<p>An update that can now be installed.</p>
<h2>Description:</h2>
<p>This update for suse-migration-services fixes the following issues:</p>
<p>Changes in suse-migration-services:</p>
<ul>
<li>Bump version: 2.1.38 → 2.1.39</li>
<li>fix: only install shim on supported architectures</li>
<li>Fix sles version check for SLE16</li>
</ul>
<p>The current check does not match for SLE16 as it requires
is_opensuse to be true which is not the case for SLE16+</p>
<ul>
<li>Switch multipath off if the root device is not multipath</li>
</ul>
<p>The dracut multipath module in the migration image can claim single
path devices, which makes the migration target partition unavailable
and drops the boot into the emergency shell.</p>
<p>Both cmdline builders now check whether the root device stack contains
a multipath map and add multipath=off if it does not. The check runs on
the device stack, not on the device node, so root on LVM above a
multipath map is detected as multipath.</p>
<p>The option is appended after the host cmdline pass through to take
precedence over a multipath option of the host.</p>
