[Xen-users] solaris domU on ubuntu dom0

[Anatol Ulrich <anatol@xxxxxxxxx>]

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.htm 
, 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
