I have been unable to install Fedora 12 or 13 as a guest OS. I am running Xen 3 on CentOS 5.5 . I am wondering if there is a trick to it, boot options needed, etc.? If I try to install paravirtualized, it complains that there is no Xen kernel. If I try to install fully virtualized, it begins booting the kernel, and after printing the messages about initializing the cgroups, it hangs. I have not been able to get past this point and into the installer. I have just joined this list, so if this is an FAQ, please point me to previous discussions and I''ll be happy to read up on my own. Thank you, --Greg _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

IIRC, there''s a special support needed to run pv_ops domU kernel, and I''m not sure whether it''s backported to RHEL/Centos version of Xen. Make sure your version is fully updated ("yum update"). If it still doesn''t work, try upgrading xen to unofficial version from http://www.gitco.de/repo/ I recommend using well-tested 3.4.2. Other people on this list have said 4.0 works as well though. -- Fajar _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
