[Xen-users] Error installing Xen on Xen 64 bit 2-CPU Intel-Xeon under SLED 10

["Kevin Wells" <Kevin.Wells@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

new to Xen, we want to try it out on one of our workstations. The installation 
runs ok using the tarball xen-3.0.4.4_1-install-x86_64.tar and running the 
provided install.sh. 

However we are unable to create the xen initrd ramdisk image. We get the 
following:

asfde-ht5wn2j:/software/sources/xen/dist64bit/dist # ./install.sh
Installing Xen from './install' to '/'...
- installing for udev-based system

All done.

or directory
No '/' mountpoint specified in /boot/initrd-2.6.16.33-xen/etc/fstab
asfde-ht5wn2j:/software/sources/xen/dist64bit/dist # 


In other words, everything seems to be going ok up to the point where we run 
mkinitrd to create the ramdisk image. I dont understand why it returns this 
strange message: 

/sbin/mkinitrd: line 2965: /boot/initrd-2.6.16.33-xen/etc/fstab: No such file 
or directory
No '/' mountpoint specified in /boot/initrd-2.6.16.33-xen/etc/fstab
asfde-ht5wn2j:/software/sources/xen/dist64bit/dist # 

Has anyone else come across this problem? Any ideas as to how we can solve it? 

The workstation in question is a 64bit 2-CPU Intel-Xeon 3Ghz with 8GB RAM 
running SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop Version 10.


Thanks in advance!
