Xen users - Aug 2007 - xen and software raid and some other questions

I got boot problems using xen-hypervisor-3.0.3-1-i386 and 
xen-linux-system-2.6.18-5-xen-vserver-686. dom0 interrupt the boot process.

It''s a amd 64 3200+ maschine and I don''t need pae or smp
support an etch.

That I''ve installed:
apt-get install linux-image-2.6-xen-vserver-686 
xen-hypervisor-3.0.3-1-i386 xen-tools 
xen-linux-system-2.6.18-5-xen-vserver-686 linux-headers-2.6-xen-vserver-686



Questions:

1. I suppose the xen kernel doesn''t support software raid. Right and
how
do I get it?

2. I don''t understand the difference between
xen-linux-system-2.6.18-5-xen-vserver-686
and
xen-linux-system-2.6.18-5-xen-686
What the difference?

3. Does the software raid works with an other xen kernel version?

4. During the automatik etch kernel installation  a script overides the 
grub/menu.list. So It is nessesary to change the device path from 
/dev/hda3 to dev/md1 (software raid). It is possible to change the path 
to software raid and where is that script located?

Yes I''m using Software RAID + LVM on my setups. I think it was always
working for me even in the days I''ve installed the 2.6.18 kernel. 
Those
modules should normally exist in tke kernel and shall be activated by
probing during bootup.

I''m using Ubuntu with this setup with no problems...

Ask on debian-user@lists.debian.org. This questions are off-topic here.

You have to use xen-hypervisor-3.0.3-1-i386-pae, take a look at :

There''s nothing technical stopping the Xenified kernel from using
software
RAID; it just needs to be compiled with the right options.  Whether this is 
done depends on the distributor of your kernel; but I''d have thought
Debian
would compile the appropriate support into their kernel.

Does it not work for you already?

I imagine that one of those adds vserver support as well as Xen...  There are 
two projects sometimes called vservers.  One is the "Linux Virtual
Server"
project, which virtualises an IP address.  The other is the vservers kernel 
virtualisation project.

It should work with any XenLinux with the appropriate support compiled in.

Cheers,
Mark
