Teo, it is up to you how to manage, if you just having fun.
Otherwise, downloading 64-bit OpenSuse 11.1 ISO image
takes just 12-14 hr even at slow ADSL speed ( like 100 KB/sec).
Install takes 30 minutes and brings you to the trusted results, instead
of wasting a lot of time in case of business environment assignment.
Pasi has 32-bit experience due to hardware limitations, which you don''t
have.
Boris.

Dear Boris,
My colleague installed OpenSUSE 11.1 32-bit on the Core 2 Duo machine
in our labs. Please see my earlier replies in the same topic.
I was too lazy to reformat and install 64-bit OpenSUSE, so I proceeded
with Xen Dom 0 pvops kernel compilation on 32-bit Linux host.
I admit I am getting a lot of headache. Haha.

Once again, i don''t see any reason to to run 32-bit OS on
Core2Duo,
unless you like Xen head ache. Core development (PVOPS) is
obviously
running in 64-bit environment.

That is not supposed to happen. I would suggest clean OS
(without any built in xen presence) install , followed by Xen
3.4.1+pvops kernel clean install.

Dear All,
I am very puzzled. In investigating the cause of the
sudden success of the CentOS 4.7 32-bit PV guest being able to run, I have
uninstalled virt-manager and all of its dependencies:
docbook
python-gtk-vnc
xen-libs 3.3.1
scrollkeeper
xen-tools 3.3.1
libvirt 0.4.6
libvirt-python
vm-install 0.3.24
Then I proceeded to "make uninstall" in
xen-3.4-testing source tree, which also removed my self compiled Xen Dom 0
pvops enabled kernel, initrd and kernel modules.
After doing the above, I re-installed back the Xen
hypervisor, libraries and tools, and also the kernel, initrd, and modules.
Then I proceeded to reboot my machine. After rebooting, my CentOS 4.7 32-bit
PV guest is still able to start and run!
I am still very puzzled! What causes the PV guest
initially cannot start? Then what subsequently causes the PV guest to
suddenly be able to start and run???
***scratches head***
Anyway my CentOS 4.7 guest domain is now running. I
shall now proceed to virtualize OpenSolaris 2009.06.
Thank you.

Hi Pasi,
It''s very strange. Suddenly my CentOS 4.7 32-bit PV
guest is able to start!!! Previously it refuses to start at all.
I think I must have changed something in Dom 0 when
I attempted "yast --install virt-manager". This action might have
solved the
problem. When I tried to install virt-manager, it also tries to install
xen-libs-3.3.1 and xen-tools-3.3.1 as dependencies. However, I started off
my Xen Dom 0 pvops kernel install with Xen 3.4.1 rc8 branch.
I need to investigate more why suddenly my CentOS
4.7 32-bit PV guest is able to start.

Hi Pasi,
I realized that Fedora 10 32-bit anaconda
installer does not install PAE kernel after mounting the guest disk image
file. I mounted the guest disk image file using losetup and kpartx which
adds device nodes to /dev/mapper. I examined the /boot directory after
mounting the guest disk image file and found no PAE vmlinuz and initrd.
Still using the mounted Fedora 10 32-bit guest
disk image file, I changed root to the guest disk filesystems and attempted
to install the PAE kernel. Then I modified menu.lst to boot the PAE kernel.
After modifying the grub configuration of the guest domain, I un-mounted the
guest filesystem.
I proceeded to boot the F10 32-bit guest, since I
changed to PAE kernel. It is able to boot now (since the PAE kernel is
xen-aware) but then it complains cannot mount /dev/root. Probably something
to do with the PAE initrd file.

Fedora 10 installer has a bug, as a default
it installs non-PAE kernel for
xen domU. You need to use a kickstart
script (like this) to fix it:
http://pasik.reaktio.net/fedora/f10-xen-domu-ks.cfg
The important lines being:
-kernel
kernel-PAE
(Fedora 10 and Fedora 11 default kernels
are compiled with pv_ops Xen domU
support enabled, so there''s no need for
separate kernel-xen with these distros).
Fedora 11 doesn''t have that installer bug,
so it installs right
out-of-the-box as Xen domU.
What''s the error you get when you start the
guest after installation?
Please paste the "xm log" as text.
I don''t have any problems with CentOS 5.3
dom0.

Dear Boris,
My colleague installed OpenSUSE 11.1 32-bit on the Core 2 Duo
machine in our labs. Please see my earlier replies in the same topic.
I was too lazy to reformat and install 64-bit OpenSUSE, so I
proceeded with Xen Dom 0 pvops kernel compilation on 32-bit Linux host.
I admit I am getting a lot of headache. Haha.

Once again, i don''t see any reason to to run 32-bit OS on
Core2Duo,
unless you like Xen head ache. Core development
(PVOPS) is obviously
running in 64-bit environment.

