Re: [Xen-users] Debian domU installation problem: Invalid kernel
Andrey wrote:
Hi,
My configuration is the following:
Xen 3.3.1 compiled from sources(with PAE enabled)
Dom0 Debian Etch i386
I'm trying to create Debian domU from scratch with netinst and get the
kernel and ram disk to boot to installation procedure from install.386/
folder of netinst iso image. Then I use the following config file
debian.cfg for installation:
kernel = '/xen/kernel/install/vmlinuz'
ramdisk = '/xen/kernel/install/initrd.gz'
memory = '1024'
root = '/dev/xvda1 ro'
disk = [ 'tap:aio:/xen/domains/debian/debian.img,xvda,w']
name = 'debian'
vif = [ '' ]
vfb = [ 'type=vnc,vncunused=1' ]
on_poweroff = 'destroy'
on_reboot = 'restart'
on_crash = 'restart'
After running 'xm create /etc/xen/domu/install/debian' I get the error:
Using config file "/etc/xen/domu/install/debian".
Error: (2, 'Invalid kernel', 'elf_xen_note_check: ERROR: Will only load
images built for the generic loader or Linux images')
What is the problem? Xen can't recognize Debian kernel from netinst iso?
Also I've noted that there was a such problem with installing Fedora 11
in domU. It's netinst ISO have 2 versions of kernels non-PAE and PAE. In
the case of non-PAE kernel I got the same error. With PAE boot kernel
everything works fine.
I know that I can use xen-tools for creating domU but I want to try this
method.
Thanks.

Hi Andrey,
I guess your vmlinuz and initrd.gz were downloaded from /xen's debian
mirror, from somewhere like [1].
Also, take a look at .cfg file in that URL. It has some specific
variables needed for debian.
