Re: [Xen-users] Re: How to upgrade to Xen 4.0.1 on Centos 5.5 ?

[Bob Sauvage <bob.sauvage@xxxxxx>]

Does someone have a step by step tutorial to upgrade Xen to 4.0.1 with the last kernel on CentOS 5.5 please ?

I followed this tutorial : http://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/Xen4.0?highlight=%28xen%29|%284.0%29

hg clone -r RELEASE-4.0.1 http://xenbits.xen.org/xen-4.0-testing.hg
cd xen-4.0-testing.hg
make xen
make tools
make stubdom
make install-xen
make install-tools
make install-stubdom
make world => to compile the new kernel

What do I do after this ? Excuse me for my stupid question but it's the first time I compile a kernel.

I tried :

make install
mkinitrd -f /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32   2.6.32

But I have some errors about "No module xxx found for kernel 2.6.32.21, aborting."
I spent this step with : --builtin="ehci-hcd" --builtin="ohci-hcd" --builtin="uhci-hcd" --builtin="sata_nv" --builtin="usb-storage"

After I modified my grub.con but my server doesn't boot...

Thanks a lot for your help !

Run :-
# man mkinitrd
there should be option like "--ignore-missing"

I noticed this error ;) ! Thanks.

But when I launch mkinitrd -f /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32.21   2.6.32.21
I have this error :

No module ehci-hcd found for kernel 2.6.32.21, aborting.

mkinitrd -f /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32   2.6.32

Hello Khris,

Thanks a lot for your proposal !

I tried to upgrade it last week without success.

I follow this "howto" : http://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/Xen4.0?highlight=%28xen%29|%284.0%29

I downloaded the source package.

cd xen-4.0
make xen
make tools
make stubdom
make install-xen
make install-tools
make install-stubdom
make world => To download and compile the new kernel 2.6.32.x

When it's over, in my /boot directory I have the xen-4.0.1.gz, the vmlinux-.2.6.32 but not the initrd.img-2.6.32 ?

I never compiled a kernel myself...

Have a nice day ;)

It's not very hard to compile Xen for Centos 5.5, I did it last week using
xen 4.0.1 and  2.6.32.21 pv_op dom0 kernel. Let me know if you need any
help.
