Hello,

I want to build and use an own kernel in DomU.
I get the kernel-xs-xen/kernel-2.6.16.38-xs3.2.0.531.3960.src.rpm from the source1 iso and compile it. Because of (unsolved) troubles with mkinitrd I try a build without mkinitrd. I configure /boot/grub/menu.lst within my DomU and restart it. But the old, original, kernel will be started.

How to configure the Dom0 and/or DomU that DomU will start with my customized kernel?

Thanks in advance
Matthias
Are you using full virtualization, or para-virtualization? If you're using para-virtualization, the DomU kernel must be in place on the *Dom0*, along with its mkinitrd compiled from the /etc/modprobe.conf contents. The DomU need only have the contents of the /lib/modules/[kernel-name], although the full kernel is useful for reference purposes.

If you're using para-virtualization, you're not using grub at all on the DomU and may as well "rpm -e grub" on it to avoid confusion.
