similar to: kernel is not a bzImage

This implements a loader for version 2.07 boot protocol bzImage format files. This allows a single bzImage kernel file to boot either native from a normal bootloader (grub, etc), or paravirtualized under Xen. These bzImages have two changes to make this possible: 1. There's a new field for the bootloader to tell the booted kernel what kind of environment its coming up under. We

I am running XEN on CentOS Linux release 7.8.2003 I have a Debian 7, and two Gentoo DomU Guests running fine. I am trying to get an Ubuntu 20.04 DomU Guest running but I get this error when trying to run the netboot kernel image xc_dom_probe_bzimage_kernel unable to LZ4 decompress kernel I understand that CentOS Xen does not support LZ4 decompression. Is there a workaround for this?

Hi, Today I replaced grub(1) with syslinux on my laptop, after rebooting to syslinux and selecting kernel I got massive freeze along with colorful output to screen - http://i.imgur.com/lFjFc.jpg I think I tried everything, even doing esc and writing after boot: /bzImage-3.1.0, after enter I had the same freeze with the same screen artefacts. How I installed extlinux: mkdir /boot/extlinux

Hi, What the the size limit of booting bzImage file with syslinux ? I have tested different sized bzImage files, and when the files are small <800K, they work with syslinuz, but at some size larger they fail to work. This was the same problem loadlin1.6 had, but loadlin1.6c fixes the issue, and I can boot bzImage sizes up to 1.5Meg with loadlin, but syslinux fails. Can you confirm this

Package: src:xen Version: 4.1.3-4 Severity: serious The bzimage loader used in both libxc and the hypervisor lacks XZ support. Debian kernels since 3.6 are compressed with XZ and can't be loaded. Support for XZ compression was added in changeset 23002:eb64b8f8eebb somewhere last year. Bastian -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990,

Well, it seems to be about time to have this conversation again. A rough overview of the previous thread and requirements is: 1. bzImage would not be a bare ELF file, but it would contain an ELF header+file within it 2. We need some way to add extra ELF notes into that ELF file 3. We use a "paravirtualized" bootloader type, with some other field to determine which

Package: xen-hypervisor-3.2-1-amd64 Version: 3.2.1-2 Severity: serious After noting that this version supposedly loads bzImage kernels: | xen-3 (3.2.1-2) unstable; urgency=low | | * Use e2fslibs based ext2 support for pygrub.

Thanks all, It should be quick, so it will be implemented in C. Maybe I should have stated that I am not an expert in syslinux (intelligent but no expert). I think that I understand the "custom COM32 module" option : I simply have to change the code (and begin by looking into the files that were suggested). As for Peter's suggestion, I am not sure if I understood. Is this an

Package: xen-utils-3.2-1 Version: 3.2.1-2 Severity: important Hi, I set the severity to important as it seems that current xen tools does not allow to load amd64 Debian kernel in DomU. I also put the debian-kernel ML in CC as I'm not sure the problem comes from xen tools or the kernel itself. Here is my configuration: Hypervisor: xen-hypervisor-3.2-1-amd64 3.2.1-2

Does this install -d -m0755 -p "/mnt/gen2/TmpDir/portage/app-emulation/xen-pvgrub-4.3.0/image//usr/lib/xen/boot" install -m0644 -p mini-os-x86_32-grub/mini-os.gz "/mnt/gen2/TmpDir/portage/app-emulation/xen-pvgrub-4.3.0/image//usr/lib/xen/boot/pv-grub-x86_32.gz" make: Leaving directory `/mnt/gen2/TmpDir/portage/app-emulation/xen-pvgrub-4.3.0/work/xen-4.3.0/stubdom'

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 considering hacking up PyGRUB so that it only allows the user a choice of

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list, I am trying to setup a DomU with linux-2.6.18-xen.hg in order to test Remus on a Debian Squeeze 6.0 / Xen 4.0.1 (2.6.32-5-xen-amd64) Dom0. After applying several patches to the Debian Squeeze Xen packages, I have built the linux-2.6.18-xen.hg, but when I start my DomU, I have got this error message : Error: (2, ''Invalid

I want to run the examples of a book titled "The Definitive Guide to the Xen Hypervisor", but Xen4.x seems not support the examples and says something like xc: error: panic: xc_dom_bzimageloader.c:607: xc_dom_probe_bzimage_kernel: kernel is not a bzImage: Invalid kernel So I have to install Xen3.4. On vmware, I follow the instructions from Internet to install Ubuntu 1004 with kernel

After hours of googling and not really finding a definitive solution to my problem, I''m a little stuck and would really appreciate some help from others. I have a CentOS 5.4 x86-64 server running Xen 3.3 from the gitco repos as dom0. On this I have created two logical volumes comprising 8GB for the system disk (xvda) and 1.5GB for swap (xvdb). I ran mkfs.ext3 and mkswap on these to
