Why not use standard Ubuntu kernels instead? \nWith this package you can use standard Ubuntu kernels on your Scaleway x86_64\ninstances by the magic of KEXEC. \n\nBe aware that you don't need all of this if you are using the newer Scaleway\nlocally booted instances (eg. START1). This instances use the distributions \nkernel anyhow.\n\nRequirements\n============\nJust make sure your current Scaleway kernel has KEXEC support. \nE.g. 4.9.20 std #1 bootscript. You can adjust this via the \nbootscript setting in the Advanced section of the cloud.scaleway.com interface.\n\nInstall\n=======\n1. Make sure your system is up-to-date and get the Ubuntu package:  \n   ``curl -LO https://github.com/stuffo/scaleway-ubuntukernel/releases/download/v1.2/scaleway-ubuntukernel_1.2-1_amd64.deb ``\n2. You can skip this step if you already installed any kernel package providing linux-image. \n   Otherwise, get some Ubuntu kernel. E.g. current mainline kernels from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline:  \n   ``curl -LO http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.10.3/linux-image-4.10.3-041003-generic_4.10.3-041003.201703142331_amd64.deb``  \n   ``apt install ./linux-image-4.10.3-041003-generic_4.10.3-041003.201703142331_amd64.deb ``  \n   Ignore/dismiss all Grub related setup messages, you don't need it.\n3. Install this package:  \n   ``apt install ./scaleway-ubuntukernel_1.2-1_amd64.deb ``  \n   Say No when asked about using Kexec reboot, it will interfere with this kexec service.\n4. Make sure Ubuntu kexec service is disabled. Required as Ubuntu will kexec too early and leave a dirty filesystem.\n   `` systemctl disable kexec ``\n5. Reboot. That's it. Your system will kexec into your Ubuntu kernel on startup.\n   \nUninstall\n=========\nEither remove the package or just disable the service:\n``systemctl disable scaleway-ubuntukernel``\n\nTroubleshooting\n===============\nYou can run ubuntukernel-load.sh manually as root. It is quite verbose. Be \naware that your system will reboot (kexec) if all went fine.\n\nIf your initrd or kernel is bad you can get stuck with a non booting system.\nAdd a server tag in the Scaleway webui with the name `ubuntukernel_disabled`\nand kexec won't be executed on bootup anymore.  \n\nOther usefull Scaleway related tags are `INITRD_POST_SHELL=1` which will drop \nyou in a shell after the whole initrd shebang is done so you can tinker with \nyour filesystem. Also consider `INITRD_VERBOSE=1` to make initrd more verbose.\n`INITRD_DEBUG=1` is maximum verbose and will trace all commands that get \nexecuted in initrd.\n\nBuild\n=====\nMake sure you have devscripts package installed.\n\n1. clone repo ``git clone https://github.com/stuffo/scaleway-ubuntukernel.git``\n2. run debuild to build debian package  \n   ``debuild -i -us -uc -b``\n\nTODO\n====\n* account scaleway initrd version for automatic initrd regeneration on change\n\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fstuffo%2Fscaleway-ubuntukernel","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fstuffo%2Fscaleway-ubuntukernel","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fstuffo%2Fscaleway-ubuntukernel/lists"}
