Hello, maybe I''m stupid but I find no way to have the kernel in Dom0 instead of DomU for Centos 5. Here is what I did: Regular Centos 5 Dom0 install, then creating a LVM group (vms) and install DomU with virt-install works perfectly: virt-install --p --location=http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5/os/i386 --file=/dev/vms/centos5_data --name=centos5 --ram=512 --nographics I get a

Hello, What is the best way to get the xen enabled CentOS 5.2 vmlinuz and initrd images for use as a guest domain (domU) on Ubuntu host domain (dom0). Is there a site where these are available? I am hoping that I could use the vmlinuz from the latest kernel rpm, if I go that route, how could I generate the initrd image given that my host is Ubuntu?

I downloaded vmlinuz and initrd from here renamed them to vmlinuz-xen-install and initrd-xen-install and placed both above in /boot http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5.5/os/x86_64/images/xen/ and then in /etc/xen-tools/xen-tools.conf install-method = rinse dist = centos-5 image = sparse kernel = /boot/vmlinuz-xen-install initrd = /boot/initrd-xen-install serial_device = hvc0

I''ve been running any number of CentOS 4 based Xen hosts and guests using CentOS 4.4, and the Xen RPM''s from www.xensource.com, and various hand-built OS images using jailtime and my own own OS images. I like the jailtime approach: One partition for / on the DomU, /dev/sda1, built as a local file or local LVM partition One partiton for swap on the DomU, /dev/sda2,

Hi, I have a Xen server running OpenSuSE 10.2, with Xen version 3.0.3_11774. It''s happily hosting two DomU''s running the same OS / kernel. Now I tried to create a new DomU running a newer OS - OpenSuSE 11.1. It comes with Xen version 3.3.1_18494_03.

Hi, I installed Fedora 10 as domU on CentOS 5.3. I need new 2.6.25.14 kernel under domU (in order to patch it for MPLS protocol). I followed advice on http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Kernel.org_Linux_on_Xen, and compiled kernel with XEN options enabled under domU.

Hello list! I''ve noticed this problem a couple of times now.. so I''m wondering if it''s a known bug?

Hello all, I am trying to get an Ubuntu 8.04 image running on my CentOS 5.2 Dom0 which so far has only been running CentOS 5.2 DomUs. The image I am trying to run was fetched from jailtime.org (just so I didn't have to go through building an image for myself). The configuration of the DomU is based on what the guys at jailtime.org provided and its as follows name = "redgum"
