Re: [Xen-users] How to turn a machine running Centos from HV to PV?

The Xen Live CD teachs how to do that easily! 
 
 
 
 
- Example of how to convert Linux virtual machines from HVM to PVM. With the new paravirt_ops, this can be done smoothly.

Hello, 
 
really new to CentOS, I need a VM running CentOS. Right now, it is 
running in full virtualized mode, but I want to switch to 
paravitualization. 
What I did: 
yum install kernel-xen 
Changed menu.lst to boot xen kernel per default 
 
My configuration in dom0 (OpenSuse): 
 
name="centos5" 
uuid="6e50b775-3b29-f38a-610d-9368dda96dd1" 
memory=1536 
maxmem=1536 
vcpus=1

localtime=0 
keymap="de" 
builder="linux" 
bootloader="/usr/lib/xen/boot/domUloader.py" 
bootargs="--entry=xvda1:/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-164.15.1.el5xen,/boot/initrd-2.6.18-164.15.1.el5xen.img" 
extra=" " 
disk=[ 'phy:/dev/xen/centos5,hda,w', ] 
vif=[ 'bridge=br1,model=rtl8139', ] 
vfb=['type=vnc,vncunused=1'] 
 
If I want to boot the VM, the lat 5 lines from the console output are 
these: 
 
SCSI subsystem initialized 
device-mapper: uevent: version 1.0.3 
device-mapper: ioctl: 4.11.5-ioctl (2007-12-12) initialised: dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx 
device-mapper: dm-raid45: initialized v0.2594l 
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! 
 
Any hint is appreciated, 
 
Rainer
