Xen users - May 2009 - opensolaris domU on debian dom0

Hi all,

  Someone please help me out and tell me if i am going in
   right direction.

  I am trying to create a solaris domU in debian dom0
  debian is lenny and the xen version is the default
   lenny one 3.2.1
  I am able to create and run domU of debian kernel(s) (default
   kernels). They all work fine.

  I got a copy of the opensolaris CD and saw that there
is a directory

/media/cdrom/platform/i86xpv/kernel

I copied the file under this directory called ''unix'' assuming
that
this is the PV kernel to /XEN/sol/kernel

Thn i copied /media/cdrom/boot/x86.microroot as /XEN/sol/initrd
this is my config file:
>>>>>
name=''solaris''
disk = [ ''phy:/dev/hdc,6:cdrom,r''
,''phy:diskhda/sol,hda,w'' ]
kernel = ''/XEN/sol/kernel''
ramdisk = ''/XEN/sol/initrd''
mem = 256
vif = [ '''' ]
extra = ''unix  -nowin -B install_media=cdrom''
bootloader =
''/usr/lib/xen-3.2-1/bin/pygrub''
>>>>>
Now the trouble part:
when i use the xm create -c config I get an error
Using config file "./config".
Error: Boot loader didn''t return any data!

I tried even this
>>>>>>>>>>>
# /usr/lib/xen-3.2-1/bin/pygrub ./kernel
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/lib/xen-3.2-1/bin/pygrub", line 648, in <module>
     fs = fsimage.open(file, get_fs_offset(file))
IOError: [Errno 95] Operation not supported
server:/XEN/sol# /usr/lib/xen-3.2-1/bin/pygrub ./initrd
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/lib/xen-3.2-1/bin/pygrub", line 648, in <module>
     fs = fsimage.open(file, get_fs_offset(file))
IOError: [Errno 95] Operation not supported
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
My processor is NOT a VT enabled processor but has PAE support.

thanks

it''s a xenified opensolaris kernel.

these two can''t be together. Pick one.
