[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.

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".
