[Xen-devel] xen-1.2 again

[I RATTAN <rattan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am not having any luck with xen-1.2 install from CD.

1. I tried it on Vector-linux-4.0 by copying xen.gz, xenolinux.gz
and initrd.gz to /boot, made a grub floppy to boot it as:

title xen/xenolinux
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=131072 noht nosmp noreboot
        module /boot/xenolinux.gz root=/dev/hda1 ro console=tty0
        module /boot/initrd.gz

system boots but has problems with /dev entries for fd0, cdrom etc
(same thing that I see under Mandrake-9.1), keeps on saying that
it not a block special device (ls -l /dev/fd0 does the entry with
b in forst column).

So I decided to install Fedora-1 core (minimali install) and tried the
same thing as above and now the boot process keeps on trying to
find and mount CD-ROM (trying hda, hdb, hdc, hdd..) quits to shell
prompt. Looks like it is beacause fo xenolinux.gz (same is used to
boot from cdrom..).

Can I get a working (not for cd-boot) xenolinux.gz: minimal config
of IDE disk and cdrom (is fine by me)?

There was mention of making xen work with Debian? What is involved?
I may have time on my hands after first week of May..
