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

Greetings! Trying to to run a xen3 domU on a xen4 dem0 I run into problems. The xen server ''XEN1''(dom0) is openSUSE-11.3 (kernel 2.6.34) and xen-4.0.1. With qemu I created an image ''M08.raw'' from the SUSE-9.3 (kernel 2.6.11) and XEN-3.0 installation CD''s. The XEN modules were included in the installation. In M08.raw/boot I configured grub/menu.lst:

Dear List-Colleagues: I have been working on installing Xen on Suse 10.3 for some time now. I am green as grass - both a total newbie to Xen and a relative newbie to Linux (as well as a total newbie to SuSE). Currently, I am at the point that when I click on the Xen entry in my grub loader I see Xen starting and running through much of its early setup. Eventually, however, it quits on

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

The number of distributions that are dropping grub 1 support is raising. Tody I received a notification from Arch Linux who are also doing this. The problem with this situation is when a distro installs grub2 because of a package dependency. So what I would like to know is whether there are more alternatives for PV than pvgrub. ExtLinux or pvgrub2 would be nice.. Mark

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).

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 .

Hi All, I am trying to compile Xen 3.3.0 source code which downloads updates from mercurial repository.

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
