Re: [Xen-users] kernel 2.6.18

["Peter Braun" <xenware@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello

I would like to ask you: how you did it? :)

I am pretty new to debian. I tried to do it 2 times day ago and failed.

I have pretty new hardware - core 2 duo e6600 @ i965g and with 2.6.16 kernel is it little bit problematic.

From this is site: http://mirror.home-dn.net/d-i/    i downloaded updated install iso witch I was
able to boot and install on my machine finaly. It uses 2.6.19 kernel.
Apt-get soucers are also from backport.org

Xen from backports is 3.0 only. So I tried change sources to unstable. Than appeared
hypervisor 2.6.18.-2 and linux image xen.

Installation was pretty easy while I was following this how-to: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/423 and
simply changed only the hv and kernel image version.

Everything went ok until reboot.

When trying to reboot I realized that grub menu is correct updated but the images are in wrong place (am using separate /boot partition)
so after correction from /boot/xen-
3.0.3.gz to /xen-3.0.3.gz and correcting also other 2 lines bellow in same way I finaly
booted the kernel.

But than occured problem - kernel stoped with statement there is no root mount point anf (sysramfs).....
Ok I reseted and wanted to investigate the problem from classic kernel. But It was not bootable anymore and kernel booting end with
same/similar error and sysramfs.... So completly stuck.

I dont know what I am doing bad. Please I would like to ask you for help.
Can you send me how you did it to install 2.6.18 xen on debian?
How looks out your apt-sources?
Sysramfs is it in some way in connection with initrd.img?

The last thing. My system is sw raid 1 on two disks....4 partition...

/boot
swap
/
lvm2 for guest 

So once more...dont you know what I am doing wrong?

Your help will be greatly apreciated.


Best regards

Peter Braun

I just tried the 3.0.3 version of debian packages and now they work fine
