CentOS virt - Apr 2008 - Installing Xen 3.2 from Xen.org under CentOS 5.1 x64

What is the best procedure for doing this on a minimal install of CentOS without
a gui?
Can I install all the dependencies through yum that a `#yum install xen
kernel-xen xen-libs` would bring in, then simply install the
xen-3.2.0-0xs.centos5.i386.rpm and xen-libs-3.2.0-0xs.centos5.i386.rpm?

Thanks!

Hi Joseph,

If you are looking for xen x86_64 then you need to compile it from the
sources avaiable at xen.org.  If you are looking for xen i386 then you can
download the rpms from xen.org, and install.  You will have to update
grub.conf to point to xen3.2 dom0. Please refer to this
http://xen.markmail.org/search/?q=xen+3.2+%26+centos#query:xen%203.2%20%26%20centos%20from%3A%22--%5B%20UxBoD%20%5D--%22+page:1+mid:s7bllms2s6u3igc2+state:results
if you want to build the xen 3.2 x86_64 from source.


Regards,
Vinod
