so it appears that PVGRUB requires that I specifiy (in my domain config file) either the -x86_64 or the -x86_32 version. Does anyone have a clever way I can let my users switch between x86_64 and i386 without giving them access to the domain config file? Preferably, something more secure than PyGRUB? I was con...

...and mkswap on these to create the required filesystems and then I mounted the 8GB volume and copied a system image onto it. After creating the xen config and starting it with pygrub the machine starts and runs without error - so far, so good! Now, If I shutdown the vm and change the config to use pvgrub and restart I am stuck at a grub prompt. If I manually tell it where to find the config file (using the exact same path as in the ''extra'' line in the domu config) it pvgrub starts and everything then runs as expected. Here is my config: --- snip --- name = "pvgrubtestvm&qu...

Hello, The attached patch adds bzip2 and lzma/xz libs to stubdom for pvgrub. This is the first step of getting the additional compression methods supported in pvgrub. There''s still some Makefile voodoo to sort out before pvgrub actually properly gets linked against these new libs. This patch only adds the libs and makes them build. -- Pasi _________________...

Hello, I am still confused: does pyGrub run in dom0 as root? as it says in here: "PyGRUB used to act as a “PV bootloader”: it runs in dom0 as root, opens the PV disk image, reads its GRUB menu.lst, presents a GRUB-like menu to let the user choose a kernel which it copies to the dom0 filesystem, it then closes the disk image and eventually tells the domain builder to use that copy. Such a

Hi, Having a problem getting a domu to boot correctly. When I enter xl create guest it boots straight into grubdom. If I enter the config location in grubdom t boots as expected. The location of the grub.cfg is the same in my domu config as what in entering but just will not work. Any ideas? Ian .

I have this working on Fedora. It turned out to be very easy to add this as I simply took the grub-ext4-support.patch from the Fedora grub package and put it in xen-4.0.1/stubdom/grub.patches/ . Using pvgrub (without a vif on the virtual machine as I was having problems if I did give it a network interface) I could read and boot from ext4 partition with this patch but not without it. Is this a good way to add this feature to xen more generally? Michael Young ____________________________________...

...ns that are dropping grub 1 support is raising. Tody I received a notification from Arch Linux who are also doing this. The problem with this situation is when a distro installs grub2 because of a package dependency. So what I would like to know is whether there are more alternatives for PV than pvgrub. ExtLinux or pvgrub2 would be nice.. Mark

Thank Zhigang Wang for your response. I have test pvgrub with this config file: #pv-config kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/pv-grub-x86_32.gz" extra = "(hd0,5)/boot/grub/menu.lst" memory = 512 name = "ExampleDomain" disk = [ ''file:/var/lib/xen/images/opensuse11-1/disk0,xvda,w'' ] vif = [ "bridge=eth0"...

Thanks for the report. Was that because you had the path to the pvgrub image in your config file? If so, it might be a good idea to add a symbolic link from /usr/lib to /usr/lib64 for pvgrub. -George
