Re: [Xen-users] Ubuntu 7.x and 8x as Xen Guest OS

["a s p a s i a" <aspasia.sf@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello there,

I sort of tried the steps below, and still have a bit of an issue ...
I also posted in the Ubuntu forum .....

Wanted to list the steps, just in case anyone running Ubuntu on a domU
may have some recommendations.

===========

I have:  dom0 - Centos 5.1
I would like to install Ubuntu hardy as a domU.  The only Ubuntu
version I can install properly with no problem is dapper (6.06).

What I have done so far:

1.  Install dapper as DomU (using the virt-install Xen CLI tool)
2.  Upgrade dapper - using Ubuntu instructions to upgrade.
3.  Dapper is upgraded successfully to a kernel:  2.6.15-51-amd64-generic
4.  I tried to upgrade to 8.04 - gksu "update-manager -c"
5.  The long process completed successfully and I rebooted.
6.  Upon reboot the new kernel was stuck - and would not boot - it
seems like it is unable to load the virtual HDisks driver

7.  I found this thread and downloaded the kernel and installed via:
dpkg -i <file>

8.  It generated the kernels:
vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-xen

and initrd image:
initrd.img-2.6.24-19-xen

9.  Attempt to boot, I am unable to successfully boot - process pauses
with the error:

"Error 13: ... unsupported executable format" ... (indicates the xen kernel) "

Am I missing something from the above steps?

please advise.

Best,

Aspasia.
