The problem with doing it that way is that
the FC5 HowTo (and the included script) is only for FC5, it doesn’t apply
to, and doesn’t work, with FC4.
This is because the FC4 boot-image isn’t compatible with Xen,
where the FC5 boot-image is. I tried and
tried and tried for 3 weeks to get it to work the “right” way, and
then finally did it the way my cousin suggested I do it in the first place (the
way that is outlined in my walkthrough).
If you want to do it via a walkthrough, you’ll have to do half of
it to the FC5 walkthrough (the dom0 half) and half with the FC4 walkthrough
(the domU part). BUT, that means, that
you can’t use that script to make your domU image for you… as that
script was written to work with FC5.

Subject: Re: [Xen-users] FC4 domU
on FC5
Thanks for the reply. However, I'm trying to adhere as closely as
possible to the original Fedora HOWTO. One thing worth mentioning that I
did leave out of my original post: I'm using the built-in Xen package
that comes with FC5, which can be activated using 'yum install
kernel-xen0'. Hope this helps.

Well look at it this day, this is either a crappy day for
you, or your lucky day, depending on how good my documentation was. I'm
still very new with Xen, but I have been messing around with several different
setups, and the most recent one is exactly what you just said you needed, a FC4
domU on a FC5 dom0. And with luck, that's the one that I used to
document the entire process so I could easily refer back to it later.

It's not much of a site, literally my own notes that I made
for myself, but hopefully you'll be able to make sense out of it too.
Also I noted in here how I got NAT to work through Xen.
I was going to post this in reply to a few NAT related questions once I'm sure
I have all the bugs worked out of that, I'm still messing with the firewall
rules. The entire Xen setup is working perfectly though.
If anyone else who knows what they're doing with Xen could
look through it and maybe give a few pointers or corrections that would be cool
too.

Hi
all. This has been mentioned once before on this list, with no resolution
that I could find. I'm trying to make a domU with FC4 running under a FC5
dom0. Following the instructions located at http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraXenQuickstart ,
xen produces these errors:
[root@localhost
xen]# xm create -c cpanel
Using config file "cpanel".
Error: Error creating domain: (22, 'Invalid argument')

And from

This is
my conf file /etc/xen/cpanel :
[root@localhost
xen]# cat /etc/xen/cpanel
kernel ="/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4xenU"
memory = 196
name = "cpanel"
disk = ['file:/root/cpanel.img,sda1,w']
root = "/dev/sda1"
extra = "ro selinux=0 3"
[root@localhost
xen]#
I have
tried this with both the kernel mentioned above, as well as the latest 2.6.13
kernel for FC4xenU. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
