Hello, Some time ago, I noticed that whilst I had upgraded to Xen 3.1 (kernel 2.6.18-xen), I''d forgot to upgrade the paravirt DomU .cfg kernels from 2.6.16-xen to reflect this. So, I upgraded the DomU kernels & ran into issues with mounting devices, and the ext3 module not being available. After a bit of faffing about, I managed to sort this out and load the ext3 module. However, now, in the domU''s dmesg, I see... --- ide_generic: no version for "struct_module" found: kernel tainted. --- Is this anything to be concerned about? How can I fix this? Running RHEL 4.5 Dom0, with CentOS 4.5 guests. Cheerio, Y. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I did a.. --- mkinitrd -v --with=ext3 /boot/initrd-2.6.18-xen.img 2.6.18-xen --- and copied the /lib/modules/2.6.18-xen/ directories from Dom0 to DomU. This was all prior to getting the ''kernel tainted'' message. FWIW, cat /proc/sys/kernel/tainted in DomU gives a "2" which apparently means a module load was enforced in SUSE (couldn''t find the relevant info for RHEL). "--with=ext3"? Thoughts?
