Hello! ist it possible to run Solaris in a Linux Dom0? I tried it with the b44 kernel, but it seems the solaris kernel is not in the right format: ERROR: Kernel not a Xen-compatible Elf image. ERROR: Error constructing guest OS
I used the 32bit version instead of amd64 bit. Now it starts, but crashes immediately. oliver oli wrote:> Hello! > > ist it possible to run Solaris in a Linux Dom0? > > I tried it with the b44 kernel, but it seems the solaris kernel is not > in the right format: > > ERROR: Kernel not a Xen-compatible Elf image. > ERROR: Error constructing guest OS >
The 64-bit Solaris domU available currently will only run on the xen image we released along with the 3.0.2 solaris dom0. We had some special stuff we had to change in Xen until the new shadow code went in. The 32-bit Solaris domU will run on both 3.0.2 and 3.0.3 based linux dom0''s. We have 3.0.3 based Solaris bits which work both on stock 32 and 64 bit linux dom0s (with stock Xen bits) internally. We haven''t had a chance to release them yet because we''re under a bit of a schedule crunch at the moment trying to get a bunch of stuff done. Hopefully we will be able to soon..

Thanks for the clarification Mark! Mark Johnson wrote:> The 32-bit Solaris domU will run on both 3.0.2 and 3.0.3 > based linux dom0''s.I thought it''s possible to run a 32bit domU in a 64bit dom0. I guess the only solution is to run 32bit linux dom0 with 32bit solaris domU.> We have 3.0.3 based Solaris bits which work both on > stock 32 and 64 bit linux dom0s (with stock Xen bits) > internally.

I guess the > only solution is to run 32bit linux dom0 with 32bit solaris domU.Xen does not support running a paravirtualized 32-bit domU on a 64-bit dom0 at this point in time. It is being worked on though. Thanks, MRJ This message posted from opensolaris.org
