Re: [Xen-users] Debian domU installation problem: Invalid kernel

 I copied them from downloaded debian-503-i386-netinst.iso in install.386

Hi,
My configuration is the following:
Xen 3.3.1 compiled from sources(with PAE enabled)
Dom0 Debian Etch i386
I'm trying to create Debian domU from scratch with netinst and get the 
kernel and ram disk to boot to installation procedure from 
install.386/ folder of netinst iso image. Then I use the following 
config file debian.cfg for installation: 
kernel      = '/xen/kernel/install/vmlinuz'
ramdisk     = '/xen/kernel/install/initrd.gz'
memory      = '1024'
root        = '/dev/xvda1 ro'
disk        = [ 'tap:aio:/xen/domains/debian/debian.img,xvda,w']
name        = 'debian'
vif         = [ '' ]
vfb = [ 'type=vnc,vncunused=1' ]
on_poweroff = 'destroy'
on_reboot   = 'restart'
on_crash    = 'restart'
After running 'xm create /etc/xen/domu/install/debian' I get the error:
Using config file "/etc/xen/domu/install/debian".
Error: (2, 'Invalid kernel', 'elf_xen_note_check: ERROR: Will only 
load images built for the generic loader or Linux images') 
What is the problem? Xen can't recognize Debian kernel from netinst iso?
Also I've noted that there was a such problem with installing Fedora 
11 in domU. It's netinst ISO have 2 versions of kernels non-PAE and 
PAE. In the case of non-PAE kernel I got the same error. With PAE boot 
kernel everything works fine. 
I know that I can use xen-tools for creating domU but I want to try 
this method. 
Thanks.

Hi Andrey,
I guess your vmlinuz and initrd.gz were downloaded from /xen's debian 
mirror, from somewhere like [1].
Also, take a look at .cfg file in that URL. It has some specific 
variables needed for debian.
