Hello all, I have a Xen kernel running on a CentOS 5.1: xen-users@lists.xensource.com The Xen versions I have are: rpm -qa | grep xen kernel-xen-2.6.18-53.1.21.el5 xen-libs-3.0.3-41.el5_1.6 xen-3.0.3-41.el5_1.6 xen-devel-3.0.3-41.el5_1.6 So far I have a few Guest DOMU''s installed successfully - various CentOS flavors ... 1. I am able to successfully install Ubuntu 6.06 as a Xen guest 2. I try to add Ubuntus 7.04, 7.10, 8.x ... (all these for SW compatibility testing) - but I am unable to boot AFTER the first Ubuntu splash screen appears and I select Install from CD - then it simply attempts to reboot, and I think it''s unable to mount a hard drive, not sure, but a quick flash and then the virt-manager window just turns blank. I have tried to google, but unable to exactly pinpoint if any known issues with these versions of Ubuntu as a Xen guest exists. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Regards, aspasia. -- A S P A S I A . . . . . . . . . . .. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Hello, did you try to just to apt-install update-manager-core and do-release-upgrade -p ? I''m using this with xen-tools here as a standard procedure 1. create dapper (6.06) domU 2. update everything, install update-manager-core 3. upgrade the thing. Remember: - The standard Kernel of Ubuntu 8.04 is terribly broken when used with Xen. (and STILL not fixed although known & fixed by someone else for VERY long time). - You can either use the Dom0 kernel or install the fixed kernel https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/218126 Hope to have helped. --Joti a s p a s i a schrieb:> Hello all, > > I have a Xen kernel running on a CentOS 5.1: xen-users@lists.xensource.com > > The Xen versions I have are: > > rpm -qa | grep xen > kernel-xen-2.6.18-53.1.21.el5 > xen-libs-3.0.3-41.el5_1.6 > xen-3.0.3-41.el5_1.6 > xen-devel-3.0.3-41.el5_1.6 > > So far I have a few Guest DOMU''s installed successfully - various > CentOS flavors ... > > 1.

Hello Joti, I am actually trying that right now!!! .. :) I found this page from Ubuntu forum on upgrade paths: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes#head-4b642102f96e5f9788ca164311d65cd2caa5df44 So I am trying to upgrade 6.06 to 6.10 then to 7, etc. etc. BTW - I tried again on all of them and looked carefully at the blinking message prior to its hanging .. I think it does not include the virtual hard drive driver .... i''m guessing is it this it''s looking for? (found this as device_model paramater in the 606 ubuntu/xen config file stored in /etc/xen): /usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm thanks I will post my results - if anyone has any further suggestions, I would greatly appreciate!! best regards, aspasia.

Hello there, I sort of tried the steps below, and still have a bit of an issue ... I also posted in the Ubuntu forum ..... Wanted to list the steps, just in case anyone running Ubuntu on a domU may have some recommendations. ========== I have: dom0 - Centos 5.1 I would like to install Ubuntu hardy as a domU. The only Ubuntu version I can install properly with no problem is dapper (6.06). What I have done so far: 1. Install dapper as DomU (using the virt-install Xen CLI tool) 2. Upgrade dapper - using Ubuntu instructions to upgrade. 3. Dapper is upgraded successfully to a kernel: 2.6.15-51-amd64-generic 4. I tried to upgrade to 8.04 - gksu "update-manager -c" 5. The long process completed successfully and I rebooted. 6. Upon reboot the new kernel was stuck - and would not boot - it seems like it is unable to load the virtual HDisks driver 7. I found this thread and downloaded the kernel and installed via: dpkg -i <file> 8. It generated the kernels: vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-xen and initrd image: initrd.img-2.6.24-19-xen 9. Attempt to boot, I am unable to successfully boot - process pauses with the error: "Error 13: ... unsupported executable format" ... (indicates the xen kernel) " Am I missing something from the above steps? please advise. Best, Aspasia.
