Hi,
I installed Fedora 10 as domU on CentOS 5.3. I need new 2.6.25.14 kernel
under domU (in order to patch it for MPLS protocol). I followed advice on
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Kernel.org_Linux_on_Xen, and compiled
kernel with XEN options enabled under domU. I got all relevant packages in
/boot and /lib/modules, but when I try to boot virtual machine I got this
error:
Error starting domain: virDomainCreate() failed POST operation failed:
(xend.err "Error creating domain: (2, ''Invalid kernel'',
''xc_dom_find_loader:
no loader found\\n'')")
Here is my grub under domU:
#boot=/dev/xvda
default=1
timeout=0
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu

vif = [ "mac=00:16:3e:4e:b9:40,bridge=virbr0" ]
extra = "console=hvc0"
If I try to compile kernel under dom0, I do not have in initrd xen-blkfront
module.
I tried to compile this kernel under Fedora 8 domU, as well, but when I try
to boot new kernel it alway says:
no xenblk module found!
According to new framework xenblk is replaced with xen-blkfront modules,
then, why does he ask for that one? I understand that Fedora 8 domU uses
2.6.21.xen kernel which belong to old framework, but anyway how can I
install mainline kernel on it?
Please, I would really appriciate any help, I''m really stuck up with
this,
for very long time, I do not know what else to do?

In addition I have one more question. Command file gave me this result: file /boot/* /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686.PAE: Linux kernel x86 boot executable RO-rootFS, root_dev 0x902, swap_dev 0x2, Normal VGA /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.25.14: Linux kernel x86 boot executable RO-rootFS, swap_dev 0x2, Normal VGA /root/router/vmlinux: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, not stripped /boot/vmlinux-stripped: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, stripped We can see that *root_dev 0x902* is missing from the kernel I''m supposed to boot, but in the kernel which I''m able to boot in domU (2.6.27.5-117.fc10) it is present. Can anyone tell me, how this happened? Please, any idea! _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
