[Xen-users] GRUB2 configuration for Xen 4 on Ubuntu Linux 10.04
Hello, I have installed the Xen 4.1.1 and a working kernel 2.6.32.43 which supports Xen on a Ubuntu Linux 10.04 LTS. However, I have never successfully booted the Hypervisor and Dom0. The screen is always black after some kernel messages rapidly go by. I think that I may pass the wrong parameters to the kernel or Hypervisor with GRUB2. Can any one share his/her working grub.cfg for GRUB2 with me? Many thanks, Chiu _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Notice the rootdelay=15, which helps with my LVM root LV. ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen ### menuentry ''Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 3.0.0-1-686-pae and XEN 4.1-amd64'' --class debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os --class xen { insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root=''(hd1,msdos1)'' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 4a996a2b-8e3c-45ef-9f0f-894dd2df519b echo ''Loading Linux 3.0.0-1-686-pae ...'' multiboot /xen-4.1-amd64.gz placeholder module /vmlinuz-3.0.0-1-686-pae placeholder root=/dev/mapper/kronos-root ro quiet rootdelay=15 echo ''Loading initial ramdisk ...'' module /initrd.img-3.0.0-1-686-pae } By the way, Ubuntu 11.10 server has out of the box support. You just need to grab the linux-image-server http://zulcss.wordpress.com/2011/09/04/xen-4-1-1-on-ubuntu/ Hope that helps.
