Hi all, I am creating a CentOS 5.1 Paravirtualized guest On Xen 3.2.1 / Fedora 8 Dom0. I built DomU kernel from the Xen Linux 2.6.18.8 source. I also created an initrd image (I face some problems there as I had to manually copy some modules line xennet, ahci and libata). Anyway, I dounloaded the CentOS5.1 image from http://jailtime.org/ and copied it to a new partition. When I create the

The virtualization manual doesn't seem to say; does one have to do anything to get the Centos 5.5 paravirtualization drivers installed? Or is it sufficient to specify a paravirtualized guest, and the Centos install will then detect that and load the right things? And, is there a way to check in the guest that the right drivers are loaded? What are they? -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b at

In order to create a paravirtualized guest/DomU, should i use the same distro as the host/dom0 is? Or is it possible to install a paravirtualized Debian (as a guest / DomU) into a CentOS (host / Dom0) ?

We are just starting to work with Xen and so far have been pleased with the results. The host system is running Fedora Core 6 with all of the latest kernel/xen updates. One of our first projects was to create an HVM guest using an LV based disk for the guest. It originally started out as a Fedora Core 3 system, but has been upgraded using network updated to Fedora Core 6. I believe we would

Hi. I'm testing a centos 5.4 xen PV guest on top of a centos 5.4 host. for some reason, the disk performance from the guest is awful. when I do an import , the io is fine for a while then climbs to 100% and stays there most of the time. at first I tougth it was because I was using file-backed disks, so deleted those and changed to LVM, but the situation did't improve. Here's an

Hi, I have a set of 32bit HVM images running fine under Xen 3.2.1 and Xen 3.4.1. Due to performance issues with the fully virtualized setup, I would like to migrate one of those images to a paravirtualized image to compare the network performance. As I do not have a Xen-aware kernel for that VM, I thought the best would be to provide one from outside. Sounds like an easy task, doesn''t

Hi Is there any docs, howtos, etc, if i am installed eg. CentOS 5 to as domU as fully virtualized and now i am wanting to use it PV drivers. Any help how migration can be done?

Using update-initramfs is the native way of updating initrd on Debian based systems. To add some modules to the image we can list them in file /etc/initramfs-tools/modules.
