[Xen-users] build initrd for paravirt_ops kernel in official kernel tree
Is it possible to build and use a initrd for the paravirt_ops kernels or do one have to build all modules within the kernel? //rolf _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

If you use a distro supplied kernel, then the modules that came with it will suffice. I find the trick to getting initrd to work without a lot of --with''s and --preload''s (ie - guessing) is to run it within the domu itself, so that initrd has the domu''s viewpoint of what virtual devices are present, even for pv domus. If you don''t have the domu running yet, create it with a kernel-xen first, then boot it and install your pvops kernel and ramdisk. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
