XenServer is pretty much an optimized, preconfigured dom0, designed to "just work", but at the same time doesn''t allow users from modifying dom0 (e.g adding programs, etc.) by default. You could probably hack something here-and-there, but it has the potential to break things. The official way to upgrade dom0 is by using CD installer (if/when it''s available) of the next version of XenServer. If you want full control over dom0, use a normal Linux distro, like Centos/Opensuse/Ubuntu. -- Fajar -- Fajar _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Very grateful for the reply. But the condition is to install a slackware 13 dom U Xen guest since we are using slackware as the standard in our server farm . And xen kernel has issues of not booting with lilo and grub by default with 2.6.27 .I wanted to try out kernel version 2.6.34.4 might seam to work since Currently (as of May 2010) patches and Xen dom0 kernel packages exist up to Linux 2.6.34 (Xen dom 0 kernel rebased OpenSUSE xen-patches), and further more how would someone apply these patches to upgrade the old kernel 2.6.27 to 2.6.34.4 Any advice on this is highly welcome and appreciated What is the best way of creating a VM in xenserver 5.6 which uses the *XE*commands other than the previous *XM* .Is it by xen guest template or starting a fresh installation ?. (Since i am new to XS5.6 and i have got no VM template). Where can i find xen guest templates for slackware 13 or what linux distro can i use in order to modify and have my slackware dom U guest OS Could somebody out there who has gone through the exercise help with a procedure for installation of a linux guest VM Thanx Moses On Tue, Sep 21, 2010 at 5:22 PM, Fajar A.

For example, Ubuntu Lucid domU with default setup requires special grub2 and ext4 support only available in Xen 4.0.1.

Try Citrix forums instead. This list is mostly for users of Xen hypervisor on top of normal Linux dom0, plus users of XCP ( http://www.xen.org/products/cloudxen.html). -- Fajar _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
