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 .

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

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

There is some interest lately in making a self-contained grub2 boot image - call it pvgrub2, used for booting paravirtual domU in xen where a grub2 config is installed. First attempt------------------ I first tried using the grub2*.src.rpm from the C7 vault. I configured as shown belowhttps://blog.xenproject.org/2015/01/07/using-grub-2-as-a-bootloader-for-xen-pv-guests/ for headers, I used

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

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

Hi, I'm experiencing a strange problem, my extlinux is no longer bootable, and I'm wondering how to troubleshoot the problem for a fix. It's not just an one-off thing, but is happening to me all the time -- I use extlinux to boot up all my linux, and it has always been working for me, for at least 10+ years. However recently I started to duplicate my linux system from partition to

As seen on the screens [1], it is unnecessary to install a boot loader thus Grub 2, through the installer, but upon successful completion, it will be done manually - Syslinux EFI x64 installation. Do not reboot. Switching to a freshly installed system $

Hi all, I was using grub2 for booting Archlinux x86_64 in my GPT Internal HDD (/dev/sda) then I switched to syslinux/extlinux. It was working fine but suddenly it staring showing "Boot Error" message on screen. I googled for a solution and tried all syslinux versions from 4.04-pre4 down to 4.03-stable but non of them worked. I don't know what suddenly changed caused this

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

Hello, I have the following scenario: - GPT Partitioned USB disk with syslinux (or extlinux) on the first partition and a menu to boot each partition; all of them are iso9660 images of different linux distros, - Before dumping every iso image into its partition space on the USB disk I need to remaster it changing something on its initrd to be able to coexist with other linux distros on the
