Re: [Xen-users] xen Installation through YUM

[kishore kumar <bodkekumar@xxxxxxxxx>]

Now I am able to do  yum install kernel-xen xen.

 

I can see the xen Images sitting in /boot directory.  Its xen-3.4.2.gz and xen.gz.

 

Is this what to be expected ? 

 

I changed the grub.conf file to boot with Xen as below

 

title Fedora (2.6.31.9-174.fc12.x86_64)

       root(hd0,0)

       kernel /xen-3.4.2.gz

      

My question is I dont see vmlinuz-2.6-xen0 in /boot directory. 

 

Do I need to add this line module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xen0 ???  But I dont see this file .When we do yum to insall xen, will it also install vmlinuz-2.6-xen0 also ??

 

Any idea what went wrong here??

 

thanks

BK
