Bug#995563: linux-image-amd64: Please enable VIRTIO_MMIO_CMDLINE_DEVICES for firecracker
Package: linux-image-amd64
Version: 5.10.46-5
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: m.warmer@outlook.com
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
I tried to boot debian inside the firecracker microvm and saw that initramfs
could not find the root disk. It turns out that virtio_mmio.ko is not compiled
with the VIRTIO_MMIO_CMDLINE_DEVICES option. Thus requiring a kernel rebuild to
be able to boot debian.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Rebuilding the kernel with the extra option worked
* What was the outcome of this action?
My rebuild kernel worked.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I hoped to be able to boot debian after including the right kernel modules inside initramfs
