Or please help me how can I reconfigure the debian uml images to work with Xen 3.0.2. dom0 is a gentoo linux with xen-sources on amd64 architect.

Does UML use a speciual file format? Henning _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

What are you trying to do with that image/how do you want tpo use it, and what''s the exact error message you are getting? 2) please don''t mail me personally about topics that should be handled on the list. I am not providing free personal support, and as far as possible, all topics should be handled on the list, so everybody can gain from the hints given there. (I tell it now in public, because that is a common mistake people make here).

I wouldn''t think you needed to convert them at all, Just follow xen''s instructions for booting of a filesystem in a file. --fess _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I don''t have a list to hand, but it should be just a case of trial an error to update things like the fstab file, /etc/inittab, etc. Steve -- _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
