Thread-topic: [Xen-users] Fedora 6 DomU creation problem
Tim (and the rest).

I think I have a fair understanding now.  I'd like to say thanks for all
of the help.  Here is basically what I have done to this point.  

I have a Fedora 6 x32 server.  It was a full install.  Fully virtualized
works fine.  I had already downloaded the jailtime images.

I went to http://www.xensource.com/download/dl_303tarballs.html and
downloaded the 32bit PAE SMP files, extracted those and used the boot
kernel from that for the DomU's for jailtime.  I also copied the /lib
(from the same package) to the jailtime kernels.

So far everything seems to be working fine.  Some of our stuff will need
to remain fully virt until we can do some extensive testing.

Did I go about it correctly (i.e. was this the better approach)?

Something else of note, given the information above I can't get the
jailtime images to work when I use tap:aio:.  I have to use file:.  

I do like the jailtime configs but they are a little lean.  I'll
probably add some items to it while testing.

Gary
