[Fedora-xen] Cannot get xen on RHEL5 to use a RHEL4 repository
I am running xen on a Dell 2850/ 3.0Ghz/ 12GB RAM/ RHEL5 Beta2 system. I am attempting to create a rhel4 guest. I have copied the rhel4 packages from cd into a directory (/var/www/html/rhel4) and enabled http. I created a repository on the host machine and updated yum to look at that repository using createrepo under /var/www/html/rhel4. I am able to see the repository with a web browser on another machine. My issue comes when I use the http://myhost/rhel4 <http://myhost/rhel4> in the configuration window asking where it asks where the installation media resides. I get the following error: Guest Install Error ERROR: Invalid URL location given: [Errno:14] HTTP Error 404: Not found. I am about at my wits end on how to rectify this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanx in advance Darrell J.

Re: [Fedora-xen] Cannot get xen on RHEL5 to use a RHEL4 repository
You''re on a 2850 so I guess that means that you don''t have VT support on your cpu Check this with $ egrep “svm|vmx” /proc/cpuinfo flags : fpu tsc msr pae vmx mce cx8 .. which will check for VMX (intel) or SVM (amd) support. if You don''t get vmx or svm in the output then you don''t have the cpu extensions for full virtualization. So you''ll have to use a para-virt install - today RHEL4 does not include PV support - but RHEL4.5 (due feb/march) will include that support. So probably what you''re seeing is the install looking for the pv install kernel - which should be in <install-root>/images/xen/vmlinuz and since it''s not there you''re getting a http error.
