Re: [Xen-users] I upgraded, now vms won't start
 
Quoting Simon Hobson <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:
 
I'm guessing you've been booting the guest using a Dom0 kernel/initrd.
The problem here is that the initrd in particular will be set up for
the Dom0 and may or may not be particularly well setup for a DomU.
Since i figured this out, I've been using either pygrub, or copying the
kernel/initrd from the guest, so that I can boot each guest with a
kernel/initrd built for that specific guest. Well the kernels are stock
Debian kernels, but the initrds are specific to the guest.

 Yes Simon, I think you are right.  The others were saying pretty much  
the same thing too.  According to the wiki (4 or 5 years ago), using  
the domU kernel was the way to do this.  We were actually instructed  
to do so in that resource.  Even though it may be a more bloated  
kernel, I liked the simplicity of the idea.  I just went with what I  
knew from there... the new wiki doesn't say not to, and the machine I  
updated the other day didn't have these same problems that my server  
did yesterday, so I wasn't sure what was causing what.
Thanks.
