Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.24-16-virtual

Found in Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) JeOS:

For the open-iscsi package modules "scsi_transport_iscsi" and "iscsi_tcp" are needed. "scsi_transport_iscsi" is included in linux-image-2.6.24-16-virtual but "iscsi_tcp" is not.

Workaround: Building a custom kernel package with "iscsi_tcp" included.

Symptoms:
iscsd fails to start: "iscsid: Missing or Invalid version from /sys/module/scsi_transport_iscsi/version."
After loading scsi_transport_iscsi with modprobe iscsd will start, but when trying to connect to a LUN it will complain "iSCSI driver not found".

If the iscsi_tcp module is present everything works like expected, iscsd will start at boot time and automatically connect the LUN's if configured to do so.

Hi Thorsten,

Just confirming your report that CONFIG_ISCSI_TCP is not enabled for -virtual. I'm reassigning to the kernel team. Thanks.

SRU Justification:

Impact: The x86 virtual flavor cannot use ISCSI over TCP (a common NAS protocol).

Fix Description: Enabled CONFIG_ISCSI_TCP=m for -virtual.

Patch: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-hardy.git;a=commit;h=3c0b1d95c656e20d8242b0c4eb43fe1ae218eb36

TEST CASE: Using a -virtual kernel: 'modprobe -l iscsi_tcp'
No iscsi_tcp module is reported.

I can confirm, both the bug in hardy, and the fix in proposed-updates. The Hardy iSCSI installation is useless until this has been fixed.

Jesper - your previous statement is somewhat ambiguous, but I think what you've said is that linux-image-2.6.24-17-virtual_2.6.24-17.31 contains the iscsi_tcp module and _does_ solve your problem.
