[Xen-users] how to get rhel3-ish distro run as domu with xen3
hello! i think i have an very common problem. i want to run a distro based on a 2.4 kernel (Scientific Linux 3/Centos 3/RHEL 3) in xen3 as domu. the dom0 is a 2.6 based and works fine. so i think the way to go is to "simply" use an 2.6 kernel. but now i see there are several things which don''t work for example module-init-tools are missing and i expect problems with the glibc. Has anybody a "howto upgrade 2.4 distros"? or has anybody working 2.4 kernels for xen3/DomU? regards! sven _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

But assuming you have everything needed compiled in kernel then you won''t need module loading.> i expect problems with the glibc. >Why?

That would be interesting to verify.i think the glibc is configured for a kernel, but i may be wrong.> > Has anybody a "howto upgrade 2.4 distros"?okay! now i have a small one for scientific linux 3 as domu on scientific linux 4 as dom0: * copy sl3 installation in the domu partition * replace the fsck.ext3 and e2fsck with sl4 versions (if your domu partitions are ext3) * install the xensource binary rhel4.1 kernel in dom0 and domu (in the domu you will get a lot of warnings, ignore) * install module-init-tools from sl4 in the sl3 domu * mv /lib/tls /lib/tls.old Does anybody know if http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/downloads/RPMS/rhel3/glibc-2.3.2-95.30.xen.i686.rpm would give me a working tls for rhel3 in xen3? regards _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
