any architecture. Thus renamed d-i artefacts is a transitional period of ~3 months until 20.04.1 is released. cloud-images for s390x with working cloud-init existed since the pre- release of the very first s390x architecture build. And work with xenial, bionic, and focal, and all intermediate releases. Why is using cloud-images not suitable for your test team which works for all Ubuntu s390x releases, and are pre-built and refreshed for every new kernel SRU? Unlike the d-i based images which are only refreshed every 6 months? https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/ are genuinely more up to date, and are quicker to provision than d-i based installs. There are tested/curated release streams with ~2-3 week cadence, and daily streams which are updated ~1-3 days, with all packages up to date from the first boot. Can we help you move away from virt-instal d-i, to booting cloud images with any configuration applied on first-boot with cloud-init? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1872941 Title: [Ubuntu 20.04] virt-install fails to detect path after images folder name has changed Status in Ubuntu CD Images: Opinion Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems: Triaged Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in virt-manager package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Installer version: Latest https://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/focal/main/installer-s390x Description/Reproduction: Start virt-install with the following options: virt-install \ --name ubuntu20-guest1 \ --memory 4096 \ --vcpus 4 \ --disk "size=4" \ --location http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/focal/main/installer-s390x \ --network "network=default" Error: ERROR Error validating install location: Could not find an installable distribution at 'http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/focal/main/installer-s390x' The location must be the root directory of an install tree. See virt-install man page for various distro examples. Looking at previous releases I would guess it expects an "images" directory instead of the new "classic-images" directory. I'm aware of the workaround to specify kernel/initramfs directly but that shouldn't be a solution. == Comment: #2 - Andre Wild1 <andre.wi...@ibm.com> - 2020-04-15 03:51:21 == (In reply to comment #0) > Installer version: Latest > https://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/focal/main/installer-s390x > Sorry I've copied the wrong link.
