Hello Group.
Please assist.
SLES15 SP7
Building a Kiwi ISO image type=oem fail to create "isolinux.bin".
'fdisk' seems to fail.
The same config.xlm is used for SLES15 SP6 and is working.
Changing the repo to point to SP7 is the only change.

Building a Kiwi ISO image type=oem fail to create "isolinux.bin".
'fdisk' seems to fail.
The same config.xlm is used for SLES15 SP6 and is working.
Changing the repo to point to SP7 is the only change.

Hi,
> The debug log.
Hmm, I'm a bit confused. You sent along two logs:
* miniosoem.log
* uefiminios.log
both log files shows successful builds:
[ INFO ]: 11:04:08 | Result files:
[ INFO ]: 11:04:08 | --> disk_image: /global/http/minios-result/SLES15-MiniOS-ABC-OEM.INPROGRESS.x86_64-15.7.raw
[ INFO ]: 11:37:55 | Result files:
[ INFO ]: 11:37:55 | --> disk_image: /global/http/uefiminios-result/SLES15-MiniOS-ABC-OEM.INPROGRESS.x86_64-15.7.raw
You said your build did not complete. The log files however, did
not show me an issue.
I would expect the following to work for testing the boot capabilities:
qemu-kvm \
-cpu Broadwell-v2 \
-m 4096 \
-netdev user,id=user0 \
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=user0 \
-serial stdio \
-hda /global/http/minios-result/SLES15-MiniOS-ABC-OEM.INPROGRESS.x86_64-15.7.raw
and:
qemu-kvm \
-cpu Broadwell-v2 \
-m 4096 \
-netdev user,id=user0 \
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=user0 \
-serial stdio \
-bios /usr/share/qemu/ovmf-x86_64-ms.bin \
-hda /global/http/uefiminios-result/SLES15-MiniOS-ABC-OEM.INPROGRESS.x86_64-15.7.raw
Therefore maybe a stupid question; What's the actual issue ?
Thanks

Marcus

Hi Marcus.
Sorry for the vagueness.
The issue is, the the created ISO files do not boot from the virtual DVD.
The '.raw' files are not in play yet.
The ' isolinux.bin' is missing in the iso.
/boot/x86_64/loader/
Maybe SP7 works differently?
Regards,
Jan

Hi Jan,

Ok, it's about booting

isolinux.bin is syslinux and syslinux is deprecated since
quite some time. kiwi dropped support for syslinux early 2024.
The boot from ISO is done by the selected bootloader. Your
image selected grub, therefore grub is used as you can also
see from the log:

So let's first double check if the produced ISO is really broken.
Can you please call
qemu-kvm -cpu Broadwell-v2 -m 4096 -serial stdio -cdrom /global/http/minios-result/SLES15-MiniOS-ABC-OEM.INPROGRESS.x86_64-15.7.install.iso
This should boot and show you a grub menu
yes/no ?
If yes, the issue is with your virtual DVD... whatever that is.
I guess VMware Virtual DVD rom ? In this case check your VM guest
config if the DVD is exposed as SCSI device and the ISO is attached
directly.
If no, can you provide the ISO file, so I can inspect it more
closely ?
> Maybe SP7 works differently?
I doubt this is related to the version of SLES. I'm thinking
more in the direction of the conversation we had about xorriso
together with Adam Williamson from RedHat.

Hi,
> "Reading /dev/image/*.md5sum"
Ah ok I think I know what happened. So md5 is insecure and unsupported
which is the reason why md5 was dropped in favor of sha256. See
here for details:
https://github.com/OSInside/kiwi/pull/2699
So as you can see this changes the code in kiwi to produce sha256 sums
and it also changes the appropriate initrd code that reads the
new sum files.
This means if you build your image with a version of kiwi that has
moved to sha256 sums but still using older dracut modules which
still checks for md5 sums you will be facing this problem.
So I guess you are building for SLES and the dracut-kiwi-xxx module
packages are taken from SLES repos (still old and using md5) but your
kiwi is one that is newer and has already been moved to sha256
To prove this you can consider to add the kiwi repo from here as
a <repository> to your image build:
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:/Appliances:/Builder/openSUSE_Leap_15.6/
The openSUSE_Leap_15.6 repo is compatible with SLE15. If your build
now takes the dracut-kiwi-xxx module packages from that repo things
should start to work.
If that fixes it, we need to find a proper solution to that
inconsistency that works for you.
As of today the drop of md5 has not yet been ported into SLES15.
This means a mix of new kiwi with dracut-kiwi-xxx module packages
from SLES15 is not fully compatible depending on the used
features.
Even though we aim to support a lot of distributions, SLE15
is actually not on the list of supported distros for the kiwi
v10.x.x code base. See:
https://osinside.github.io/kiwi/overview.html#system-requirements
Let us know if we are on the right track here.

Hi Jan,

ok
> The new error:
error on your end. The code to this is:
readarray -td '' list_items_sorted \
device_array=("a" "z" "b")
readarray -td '' list_items_sorted \
has no issues.
The sorting of the devices has been added recently and I tested
the above on SLES15.
Can you do the following. Repeat the installation with:
rd.debug rd.shell
This should drop you into an emergency shell inside of the initrd.
In that shell, cut and paste the above test code. Does it work.
Next call:
journalctl > journal
If possible provide the journal file for a closer look. If not
check the value of device_array and let us know the contents.
Sorry for this one, we have to fix it

Huh what ? That is a new one and I don't get why it's a syntax

error on your end. The code to this is:
readarray -td '' list_items_sorted \

shellcheck does not complain and a simple test like this:
device_array=("a" "z" "b")
readarray -td '' list_items_sorted \

echo ${list_items_sorted[@]}
has no issues.
The sorting of the devices has been added recently and I tested
the above on SLES15.
Can you do the following. Repeat the installation with:
rd.debug rd.shell
This should drop you into an emergency shell inside of the initrd.
In that shell, cut and paste the above test code. Does it work.
Next call:
journalctl > journal
If possible provide the journal file for a closer look. If not
check the value of device_array and let us know the contents.
Sorry for this one, we have to fix it

Oh I'm stupid. Inside of the initrd the shell is called as "sh"
which restricts itself to features found in the POSIX standard.
The above code is not POSIX like and therefore fails in this
environment.
I'll fix it

Hi Jan,
> Appreciated.
Here is the PR to fix this
* https://github.com/OSInside/kiwi/pull/2862
I built a Staging kiwi that has among other fixes also this
one included.
Can you build your image with the <repository> changed
from :Builder to:
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:/Appliances:/Staging/openSUSE_Leap_15.6/
The Staging area is our target for testing fixes prior updating
the :Builder project. You can always use it for smoke testing
I hope this moves us forward
Thanks

Hi Marcus
The BIOS ISO is now booting fine on a physical server.
The UEFI boot will probably boot now as well.
Thanks so much for the help.
Have a good weekend.

Jan
