Ah, didn't know this ...
I tried to install Debian using the network installer image containing a
kernel and an initrd. Because I didn't know whether I need to have kernel
modules in the Debian domU initrd I copied /lib/modules/2.6.18-xen/ from
OpenSuse 10.2 (dom0) into the initrd.
(Now I think I understand that I have to provide each domU software
modules such as ext2, ext3, ... and a few XEN specific modules such as
xennet but no modules for raw hardware access (usb-ohci, eth drivers ...),
right? Is this documented somewhere?)
I did this step (extenting initrd) multiple times (using:
# mkdir initrd
# cat ../debian-installer/i386/initrd | cpio --extract --make-directories
# cp -r /lib/modules/2.6.18-xen/ lib/modules/
# find | cpio -o -H newc | gzip -9 > ../initrd.gz
) so I really doubt that I did something wrong.
Exactly the same steps worked with Xen 3.1 (at least after switching to
NAT instead of bridge as my network was completely inaccessible with Xen
3.1).
Sorry, I don't want to reinstall the Xen 3.0 RPMs as I have it currently
working but maybe OpenSuse RPMs are not working? It is unlikely as I
searched for similar trouble without success.
Thanks,
Jens