Why it wouldn''t ? If your image stays
the same.

That is not supposed to happen. I would
suggest clean OS (without any built in xen presence) install , followed
by Xen 3.4.1+pvops kernel clean install.

Dear All,
I am very puzzled. In investigating the
cause of the sudden success of the CentOS 4.7 32-bit PV guest being able to
run, I have uninstalled virt-manager and all of its dependencies:
docbook
python-gtk-vnc
xen-libs 3.3.1
scrollkeeper
xen-tools 3.3.1
libvirt 0.4.6
libvirt-python
vm-install 0.3.24
Then I proceeded to "make uninstall" in
xen-3.4-testing source tree, which also removed my self compiled Xen Dom 0
pvops enabled kernel, initrd and kernel modules.
After doing the above, I re-installed back
the Xen hypervisor, libraries and tools, and also the kernel, initrd, and
modules. Then I proceeded to reboot my machine. After rebooting, my CentOS
4.7 32-bit PV guest is still able to start and run!
I am still very puzzled! What causes the PV
guest initially cannot start? Then what subsequently causes the PV guest to
suddenly be able to start and run???
***scratches head***
Anyway my CentOS 4.7 guest domain is now
running. I shall now proceed to virtualize OpenSolaris 2009.06.
Thank you.
Also see screenshots of my CentOS 4.7 PV
guest here:

Hi Pasi,
It''s very strange. Suddenly my CentOS 4.7
32-bit PV guest is able to start!!! Previously it refuses to start at all.
I think I must have changed something in
Dom 0 when I attempted "yast --install virt-manager". This action
might have
solved the problem. When I tried to install virt-manager, it also tries to
install xen-libs-3.3.1 and xen-tools-3.3.1 as dependencies. However, I
started off my Xen Dom 0 pvops kernel install with Xen 3.4.1 rc8 branch.
I need to investigate more why suddenly
my CentOS 4.7 32-bit PV guest is able to start.

Unable to Configure Xen Dom 0 in Jeremy''s PVOPS Kernel
Hi Pasi,
I realized that Fedora 10 32-bit
anaconda installer does not install PAE kernel after mounting the guest disk
image file. I mounted the guest disk image file using losetup and kpartx
which adds device nodes to /dev/mapper. I examined the /boot directory after
mounting the guest disk image file and found no PAE vmlinuz and initrd.
Still using the mounted Fedora 10
32-bit guest disk image file, I changed root to the guest disk filesystems
and attempted to install the PAE kernel. Then I modified menu.lst to boot
the PAE kernel. After modifying the grub configuration of the guest domain,
I un-mounted the guest filesystem.
I proceeded to boot the F10 32-bit
guest, since I changed to PAE kernel. It is able to boot now (since the PAE
kernel is xen-aware) but then it complains cannot mount /dev/root. Probably
something to do with the PAE initrd file.

Fedora 10 installer has a bug, as
a default it installs non-PAE kernel for
xen domU. You need to use a
kickstart script (like this) to fix it:
http://pasik.reaktio.net/fedora/f10-xen-domu-ks.cfg
[http://pasik.reaktio.net/fedora/f10-xen-domu-ks.cfg]
The important lines being:
-kernel
kernel-PAE
(Fedora 10 and Fedora 11 default
kernels are compiled with pv_ops Xen domU
support enabled, so there''s no
need for separate kernel-xen with these distros).
Fedora 11 doesn''t have that
installer bug, so it installs right
out-of-the-box as Xen domU.
What''s the error you get when you
start the guest after installation?
Please paste the "xm log" as
text.
I don''t have any problems with
CentOS 5.3 dom0.

Re: [Xen-devel] Unable to Configure Xen Dom 0 in Jeremy''s PVOPS Kernel
Dear All, I am trying to install OpenSolaris 2009.06 32-bit paravirtualized guest on OpenSUSE 11.1 32-bit paravirt-ops enabled Xen 3.4.1-rc8 Dom 0 Kernel 2.6.30-rc6. However, I am getting an opensolaris console login prompt. There is no GNOME DE for me to launch the GUI installer for OpenSolaris. I am using the OpenSolaris LiveCD 32-bit. I noticed under the guest domain configuration there is a parameter called ''extra'' kernel parameter. Does the ''nowin'' argument stand for no graphical windows? http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zzjv8MCM2sk/SmoT4kZta-I/AAAAAAAAAE0/xxUGuNunPoY/s1600-h/01.jpeg http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zzjv8MCM2sk/SmoT5YG2sNI/AAAAAAAAAFM/H0ntFt6LCx4/s1600-h/04.jpeg http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zzjv8MCM2sk/SmoT5uzjF6I/AAAAAAAAAFU/2Y3KNWPUwWk/s1600-h/05.jpeg Then I also get the "invalid disk device number (768)" error. Do I need to use xvda instead of hda?
