Boris, Thanks for that info - unfortunately, I need to be running CentOS 5.4 for the Dom0, and I really shouldn''t have a kernel that''s not one of the standard CentOS packages, so I''m going to have to give up on Solaris as a Xen guest for now.

> and I really shouldn''t have a kernel that''s not one of the standard CentOS packagesYou can also make a direct port of Official Xen 3.4.2 to CentOS 5.4 . # make world # make install Kernel will be replaced by xensource version of 2.6.18-xen and Libvirt capabilities will be lost, but S10 HVM will run. CentOS Dom0 has the same .18-th kernel , but RH patched. Seems like Gunter shutdown http://gitco.de/repo due to issues with Xen 4.0 and RH''s .18-th. Boris. P.S Of course, if performance (PV S10 drivers) is a matter. In fact RH''s Dom0 kernel is outdated. --- On Fri, 8/20/10, Johnson Earls <jearls@responsys.com> wrote: From: Johnson Earls <jearls@responsys.com> Subject: RE: [Xen-users] Question: Solaris 10 10/09 HVM on 64-bit Centos 5.4 Dom0 vs Suse 11.3 To: "Boris Derzhavets" <bderzhavets@yahoo.com>, "xen-users@lists.xensource.com" <xen-users@lists.xensource.com> Date: Friday, August 20, 2010, 12:59 PM Boris, Thanks for that info - unfortunately, I need to be running CentOS 5.4 for the Dom0, and I really shouldn''t have a kernel that''s not one of the standard CentOS packages, so I''m going to have to give up on Solaris as a Xen guest for now.

Oracle VM ( RHEL 5) i believe run at Xen 4.0. I mean you need an exact info about Xen Version & Dom0 Kernel of Oracle VM. They based on Oracle Unbreakable Linux ( RHEL 5.X). This config ( i mean Xen&Kernel_for_Dom0) should be able to run S10u9 HVM Boris.

I''m running Centos 5.4 64-bit on Intel Core-2 Duo CPUs. I''m trying to install Solaris 10 10/09 as an HVM guest on this system. I have the Solaris 10 10/09 x86 ISO image that I am booting from; I can see the GRUB menu, but when it tries to boot to the OS, I stop getting any console output. I''ve tried the standard [vnc] console, and I''ve tried using the xen serial 0 console and telling Solaris to boot using ttya or ttyb; nothing seems to work. The Xen version I''m running is: xen.x86_64 3.0.3-105.el5_5.5 installed The HVM configuration is: name = "test1" uuid = "01c2dc0e-dd8c-6ef2-d116-4e02f2a534d9" maxmem = 1500 memory = 512 vcpus = 1 builder = "hvm" kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader" boot = "d" pae = 1 acpi = 1 apic = 1 localtime = 1 on_poweroff = "destroy" on_reboot = "restart" on_crash = "restart" device_model = "/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm" usb = 1 usbdevice = "tablet" sdl = 0 vnc = 1 vncunused = 1 keymap = "en-us" disk = [ "file:/export/test1.img,hda,w", "file:/root/sol-10-u8-ga-x86-dvd.iso,hdc:cdrom,r" ] vif = [ "mac=00:16:36:4d:3e:2d,bridge=virbr0,script=vif-bridge,vifname=vif20.0" ] parallel = "none" serial = "pty" Any help, tips, or even being beaten over the head with "you''re stupid, just do this" messages would be appreciated :) Thanks in advance! - Johnson jearls@responsys.com _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Boris - thank you! Success. What Boris described below worked - the second time. [The first time, it wiped out my grub menu and, being a relative newbie to linux itself, I was unable to rebuild it successfully, so I had to re-install.

Wait, linux rescue ( from DVD boot) should be able to recreate /boot/grub/grub.conf. Something like:- # grub-install /dev/sda (?) I haven''t worked with CentOS for a while.

RE: [Xen-users] Question: Solaris 10 10/09 HVM on 64-bit Centos 5.4 Dom0 vs Suse 11.3
Seems like i was wrong. All what i could after: linux rescue chroot /mnt/sysimage It was manually create in vi file "/boot/grub/grub.conf" :- default=0 timeout=5 title CentOS 5.4 root (hd1,7) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-164.el5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup01/LogVol00 initrd /initrd-2.6.18-164.el5.img Kernel and initrd values may be viewed via "ls /boot", root value via "df -h" Anyway, it''s easier then reinstall.
