similar to: Pvgrub on Debian dom0

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" ] root = "/dev/sda5 ro" start

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

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

Add a couple of documentation details about PV-GRUB support - the menu.lst content can be passed as a ramdisk. - virtual partitions are not supported.

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

I am using Xen 3.3 from source. My PV guest boots fine with the normal kernel and initrd options When I boot the guest with PV GRUB I only get: GNU GRUB version 0.97 (65536K lower / 0K upper memory) [ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported.

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.

From: Pavel Butsykin <pbutsykin@virtuozzo.com> This patch improves the search of grub config on EFI partition. This means that the config will be found not only for rhel but also for many other distributions. Tests were performed on the following distributions: centos, fedora, ubuntu, suse. In all cases, the config path was /boot/efi/EFI/*distname*/grub.cfg The main purpose of the patch

So i successfully upgraded my Debian vm''s to Debian 6 on XCP 1.0, but when i try to install a new clean one it always fails. Why is this? The VM won''t even start, while i used the Debian 6 squeeze template. Is this even possible?

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

Augeas 1.7.0 was released a couple of days ago. By encouraging everyone to upgrade to this we can drop several calls to aug_transform and also our custom copies of two lenses, and a lot of related code. Rich.

Hey guys, what I am trying to do is a chainload into grub2 installation in a DomU. So far I determined, PV-GRUB does not understand grub2''s grub.cfg notation. So I created a dummy menu.lst which has the needed root kernel and initrd rows and then referenced this to the DomUs config. The main intention to do this, is to be able to use kernel upgrades without touching the menu.lst for

Create an object hierarchy to represent different bootloaders for Linux guests, moving the separate handling of grub1 and grub2 in different classes: this isolates the code for each type of bootloader together, instead of scattering it all around. This is mostly code refactoring, with no actual behaviour change. --- po/POTFILES-ml | 1 + v2v/Makefile.am | 2 + v2v/bootloaders.ml
