I got a paravirt OpenSolaris domU running on an FC6 dom0 a while back, but
that was for a much older release.  I had downloaded "snv44-domU.tar.bz2"
and after extraction is was fairly easy to figure out how to get things
working.  Plus that was a non-PAE OpenSolaris kernel, so it wouldn't run on
my Xen 3.1 install which is PAE-only.

First thing I'd look for is errors in the /var/log/xen logs (xend.log,
xend-debug.log).

Also, have you looked at this:

Subject: [Xen-users] solaris domU on ubuntu dom0

Hello,

my dom0 is ubuntu feisty (32bit).
I want to create a domU to install solaris from the "Solaris Xen Update
OpenSolaris Drop (July 2007)" iso dvd image (available at
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/xen/downloads-0707/ ) However, when
I try to create a config according to
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/xen/docs/install-solaris-domu-iso.ht
m
, this happens:

# xm create solaris-install.cfg
Using config file "solaris-install.cfg".
Error: No kernel specified


Obviously I'm missing a kernel = ... line, however I wasn't able to find out
what exactly to put there.
I tried mounting the iso image, copying mnt/boot/platform/i86xpv/kernel/unix
to my dom0's FS and boot the domU with that kernel, this however leads to

[2007-08-24 16:40:35 xend 4390] INFO (XendDomain:370) Domain solaris-install
(5) unpaused.
[2007-08-24 16:40:35 xend.XendDomainInfo 4390] WARNING
(XendDomainInfo:880) Domain has crashed: name=solaris-install id=5.


my domU config is:
name = "solaris-install"
memory = "1024"
disk = [ 'file:/home/ace/images/solaris-xen-2007-07-dvd.iso,6:cdrom,r',
'file:/var/local/xen/domains/susi/boot.img,0,w',
'file:/var/local/xen/domains/susi/disk.img,1,w' ] vif = [
'mac=00:00:00:31:37:02' ] # kernel from mounted iso #kernel = '/tmp/unix'
on_shutdown = 'destroy'
on_reboot = 'destroy'
on_crash = 'destroy'



How can I make things work?

Cheers,

Anatol
