Hi,

I have a problem with my SLES10 xen system...I'm using xen 3.04.
ok...first I created a debian guest system with debootstrap, i worked
well by using this configuration:
ok now my second question. I WOULD LIKE TO USE THE DEBIAN KERNEL :).

I tried to install the xen fixed kernel via apt on the machine. now i
tried to install grub but it didn't worked (i tried to edit the
device.map manually for /dev/xvda/ but it didnt worked). Does
everbody know how its possible to run a debian xen kernel on a SLES10
dom0?

You should be aware that Debian i586 32 bit kernels only seem to have the PAE variant available and this will not boot if you have installed a non-PAE kernel within the SLES 10 Dom0. If you are running 32 bit PAE or 64 bit x86_64 then you should be able to get the normal Debian kernel to boot.

its quite funny because sles 10 does not have any pygrub, the only way to create vms is the domUloader. yesterday I tried had some idea but i dont know if this is a good or a worse idea maybe you can give my some feedback.

ok i thought maybe its possible to create a block device with dd (the normal way). than create a partition table on it and create some partitions with filesystem on it. afterwards to mount this first partition an do the installation stuff with debootstrap.....like i told you i created a partition table...and now its possible to install grub on the block-device, which can start and load the normal xen fixed kernel from debian....

what do you think? a worse idea or a good idea ^^

regards marcus
