[Xen-users] Easiest way to install PVM of a different Linux Distro?
Hi All, I''ve been reading up here, out of curiosity, (http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/OpenSolarisPVonLinux) on running OpenSolaris 2008/05 as a PVM. I''m currently running CentOS 5.2 x64_86 and Xen 3.2.1 on a server and was wondering if I wanted to install a PVM instance of say, Ubuntu 8.04 from a DVD ISO, (instead of HVM) what would the steps be required to do so?

Ubuntu 8.04 DVD ISO is not xen enabled.
Some other schema works :-

Re: [Xen-users] Easiest way to install PVM of a different Linux Distro?
If you have HVM, you should be able to install an Ubuntu domU using that and then convert it to a PV domU. Alternatively, from RHEL you should be able to compile debootstrap and use that to initialise an Ubuntu root filesystem. Neither of these options "just work" out of the box, you''ll need to do a little fiddling with the domU''s config and with the Xen config file but both should lead you to a working Ubuntu domU eventually.
