Netboot Installers and Paravirtualized mode
For PV VPS's, at the end of the install either you must have the file (hd0,0)/boot/grub/menu.lst present to boot with grub legacy (pvgrub), or you must have a grub2 config file and switch to booting with grub 2. For more information on grub 2 see here.
Here are some notes on making your system bootable in PV mode:
- CentOS 6 - no longer available for PV
- CentOS 7 - switch to grub2 after install
- CentOS 8 - not available for PV
- Debian Jessie 8 - install pv-grub-menu or switch to grub2 after install
- Fedora 29 - switch to grub2 after install
- NetBSD 8.1
- NetBSD 9.0
- Ubuntu Bionic 18.04 - install pv-grub-menu or switch to grub2 after install
- Ubuntu Eoan 19.10 - not available for PV
- Ubuntu Trusty 14.04
- Ubuntu Xenial 16.04 - install pv-grub-menu or switch to grub2 after install
Notes for Ubuntu Bionic 18.04 and Ubuntu Eoan 19.10
Ubuntu Bionic and Ubuntu Focal originally shipped with systemd-networkd. We have disabled it in our images, in favor of the ifupdown scheme used by many other supported distributions.
Additionally, as of May 26th 2019, our pre-built Ubuntu Bionic and Ubuntu Bionic with Docker preinstalled are built with a 5.0 kernel.
