Fedora xen - May 2006 - RE: DomU/Dom0/Hypervisor boot on FC6 Tiger4/Montecito/Xen

Hi Fenghua,

         Did you create XenU successfully ? From your mail, seems xenU is OK
now, but I met a issue when creates xenU, it will die at booting time .

Have you met the issue? If yes,  and how to fix it?  Thanks:-)

Subject: [Fedora-xen] DomU/Dom0/Hypervisor boot on FC6 Tiger4/Montecito/Xen

 

 

XenU, Xen0, and Xen from latest rpms (2.6.16-1.2211_FC6) can boot on FC6
Tiger4/Montecito/Xen now.

 

To make this work:

1.      For Xen0 boot kernel panic, need to use newer cpio to generate correct
initrd. If you see kernel panic on /dev/root mount failure during Xen0 boot, it
is because of this issue.

2.      Xend causes Xen0 hang at the last boot phase. Seems xend doesn’t work
well with python2.4. I use python2.3 as temporary w/a. Need to look into this
issue later.

3.      Other configurations changes. 

Intel QA starts testing on FC6 IPF Xen now. In the mean time, I’m looking into
VTi now.

Thanks.
