Re: [Xen-users] Suse on FC4-Xen

["Claris Castillo" <ccastil@xxxxxxxx>]

Jonathan, thnaks for your reply!

Are you talking about makinitrd rpm in CD1? 

I have looked for inst-initrd but it seems is generated?

 

I have Xen3 based on FC4. I have domains running on FC4. Creating FC4 domains was pretty straight forward (creating an image, installing FC4 on the image with yum, etcc There was good documentation on this). However I have never used Suse before but I am sure I can learn pretty fast.  There is any simlar procedure to intsall Suse on an image file as FC4?  Is there any BASE installation?  Could you give me a brief of how should I proceed?

 

I am emaling you outside the list BUT I will post the solution as soon as I make it work.

 

Thanks

Not sure about the FC supplied utilities for configuring and starting new
DomUs, but with SUSE - presumably you're talking about either SUSE Linux 10.1
or SLES 10 - the XEN enabled kernel  is called:
vmlinuz-2.6.16.16-1.6-xen and is part of the kernel-xen RPM

You'll also need an initrd which can be extracted from the
mkinst-initrd RPM on CD4 - the file you're looking for is called inst-initrd.

I can send along my initial installation xen config file for SLES10 if you
want (it's not very complex though)

Hope this helps,
Jon
