Re: [Xen-users] where is the kernel?

Hi Fabian,

yes I mean DomU,

as you said
> The kernels are read from Dom0.

so there is no need to install the kernel package in domU the 
linux-modules package is enought.
To configure Dom0 and DomU kernel I did the following steps and they 
worked for me.
in Dom0 I installed

linux-image-2.6.26-2-xen-amd64 package

then I put this 2 values in xen-domU.config file for example:

kernel  = '/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-xen-amd64'
ramdisk = '/boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-xen-amd64'

next i installed the linux-modules package in domU.

Thats all.

Alex
