[Xen-devel] Xen 3.3 unstable on OpenSUSE 10.3 - initrd problem
Folks, Mercurial is selectable as an installation in OpenSUSE 10.3 YAST. I have: hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-unstable.hg hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg make dist sh ./install.sh It appears to have installed properly, but it has not created the required module /boot/initrd-2.6-xen.img. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Re: [Xen-devel] Xen 3.3 unstable on OpenSUSE 10.3 - initrd problem
This is probably the wrong list for such a question - future usage questions should be directed to xen-user Take a look at the README file. It will describe how to generate an initrd in section 5: 5. To rebuild a kernel with a modified config: # make linux-2.6-xen-config CONFIGMODE=menuconfig (or xconfig) # make linux-2.6-xen-build # make linux-2.6-xen-install Depending on your config, you may need to use ''mkinitrd'' to create an initial ram disk, just like a native system e.g. # depmod 2.6.18-xen # mkinitrd -v -f --with=aacraid --with=sd_mod --with=scsi_mod initrd-2.6.18-xen.img 2.6.18-xen Other systems may requires the use of ''mkinitramfs'' to create the ram disk. # depmod 2.6.18-xen # mkinitramfs -o initrd-2.6.18-xen.img 2.6.18-xen Bill Morris wrote on 07/07/2008 12:35 PM:> Folks, > > Mercurial is selectable as an installation in > OpenSUSE 10.3 YAST. > > I have: > > hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-unstable.hg > hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg > > make dist > sh ./install.sh > > It appears to have installed properly, but it has not created > the required module /boot/initrd-2.6-xen.img. > > Any help will be greatly appreciated. > > Bill Morris > > Bill Morris (bill_morris@ncsu.edu) > Operations and Systems Analyst > Campus Novell Services > Office of Information Technology > North Carolina State University > 2620 Hillsborough Street > Raleigh, NC 27695-7209 > (919) 513-1800 > > > _______________________________________________ > Xen-devel mailing list > Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com > http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel >_______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
