Re: [Xen-users] vanilla kernel and xen (in general), vanilla 2.6.24 and

Hi Emre,

thanks for your response.

Do I understand correctly that no special option is needed in the configuration? I asking, because I have already tried a kernel in version 2.6.24, but I got the error:

Error: (2, 'Invalid kernel', 'xc_dom_find_loader: no loader found\n')

Cheers

Jan

Hi Jan, just look at other PV domU example configuration files. Steps:

1) Make sure you have the necessary modules in your initrd specific to this
2.6.24 kernel. (if you need)
2) Have the kernel and the initrd somewhere on your filesystem
3) Make sure your DomU config file has the correct filenames for
kernel&initrd and the DomU disk file exists (or physical disk)
4) boot your DomU

You may need to copy the new kernel's modules from Dom0
/lib/modules/2.6.24-x-y-z to /lib/modules folder of the DomU, chroot to DomU
filesystem rooot and do a depmod. You can do this step inside the DomU also,
after you boot into your new DomU. This step may not be necessary if there
are no drivers that are needed for your DomU.

Hope it's clear,

Br,

Emre

What do I have to do to get a kernel in version 2.6.24 working as domU?
I am not able to find the correct options. Any hints would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Jan
