I just built it from source and then installed the built RPM from
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS. It worked a treat; no more crashes with 32bit DomUs in a
64bit Dom0 :D
UxBoD,
Thanks for this advice; it worked nicely, with only a couple of hiccups:
1. Had the same trouble another poster in this thread had with the
hvmloader going in the wrong place, or not being picked up by the %files
section, anyway. Hvmloader is actually a statically-linked, 32-bit ELF
executable, so it's unclear whether it should go by itself in
/usr/lib/xen/boot or with the other 64-bit stuff in
/usr/lib64/xen/boot. I opted for the latter, since it's cleaner, but
don't forget to fix your hvm domU config files ('kernel =
"/usr/lib64/xen/boot/hvmloader"'). See the patch below. Alternatively,
you could put a %if condition to test the arch to fix the %files section.
2. The RPM doesn't fix /etc/grub.conf; be sure to go in there and make
sure that the 'kernel' command references the new xen.gz-3.2 image
installed with the new xen package instead of the old one installed with
the kernel-xen RPM, eg.:
title CentOS-newxen (2.6.18-53.1.13.el5xen)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /xen.gz-3.2 dom0_mem=262144
module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.1.13.el5xen ro root=/dev/dom0/root
module /initrd-2.6.18-53.1.13.el5xen.img
Thanks again.
John
