Hi, how can i make actual xen kernel to work under my domU virtual machines? When i will provide as kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.1.14.el5xen as ramdisk /boot/initrd-2.6.18-53.1.14.el5xen.img , it will not work becouse of error that root device does not exists. And when it is booting it is showing that raid md0 and my logical volumes does not exists - like those on dom0. I believe it is becouse of ram disk. What is the best approach to solve this .. in official way? Can i use same ramdisk as for dom0, how? or should i create a new one for xen ... Thanks in advance! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/attachments/20080507/11a846bd/attachment.html>

Just install CentOS host with virtualization support and then install your first DomU with virt-install or virt-manager. There's a CentOS-virt list, please use it next time.
