[Xen-users] Is it possible to run two or more multiboot linux installations on a single drive using Xen.
Hi all, I have a multiboot configuration with 2 linuxes using grub as a boot loader. Both are working installations independently of Xen. I have installed Xen kernels on both systems. I want to boot one of the two systems as Domain 0, and the other as Domain 1 so that I can run the two systems simultaneously. Is this possible? If so, how? If not, why not. TIA, nb a domU kernel from a different partition than the one on which dom0 resides? _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I think you want run 1st partition as Domain0 and 2nd partition as XenU (guest). The answer is yes. XenU doesn''t need boot loader, right? So what you need to do is to use physical device as the disk configuration for xenU. For example: disk = [ ''phy:/dev/hda2, hda2, w'' ] root = "/dev/hda2 ro" The 2nd partition''s domU kernel is okay, if your Dom0 can access it and be compatible with it.
