[Xen-users] GRUB configuration on Debian xen.deb istallations
I''m trying to install XEN on Debian Sarge... i see that debian have a XEN pakage.... if i''m going to install xen.deb it install all pakages needed (twisted/python ecc)... well... istallation is finished succesfully.... now i think i must modify GRUB configuration to run XEN i see into users'' manual - 2.4.1 GRUB Configuration it propose that example title xen 2.0/XenLinux 2.6 kenel /boot/xen-2.0.gz dom0_mem=131072 module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xen0 root=/dev/sda4 ro console=tty0 after istallation i found into /boot dir the file xen.gz (and symbolic link as xen-2.0.gz etc.) but i haven''t found a file as vmlinuz-xen or similar... i have only the original vmlinuz and initrd file How i must configue Grub to start XEN? i made something wrong in configuration step? thanks Michele _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

You didn''t do a $make bzimage $make install 2. You didn''t edit the Makefile of the Xen domain 0 kernel source tree.I think since the kernel version in the source tree is not mentioned and thats why it is overwriting the original vmlinuz* and system.map Just take the timestamps of the files to be sure. ~$ubh _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

The Debian packages don''t include pre-built kernels, so you''ll need to build one separately. I seem to remember there being some patches for a Debianised XenLinux but I don''t have any details.
