Fedora xen - Aug 2006 - Ubuntu Dapper Drake as guest on Fedora Core 5

Hello,
I''m running a Fedore Core 5 as domain0 on Xen 3.0. I could quite easily
install another FC5 as guest OS, following the quickstart guide.
Now I''d like to run a different OS as domU, in particular Ubuntu 6.06.
I can''t understand if the kernel-xenU that must be specified in the
domU configuration file is the Fedora''s one
(vmlinuz-2.6.17-1.2174_FC5xenU) or a kernel-xenU specific to the guest distro.
Is there a howto for starting an ubuntu or debian guest on Fedora?


Thanks to all in advance

It works fine. I''ve not run the Ubuntu/Debian installer inside a
paravirtualised
Linux VM but I''m running ~10 ubuntu/debian installs inside a pair of
FC5 Dom0''s.
About all one needs to remember is to put ''xennet'' in
/etc/modules inside the
domU install and copy the modules directory in. Oh, and remember to install
module-init-tools in case it isn''t already done.
