The first native build stopped on the payload lint. The Ubuntu dracut module
installs ping, nc, nslookup, sfdisk, mkfs.btrfs, usb.ids, poweroff, reboot and
shutdown unconditionally, and no package in the build root supplies any of them.
dracut reported each one with a FAILED: line and exited 0, which is how the image
that shipped without dhclient was packaged. Add iputils-ping, netcat-openbsd,
fdisk, btrfs-progs, hwdata and systemd-sysv.
Two names change between releases. util-linux-extra appeared in 23.04, so the
jammy build stopped with "E: Unable to locate package util-linux-extra" where
hwclock is still in util-linux; bind9-dnsutils replaced dnsutils in 22.04.
add_first_available installs the first name apt knows and stops the build when a
release carries none of them.
dch reads debian/control from the working directory, not from the file it writes,
so the build directory has to be the working directory before it runs.

dracut copies the kernel, the kernel modules and every command out of the root
it runs in. The Ubuntu Genesis deb was built once, on the build host, so every
Ubuntu release got the build host's kernel. Nothing called the builder at all:
the pipelines converted the EL rpm with alien instead.
builddebs.pl gains --genesis, --genesis-only and --genesis-dist. The Genesis
deb is now built once per codename inside that codename's <codename>-<arch>-sbuild
chroot, the chroots xcat-dep's sbuild-all.pl already creates on the Ubuntu build
host. builddeb-genesis-base takes --expect-codename and stops when the root it
woke up in is a different release, so a build on the build host cannot produce a
codename's image.
builddebs.pl reads the build log through XCAT::BuildUtils::genesis_log_errors and
fails the build on FAILED:, a package apt cannot find and four more lines that a
zero exit status hides. The extracted payload goes through verify-genesis-payload
with the command list read back from the dracut module, plus the DHCP client, the
97xcat hooks and a /lib/modules that holds this chroot's kernel and no other.
The build root gains isc-dhcp-client, ifenslave and util-linux-extra, which
supply dhclient, ifenslave and hwclock.
genesis_deb_per_codename.t, genesis_payload_verification.t and
genesis_ubuntu_build_root.t fail without this change.

The go-xcat shell behavior tests were written as Perl harnesses, which made the shell assertions harder to read and kept shell-specific setup outside a native shell test framework.
Add BATS to the GitHub Actions dependency set, run BATS tests from the same preserved source tree as the Perl unit suite, and move the go-xcat repository checks into xCAT-test/autotest/bats.

The riscv64 kernel was built without ACPI. Firmware that publishes ACPI
tables and no device tree - server-class RISC-V boards, and edk2 with
acpi=on - therefore left the kernel with no hardware description: it died
before console initialisation, so a node handed the image by grub2 went
silent at ExitBootServices and never reached the discovery action.
Enable ACPI, its error interfaces and the EFI stub the image is already
booted through. Rebuilt with these options, the same image on the same
firmware parses the RSDP, XSDT, FACP, DSDT, APIC, RHCT and SPCR tables,
reaches multi-user and starts discovering, and the kernel now also sees
the SMBIOS entry point the firmware exports.
