Need a reality check, please: Fedora domU on Nevada 83/85

I''m fairly new to the Xen capabilities added to Solaris.
In trying to get a Fedora Core 8 guest up under Nevada 83,
I built a 64-bit Fedora Xen kernel over on a Fedora Linux
machine, using the latest Xen 3.2.0 sources.  It nicely built
a Fedora "vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen" kernel.

	When I took that over to a Solaris Nevada 83 machine to run,
it failed, but the sole output from "xm start" was

# xm create fedora.fc8.64.xen3.cfg -c
Using config file "./fedora.fc8.64.xen3.cfg".
Error:
#

which wasn''t too helpful.  /var/log/xen/xend.log was a little more
helpful:

	Is the problem that I should be building against some earlier
version of Xen?  If I move from Solaris Nevada 83 to Nevada 85, that''s
Xen 3.1.2 as nearly as I can tell, but the sources from xen.org
are 3.1.3.  Will the tarballs from the same page on xen.org
(http://www.xen.org/download/dl_31tarballs.html) work under Nevada 85?

	Any wisdom would be appreciated.

I just tried on b85 and it still works fine.. There are some
old instructions which should still work @

   http://opensolaris.org/os/community/xen/docs/fedora-install.htm

virt-install should also work... I don''t know the
exact options though.

I have fedora6, fedora7, and fedora8 PV domUs running
on my dom0.  With b85, you can now run 32-bit domUs
on a 64-bit dom0 too.

debug and can''t find any really useful information.  Perhaps something 
is missing that is needed, like disk controller drivers, because those 
are probably the most critically needed.  It should be something generic 
that''s always built with the default Fedora 8 kernel config, but you 
should check.  Does the system even boot at all under Xen?  (Like VNC 
and initial startup routines, kernel debug, etc. independent of what Xen 
spits out)

	My question is more about versions of Xen - which version
of Xen should I be building guests against?

Re: Need a reality check, please: Fedora domU on Nevada 83/85

For the record, the problem with my domU Fedora 8 system turned
out to be that the ".img" file I was using was bogus.  I became
suspicious when the Solaris dom0 wouldn''t even loop mount it.  I
replaced it with a downloaded image from xensources and that did
the trick.  The Fedora guest now boots fine.

It shouldn''t matter...  Although, you shouldn''t have to
be building a kernel??  Fedora6-8 come with a Xen enabled
kernel already.
