Re: Fw: [Xen-users] Jailtime image problem - debian 4.0

The Centos 5.1 image from jailtime is identical - nothing in /boot,

there's something special about 'vmlinuz-2.6-xen', but the website
says nothing about it.
After some Googling, it looks like this kernel may be installed in
the dom0 /boot by one of the Xen RPMs, or by a download from
XenSource. I'll try to give this a go over the w/end.
As always with Xen, it's irritatingly easy when you know how, and next
to impossible when you don't.
The jailtime images assume that you've built your system from the Xen
sources, but you have to work that out for yourself. 'vmlinuz-2.6-xen'
is the standard combined Dom0/DomU kernel produced by the build
process, and links to vmlinuz-2.6.18-xen in 3.1. Of course, these
files don't exist in Fedora, and the Fedora Dom0 Xen kernel can't be
used to boot a guest.
I downloaded the 3.1 binaries from
http://xen.org/download/dl_31tarballs.html, and created
'/boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xen' as a symlink to
'dist/install/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-xen' in the distribution files. Now,
of course, the Debian 4.0 and Centos 5.1 jailtime images boot up
immediately, with no config file changes, and no ramdisk line.

Ok, so what you're saying is that I won't be able to use jailtime images
on a vanilla CentOS 5.1 + Xen 3.1 (from CentOS repositories)? Is there
any way at all to use it in this way?
