Hello, my dom0 is ubuntu feisty (32bit). I want to create a domU to install solaris from the "Solaris Xen Update OpenSolaris Drop (July 2007)" iso dvd image (available at http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/xen/downloads-0707/ ) However, when I try to create a config according to http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/xen/docs/install-solaris-domu-iso.htm , this happens: # xm create solaris-install.cfg Using config file "solaris-install.cfg". Error: No kernel specified Obviously I''m missing a kernel = ... line, however I wasn''t able to find out what exactly to put there. I tried mounting the iso image, copying mnt/boot/platform/i86xpv/kernel/unix to my dom0''s FS and boot the domU with that kernel, this however leads to [2007-08-24 16:40:35 xend 4390] INFO (XendDomain:370) Domain solaris-install (5) unpaused.

I got a paravirt OpenSolaris domU running on an FC6 dom0 a while back, but that was for a much older release. I had downloaded "snv44-domU.tar.bz2" and after extraction is was fairly easy to figure out how to get things working. Plus that was a non-PAE OpenSolaris kernel, so it wouldn''t run on my Xen 3.1 install which is PAE-only. First thing I''d look for is errors in the /var/log/xen logs (xend.log, xend-debug.log). Also, have you looked at this: http://wiki.tardis.ed.ac.uk/index.php/OpenSolaris_Xen_domU Steve Brueckner, ATC-NY -----Original Message----- From: Anatol Ulrich [mailto:niemand@versteht.es] Sent: Friday, August 24, 2007 11:06 AM To: xen-users@lists.xensource.com Subject: [Xen-users] solaris domU on ubuntu dom0 Hello, my dom0 is ubuntu feisty (32bit).
