Hello All,
I finally compiled xen 3.3.0 using make World, installed it but I cannot get
it to Boot, I always get kernel panic, kernel not sync kind of errors, I
suppose it''s some hard disk or partition issue, my setup is as follows.
CentOS 5.2 x86_64 on a HP ML-115
Grub, menu.list
Entries
CentOS xen''s line
title CentOS (2.6.18-92.1.22.el5xen)

/boot is on a regular partition / is also outside LVM but it never works.

As you see I have a LVM setup and regular lines work, but my own line
following Xen docs, doesn''t I even created an initrd image as it works
on
stock CentOS kernels.
Everything compiled fine and installed too, please help me, I always have
the same problem when I compile custom kernels, my system can never boot,
may be I have to compile LVM support into the kernel rather than as Module.
Has anyone made this work with similar setups as mine?
Can anyone give me a lead, thanks.

Re: [Xen-users] Booting issue on CentOS 5.2+Xen 3.3.0
***********************************************************************
To port Xen 3.3.1-rc4 e to xen disabled CentOS 5.2 instance (64 bit)
install the most recent version of gitco and mercurial (hg).
***********************************************************************
# cd /usr/src/
# hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-3.3-testing.hg
# cd xen-3.3-testing.hg
# make world
# make install
Determine the name of the Xen Linux kernel version that was installed.
# ls /lib/modules
There should be a directory for the Xen Linux kernel (e.g.2.6.18.8-xen)
Generate the module dependency list and map files
# /sbin/depmod 2.6.18.8-xen
Create the Xen initial ramdisk image
# /sbin/mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img 2.6.18.8-xen
Disable tls
# mv /lib64/tls /lib64/tls.disabled
Set xend service to start
# /sbin/chkconfig –add xend
# /sbin/chkconfig xend on
Install bridge-utils:-
# yum install bridge-utils
************************************************************************
Edit /boot/grub/grub.conf and copy one of the existing boot entries
to make the required changes for Xen and reboot into new kernel.
*************************************************************************
title Xen-3.3.1 CentOS 5.2 x86_64 (2.6.18.8-xen) (/dev/sdb12)
root (hd1,11)
kernel /xen-3.3.gz
module /vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen ro root=/dev/VolGroup01/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
module /initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img
**************************************************************************
View for details :-
http://lxer.com/module/newswire/view/112300/index.html
If you don''t like clone , download from
http://www.xen.org/download/index.html
Linux 2.6.18 with Xen 3.3 support source tarball
./install.sh should work like "make install"
But, personally, i haven''t verified it.

RE: [Xen-users] Booting issue on CentOS 5.2+Xen 3.3.0
Hello David, Boot up the working kernel and check which modules are loaded and try passing a number of them (especially the ones for your disks) to mkinitrd (using the --preload option) and make a custom ramdisk. I had this problem in the past where Xen wouldn''t load the proper modules to access the disks on boot, which I thought was a little ridiculous haha.
