Thread-topic: [Xen-users] Xen and OpenSSI
Ok, I tried from scratch again and here's where I got to.....

When I run 'mkinitrd -o /tmp/initrd', I get

cpio: initrd/lib/libc.so.6 not created: newer or same age version exists
cpio: initrd/lib/libcluster.so.0 not created: newer or same age version
exists
4584+0 records in
4584+0 records out
4694016 bytes transferred in 0.291641 seconds (16095183 bytes/sec) All
of your loopback devices are in use!

And initrd is created in the /tmp directory

If I run 'modprobe loop' I get

modprobe: Can't open dependencies file
/lib/modules/2.6.11-ocxenu/modules.dep (No such file or directory)

So it looks like you were all correct and the problem is initrd
creation!!!

I'm afraid I've always avoided kernel building, so this is all a bit new
to me. Any ideas how I get the initrd created?

Just so you know it works, it does :) as I was able to get OpenSSI
running
under XEN 2.0.7. I know I had the same issue as you are seeing and I'm
trying to remember what I did.

I think it has to do with the initrd not being created correctly. My
OpenSSI/Xen config looks like:

name="openssi1"
memory=128
kernel="/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-xenU-openssi"
ramdisk="/boot/initrd-deb-xen-openssi2"
nics=1
vif = ['mac=AA:00:00:18:98:FB']
disk=['file:/opt/xen-images/deb_openssi2,sda1,w','file:/opt/xen-images/d
eb_openssi1_swap,sda2,w']
root="/dev/sda1 ro"
