Hi, See inline.

Also some distros use different commands to build initrd files. I actually forgot about this step for a second too.

The #5 of README is not clear in details. which directory to run depmod and mkinitrd from ? I see: # depmod xen-4.0.0 WARNING: Couldn''t find symtab and strtab in module xen-4.0.0 # ls -l total 1356 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1380620 May 13 13:05 xen-4.0.0 Any suggestions ? --- On Wed, 5/12/10, Todd Deshane <deshantm@gmail.com> wrote: From: Todd Deshane <deshantm@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [Xen-devel] initrd Xen 4.0 To: "ccmail111" <ccmail111@yahoo.com> Cc: xen-devel@lists.xensource.com Date: Wednesday, May 12, 2010, 9:46 PM Hi, See inline.

You can run it from anywhere, it will look in /lib/modules for the kernel modules directory. Example: # ls /lib/modules 2.6.31.13 2.6.33.1-24.fc13.x86_64 # depmod -a 2.6.31.13 (no output, sometimes ignorable warnings) the mkinitrd will also refer to that same kernel version For example: mkinitrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31.13 2.6.31.13 Hope that helps.

You need to run depmod for the *kernel*, not for xen. So like this: depmod -a 2.6.32.12 Or whatever is your kernel version. -- Pasi> # ls -l > total 1356 > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1380620 May 13 13:05 xen-4.0.0 > > Any suggestions ? > > --- On Wed, 5/12/10, Todd Deshane <deshantm@gmail.com> wrote: > > From: Todd Deshane <deshantm@gmail.com> > Subject: Re: [Xen-devel] initrd Xen 4.0 > To: "ccmail111" <ccmail111@yahoo.com> > Cc: xen-devel@lists.xensource.com > Date: Wednesday, May 12, 2010, 9:46 PM > > Hi, > > See inline. > > On Wed, May 12, 2010 at 12:25 PM, ccmail111 <[1]ccmail111@yahoo.com> > wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > I downloaded Xen 4.0 and did: > > make install > > I donot see initrd (ramdisk) being created at all. > > > > Any suggestions ? > > > > Step 5 of the README > Depending on your config, you may need to use ''mkinitrd'' to create > an initial ram disk, just like a native system e.g. > # depmod 2.6.18-xen > # mkinitrd -v -f --with=aacraid --with=sd_mod --with=scsi_mod > initrd-2.6.18-xen.img 2.6.18-xen > Other systems may requires the use of ''mkinitramfs'' to create the > ram disk. > # depmod 2.6.18-xen > # mkinitramfs -o initrd-2.6.18-xen.img 2.6.18-xen > > You may need to change the kernel version based on what you built. > Also some distros use different commands to build initrd files. > > I actually forgot about this step for a second too. > > Thanks, > Todd > > -- > Todd Deshane > [2]http://todddeshane.net > [3]http://runningxen.com > > References > > Visible links > 1. file:///mc/compose?to=ccmail111@yahoo.com > 2. http://todddeshane.net/ > 3. http://runningxen.com/> _______________________________________________ > Xen-devel mailing list > Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com > http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel_______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
