[Xen-users] Install Ubuntu Feisty DomU on Ubuntu Hardy Dom0
Hello all, I needed to configure an Ubuntu7, Ubuntu8 and Gentoo 2007 server environment, so thought Id simply create a Hardy Dom0, which I have. 1. Using steps described in How2forge, I have an Ubuntu804 (Hardy) DomU installed on a Dom0 Hardy (Hardy on a Hardy) 2. I googled for other instructions that would have outlined how to install a different kernel (Feisty on a Hardy) Xen guest on a different Dom0 (Hardy) .. I found this site that describes how that shows 2 examples of installing a feisty and gusty DomU on a Feisty Dom0: http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-7.10-server-install-xen-from-ubuntu-repositories-p2 3. I followed the example on how to create a gutsy DomU on a feisty: http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-7.10-server-install-xen-from-ubuntu-repositories-p2 This is what I attempted to do - installing a 7.10 Xen DomU on a Hardy Dom0: xen-create-image --hostname=fedora710_clean --size=4Gb --swap=256Mb --ide --dhcp --dir=/home/xen --memory=256Mb --arch=amd64 --debootstrap --dist=feisty --install --mirror=http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ Unknown option: debootstrap Value "--mirror=http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/" invalid for option install (number expected) General Information -------------------- Hostname : fedora710_clean Distribution : feisty Partitions : swap 256Mb (swap) / 4Gb (ext3) Image type : sparse Memory size : 256Mb Kernel path : /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-16-xen Initrd path : /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-16-xen QUESTION - it is still using the default kernel defined in the /etc/xen-tools/xen-tools.conf which is the kernel and initrd files of the host machine - Kernel path : /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-16-xen Initrd path : /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-16-xen Feisty''s kernel is: not 2.6.24, right? Am I missing something here? Am a noob to xen, so please excuse if this is such an obvious and simple question. aspasia. -- A S P A S I A . . . . . . . . . . .. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

It is the hard way, but it will teach you more in the long run. This is still a work in progress, but it should get you started, give you some ideas: http://deshantm.livejournal.com/29959.html I would also recommend a book that I am a co-author of, it''s called "Running Xen".
