Which can be the best option to install CentOS as a domU: > rpmstrap or uisng fc5 xen scripts??I haven''t found any really good documentation on this and haven''t gotten it to work to my satisfaction. So far, I have FC5 dom0 following the FC5 xen guide. I''ve installed Centos4.3 domU with some yum install trickery but never gotten it to boot. I had FC5 DomUs running under a FC5 dom0 as well. Several bugs have fouled this up, some of which were fixed about a week ago and some of which were not. I think the rpmstrap approach is broken as it doesn''t deal well with updates to the OS. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
The easiest way to get CentOS 4.3 running under XEN is to use an image from http://jailtime.org/ You can adjust it to your needs then.

If you go this route please consider sending the rpmstrap folks your updates. The other method which I happen to prefer, is to use a combination of ''rpm --root'' and ''yum --installroot'', as described here: http://mark.foster.cc/wiki/index.php/Centos-3_on_Xen and elsewhere. You could probably pull this off on fc5 by creating a customized yum config to bootstrap centos4 with. In any case I don''t think you are going to find a recipe to do exactly what you want, but may be lucky to find 80% of what you need documented in some way, shape or form and you''ll have to fill in the other 20% by yourself. Good luck. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Thanks to all for your explanations. Mark, Using second method that you explain, in which order I need to execute rpm and yum commands??? Many thanks.

Anyway, I spoke too soon, there is a centos 4.3 script at http://trac.samhart.net/trac/attachment/ticket/28/centos43 The rpm+yum method I tried (for fun) this morning for centos 4 and have been unsuccessful so far.

Have got a Suse 10.1 DomU up and running; however, it comes up without a network connection. Executing dhclient gets an ip address no problem and the guest system is up and running. Is there a parameter I should be setting somewhere to automatically get an ip address via dhcp rather than needed a command execution? _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Is you dhcp client configured to run at system startup? Do any dhcp requests reach your dhcp server? What do the logs say?

Dom0 runs dhcp. All other clients on network receive dhcp addresses no problem. I did a vanilla install of suse 10.1 as DomU. It comes up just fine, but does not get an address. If I execute dhclient it goes out and gets an address no problem I looked in /etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp. In it, it has DHCLIENT_BIN="" According to the comment just above that entry, that means it should try dhcpcd, the dhclient. So it seems like the file is set up correctly. So it seems like it should go out and get an address, but doesn''t. I''m not very familiar with dhcp (as it works great on all other machines on network) so am not sure where I should look to see if dhcp client is configured to run at system startup, nor do I know where the log is located. Guidance toward these two things would be very appreciated.
