[Xen-users] Xen 3.3 unstable on OpenSUSE 10.3 - initrd problem
Folks,
Mercurial is selectable as an installation in
OpenSUSE 10.3 YAST.
I have done the following:
hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-unstable.hg
hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg
make dist
sh ./install.sh
I tried running the following to create the initrd but it failed:
Depending on your config, you may need to use ''mkinitrd'' to
create
an initial ram disk, just like a native system e.g.
# depmod 2.6.18.8-xen
# mkinitrd -v -f --with=aacraid --with=sd_mod --with=scsi_mod
initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img 2.6.18.8-xen
It states that it does not understand the "--". I''ve tried
reading
mkinitrd -h, but I cannot seem to figure out the
proper syntax for the mkinitrd command.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Try: mkinitrd -v --with=aacraid --with=sd_mod --with=scsi_mod -f initrd-2.6.18.8- xen.img 2.6.18.8-xen _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
