[Xen-users] Information Request - domU configuration variables

["Norton, Jerry" <jnorton@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all, I’m new to Xen but with trial and error (and a lot of googling) I have a debian host server (dom0) working with a debian guest server (domU).  My big thing I struggled with was trying to get the domU to boot from an .iso or a cd-rom so I can setup different OS’s.  Like I said, I managed to get things working but know I’m trying to understand what I did and what changed. 

 

In my searching I found some people listed their config files with:

kernel = ‘/path/vmlinuz-2.6.18-5-xen-686

builder = ‘linux’

 

and others with:

                kernel = ‘/path/hvmloader

builder = ‘hvm’

                device_model = ‘/path/qemu-dm’

 

My searching only seems to bring up hits of posted configurations.  Does anyone have any links to information explaining the different between these two values and when/why you would use them?  Sorry for the amateur questions.  I’m just trying to get a better handle on everything.

 

Thanks,  

Jerry Norton
