Hi,
As far as i am aware 32bit domU on 64bit dom0 should be possible as of Xen 3.1.0 how it has to be setup to work i have no idea hopefully someone else can clarify that side of it.

Hi all!

I tried to virtualize a physical server (RedHat 3 AS, kernel 2.4, 32 bit) ). After dd the whole disk, using this conf file

name = "SERVER"
memory = "1024"
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/VMVG/BOG,sda,w', ]
kernel = "vmlinux-2.4.21-47.0.1.EL.xs0.4.0.25xenU"
ramdisk = "initrd-2.4.21-47.0.1.EL.xs0.4.0.25xenU.img"
vif = ['bridge=xenbr0' ]
vfb = ["type=vnc,vncunused=1"]
bootloader="/usr/bin/pygrub"
vcpus=1
on_reboot   = 'restart'
on_crash    = 'restart'

I have this error

ERROR: Kernel not a Xen-compatible Elf image.
ERROR: Error constructing guest OS

If my dom0 has a 64 bit kernel, can I boot 32 bit guests?
I think it's due to 64 bit compatibility.

What do you think?

Thanks,
Marco
