Hi *, i''m using xen 3.0.3 (istalled from source) on Debian Etch The latest kernel seems to be the 2.6.16.29. Unfortunately, I need the 2.6.18 in order to boot from a new raid controller. Is there a solution? (the debian version of the xen kernel doesn''t boot) -- Davide Corio davide.corio<at>redomino.com Redomino S.r.l.

Hello I would like to ask you: how you did it? :) I am pretty new to debian. I tried to do it 2 times day ago and failed. I have pretty new hardware - core 2 duo e6600 @ i965g and with 2.6.16 kernel is it little bit problematic.>From this is site: http://mirror.home-dn.net/d-i/ i downloaded updatedinstall iso witch I was able to boot and install on my machine finaly. It uses 2.6.19 kernel. Apt-get soucers are also from backport.org Xen from backports is 3.0 only. So I tried change sources to unstable. Than appeared hypervisor 2.6.18.-2 and linux image xen. Installation was pretty easy while I was following this how-to: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/423 and simply changed only the hv and kernel image version. Everything went ok until reboot. When trying to reboot I realized that grub menu is correct updated but the images are in wrong place (am using separate /boot partition) so after correction from /boot/xen-3.0.3.gz to /xen-3.0.3.gz and correcting also other 2 lines bellow in same way I finaly booted the kernel. But than occured problem - kernel stoped with statement there is no root mount point anf (sysramfs)..... Ok I reseted and wanted to investigate the problem from classic kernel. But It was not bootable anymore and kernel booting end with same/similar error and sysramfs.... So completly stuck. I dont know what I am doing bad. Please I would like to ask you for help. Can you send me how you did it to install 2.6.18 xen on debian? How looks out your apt-sources? Sysramfs is it in some way in connection with initrd.img? The last thing. My system is sw raid 1 on two disks....4 partition... /boot swap / lvm2 for guest So once more...dont you know what I am doing wrong? Your help will be greatly apreciated.

In particular you have to use this version of kernel: 2.6.18-3 The previuos one (2.6.18-1, 2.6.18-2) didn''t boot. -- Davide Corio davide.corio<at>redomino.com Redomino S.r.l.
