Re: [XenPPC] DOM0 can not be set up

Hello,

According to the instructions in Xen wiki, Xen could not set up DOM0 guest OS(SLES10 SP1) when try it on JS20. Would you please help take a look it? Thanks a lot!

I think it is you yaboot.conf
(XEN) Dom0 has maximum 2 VCPUs
(XEN) elf_init: not an ELF binary
This is the key.
yaboot.conf:
-------------------------------------------------------------------

image = /boot/xen
label = xen
root = /dev/disk/by-id/ata-TOSHIBA_MK4019GAXB_93SK3653T-part3
initrd = /boot/zImage.initrd

ahh.. Xen will high-jack the initrd from yaboot and consider it as the dom0 image.
so you could have
image = /boot/xen
label = xen
root = /dev/disk/by-id/ata-TOSHIBA_MK4019GAXB_93SK3653T-part3
initrd = /boot/vmlinux-2.6.16.46-0.12-ppc64

assuming that this kernel is Xen capable.
but then you would have needed an initrd from somewhere.

This is a limitation of yaboot for Xen.
