Hello Everyone, I have been trying to get a Fedora 12 domU to boot for the better part of the afternoon and haven't had success booting any F12 kernel in Xen. I can get Fedora 11 installed no problem, tried to do a preupgrade but the when booting the preupgrade kernel through grub (or even from outside the domU) the domU reboots very quickly and ultimately crashes. As far as I saw in the qemu-dm-xxx.log, xend.log, and xend-debug.log there are no messages informing me of what went wrong. I am using CentOS 5.3 with the 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5xen kernel. I am unable to update the kernel at this time as new drivers cause major disk controller issues. If it as simple as a kernel update I will try again, but as of right now I am stumped so I asking for a little help! Has anyone successfully gotten F12 set as a domU using the regular CentOS xen and kernel-xen packages? xen-3.0.3-80.el5_3.3 kernel-xen-2.6.18-92.1.22.el5 Best, Tait -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I'm not totally sure.

What's the actual problem? Use virt-install or virt-manager to install new F12 guest. Btw what's your hardware? -- Pasi
