Hello, I am trying to boot a FC6 domU on Xen 3.2 (compiled on a FC6 system). After compiling Xen 3.2 successfully on FC6 and making the ramdisk, I modified the conf.grub as shown below. With this, I was able to boot xen. ------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg. # root (hd0,0) # kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda1 # initrd /boot/initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/sda default=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title Xen 3.2 (2.6.18.8-xen) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=1024M console=vga module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen ro root=LABEL=/1 console=tty0 module /boot/initrd-3.2-xen.img title Fedora Core (2.6.18-1.2798.fc6) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.img --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Then, I created a domU image as in the uer manual for v3.0. 1) I created a blank discimage fc6_domudisk and monted in in /mnt 2) I copied /{root, dev,var,etc,usr,bin,sbin,lib} to /mnt 3) I makde the {home, proc, sys, tmp} directories inside /mnt 4) I modified the mnt/etc/fstab as follows ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /dev/sda1 / ext3 defaults 1 1 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5) With this I tried to bring up the domU using the following configuration file. From what I understand, I can use the dom0 kernel itself for domU. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen" memory = 256 name = "fc6" vif = [ ''bridge=xenbr0'' ] disk = [ ''file:/second/fc6_domudisk,sda1,w'' ] root = "/dev/sda1 ro" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- But the boot fails with a kernel panic.

May be you need to recompiled the domainU PV kernel with ext3/ext2 modules statically built into the kernel. Also IDE/SATA driver it seems.

I tried compiling Xen 3.1.3 and tried to boot a domU using the same image (Of course, I replaced the xen 3.2 modules with the xen 3.1.3 modules in lib/modules of the image). I did not compile separate dom0 and domU kernels, but used the same unified kernel for both dom0 and domU and this works. But, as I mentioned in my previous email, the same procedure does not work on Xen 3.2. The dom0 boots but the domU kernel panics and crashes. It would be great if someone who has compiled Xen 32 and booted a guest dom helped me out with instructions.

Thank you for the reply. I was out of town for the weekend and could not reply earlier. I have tried using a ramdisk - with builtin ide drivers, preloading xenblk and xennet modules - all the suggestions from xen mailing lists - but still no change.
