I have a question regarding the building of the unified xen kernel (linux-2.6-xen) and the use of initrd. In the past I built both xen0 and xenU kernels; the xen0 default configurations had SCSI and Fusion MPT support compiled into the kernel. Now, they are built as modules. The problem is that I am unable to boot the xen kernel built that way, even though I am building an initrd. I have

Can someone tell me the cause of and/or remedy for the ''No module ata_generic found'' error message during the mkinitrd stage? This is on a build from xen-unstable.hg pulled late yesterday. Also, FYI, I did do a ''make install'' and look in the /lib/modules/2.6.18.8-xen directory and no, I did not see an ata_generic module in there. [root@localhost

Hi, I recently put together an OpenSuse 10.2 machine (Tyan motherboard with Opteron dual-core) and downloaded the Xen 3.1 rpm''s. After loading them and modifying grub to boot into the Xen kernel, I get a "file not found" error on the xen initrd file.

Hi, I migrated a physical CentOS 4.8 server into a VM on a CentOS 5 KVM host. Everything works fine, I even can use the paravirt drivers for network and disk. However the required kernel modules are not put into initrd somehow. Of course I can call "mkinitrd --with virtioblk ..." manually but that's too easy to forget. I searched the web but I didn't find any similar

Hi, Any one know how the Centos 5 kickstart initrd.img was built? I'll be very appreciated if any light can be shed on this topic. The basic problem to be solved here is: how to build a custom vmlinuz+initrd.img for Centos 5 kickstart with my own custom built kernel? I am not sure mkinitrd is the right tool for this purpose? If do, which are the modules I should include with
