Re: [Xen-users] XEN 4.0.1 + pv_ops kernel DomU issues

Richie,

Well here is the command I use to build my initrd

mkinitrd -v -f --with=xen-netfront --with=xen-blkfront --preload=xen-blkfront --preload=xen-netfront /boot/initrd-2.6.32.24domU.img 2.6.32.24xen

And the command you suggested:

[root@vm linux-2.6-xen]# zcat /boot/initrd-2.6.32.24domU.img | cpio -it | grep xen
15665 blocks
lib/xen-netfront.ko
lib/xen-blkfront.ko

And the error still is coming up:

I'm sorry if this bothers anyone but I'm no developer and those cryptic kernel messages really leave me lost.

Thanks.


I see you have the following from early post of domU config:

kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32.24xen"
ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-2.6.18domU.img"

It's odd to see 2.6.18 initrd w/2.6.32.24 kernel. I assume you have since changed this to /boot/initrd-2.6.32.24domU.img?

At some point in time did you install this 2.6.32.24xen kernel within the domU? (or at least copied over the respective /lib/modules into it's filesystem? [haven't done the latter before i think u probably would need System.map as well).

Alternatively, does the disk.img filesystem have a kernel/initrd to which you can copy out (mount via loopback in dom0, using kpartx as needed) and try as well?
