Re: [Xen-users] pata_jmicron and Xen 3.1

I’m trying to install Xen 3.1 by following the extremely good directions at _http://www.xensource.com/files/xen_install_windows.pdf_ but I’m running into an error. I get through the instructions up to the step “/sbin/mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-xen.img 2.6.18-xen” but when I try to execute this command I get an error: “No module pata_jmicron found for kernel 2.6.18-xen, aborting.”3.fc

This is because kernel-2.6.18-xen doesn't have this module available and your system requires this module to boot. /proc/modules shows this module available because the Fedora 8 kernel (2.6.23-8-63.fc8) has this module by default. If you want the above mkinitrd command to work, comment out "pata_jmicron" related line from /etc/modprobe.conf, but you can't boot your system with the resulting initrd.

I don't know why you are trying to compile everything from source. Better you use the default xen packages provided with f8. Just execute "yum kernel-xen xen". That is all required.

I’m using Fedora 8 (2.6.23.8-63.fc8) and Xen 3.1.0.
Here’s the output of /cat /proc/modules/ which shows that pata_jmicron is available:
