[Xen-users] how to get pvgrub of pygrub onto Debian Sqeeze XEN?
Hi, I''m sorry for the direct question, but I can''t find an answer on google quickly. I setup a Debian sqeeze server and install XEN using the following instructions: http://wiki.debian.org/Xen But PvGrub doesn''t exist, and the referring URL, http://wiki.debian.org/PvGrub doesn''t actually have anything for it either. If you look at my other topic, CentOS 6 + XEN problems, you''ll see that I don''t know Debian so this is new to me. newusaxen:~# cat /etc/debian_version 6.0.2 xm info says I''m using XEN 3, and not XEN4 as I understood from the tutorial. Is this correct? xen_caps : xen-3.0-x86_64 xen-3.0-x86_32p hvm-3.0-x86_32 hvm-3.0-x86_32p hvm-3.0-x86_64 Can anyone direct me to a place where I can see how to install PvGrub or PyGrub on Debian Sqeeze, preferably using apt-get or something like that? I would prefer not to patch anything if I don''t have to. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532 _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I use CloudMin to setup the VM''s but it gives me the following error: Creating virtual system with Xen .. .. creation failed : Kernel loading with PyGrub or Pv-Grub was requested, but neither were found on So somehow it doesn''t see it.

Maybe the easiest way to fix this, could be to make a link in /usr/bin to pygrub ln -s /usr/lib/xen-4.0/bin/pygrub /usr/bin/pygrub I create my VMs with xm-create-image (Debian VMs of cause ;-). After creation I change the .cfg file and replace the kernel and ramdisk entry with the boot loader: #kernel = ''/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64'' #ramdisk = ''/boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64'' bootloader = ''/usr/lib/xen-4.0/bin/pygrub''> > > So somehow it doesn''t see it. > > Is there anything special I need todo to get XEN to see pygrub? > > >> >>> I would prefer not to patch anything if I don''t have to. >> Not necessary. >>> >>> -- >>> Kind Regards >>> Rudi Ahlers >>> SoftDux >>> >>> Website: http://www.SoftDux.com >>> Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com >>> Office: 087 805 9573 >>> Cell: 082 554 7532 >>> >>> _______________________________________________ >>> Xen-users mailing list >>> Xen-users@lists.xensource.com >>> http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Xen-users mailing list >> Xen-users@lists.xensource.com >> http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users >> > > > > -- > Kind Regards > Rudi Ahlers > SoftDux > > Website: http://www.SoftDux.com > Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com > Office: 087 805 9573 > Cell: 082 554 7532 > > _______________________________________________ > Xen-users mailing list > Xen-users@lists.xensource.com > http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users_______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
