Hi,
using ext4-filesystem on openSuSe/64 bit, I wonder if the current
Xen-3.4.2 supports ext4.
Furthermore, what is the recommended linux-distri and/or version to
start with Xen?
I compliled Xen-3.4.2 on a openSuse-11.2/32 bit according README,
compilation w/o errors.
When booting i get the following:
---

Trying manual resume from /dev/sdb1
Waiting for device /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_...-part1 to appear: ...
Could not find /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_...-part1
Want me to fall back to /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_...-part1? (Y/n)

ls /dev shows no disk, sda or sdb <<<==

Opensuse 11.2''s udev needs newer kernel version. When you use old (2.6.18) kernel, udev won''t work, thus you won''t see any disk. Plus xen.org''s 2.6.18 kernel doesn''t support ext4. If you go with opensuse, it has xen and kernel-xen packages ready to install, so you shouldn''t have to compile it manually. If for any reason you want to compile both the hypervisor and kernel manually anyway, you need to get newer kernel version (see http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenDom0Kernels) -- Fajar _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
