Hi,

I'm trying to install xen3 over a FC5 linux system.
I had downloaded xen3 sources and built them with the following commands:
make world
make install

Then, I added the following lines to grub.conf -

title Xen 3.0
      root (hd0,3)
      kernel /boot/xen-3.0.gz dom0_mem=262144
      module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xen0 root=/dev/sda4 ro console=tty0

But I'm getting Error 15: file not found when trying to boot.
I saw that other people got this error as well but I couldn't resolved it...

Please advise me on how to solve this problem.

Thanks in advanced,
Eric.

*snaPP*

module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xen0 root=/dev/sda4 ro console=tty0

vs.

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Aug 31 10:18 vmlinuz-2.6-xen -> vmlinuz-2.6.16.13-xen

change it ...


or

ln -s /boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xen  /boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xen0

ln -s /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16.13-xen   /boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xen0

sounds better ;-)

Thanks!
Didn't notice that :)

Anyway, I just compiled the sources and follow the directions from the README file, so I guess it needs a little fix.

A little hard to find but take a look at http://wiki.xensource.com/ xenwiki/ InstallationNotes#head-64f7b0db4fee44809a97a827e92fa9ed27a732a8 (Miscellaneous Installation Notes) which discusses the -xen versus - xen0/xenU kernel. So I would caution against linking a -xen0 as it may cause you headaches in the future.

James
