Xen users - Jul 2006 - new user - new issues

Just installed Xen 3 on FC5
that all went smooth following:

http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraXenQuickstart

I want to however create a FC4 virtual machine -
I attepmpted to use the image at: http://jailtime.org
but it doesnt seem to work (networking fail, most else works great) --
I am thinking that it is because those are for Xen 2 (??)

So, is there another place to get images for Xen 3?
or is there a good tutorial for creating your images from install
CD''s??

or maybe I wasnt doing something correct with the networking, but the
only reference to issues like that was defining "alias eth0 xennet"
which didnt seem to work either


Thanks -
Chris

"Note that this information is applicable for Fedora Core 4. For
information on Fedora Core 5, see FedoraXenQuickstartFC5"

So what? Your tutorial obviously contains information on how to create
a fc4 dom0 and domU. Why not just go that way?

And if that fails, the fedora-xen list might be very helpful.

An error message would be great to help you.

IIRC FC5 does some strange things with networking, but they can be
easily circumvented - I think they are already discussed often on this
list.

As you start your image from dom0, and configure it from dom0 to run
with a xen kernel residing in your dom0''s filesystem, it
shouldn''t
matter what xen version the jailtime image is created for.

There are also multiple mails about creating fc4 images (mkrootfs and
rpmstrap come to my mind) - this mailing list has an archive with
search function.
