I have been working with a few other Fedora contributors on the Fedora 16 feature "XenPvopsDom0", http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/XenPvopsDom0. This feature would provide a robust virtualization alternative based on Xen. Xen is a type-1, hypervisor-based platform and therefore has some different properties than KVM, et al. One of the integration points we'd like to improve has to do with grubby. As it is hypervisor-based, Xen requires grub to be configured a little differently than bare-metal Linux. In summary, where bare-metal Linux needs: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-... initrd /boot/initramgs-... Xen requires: kernel /boot/xen.gz module /boot/vmlinuz-... module /boot/initramfs-... There are two bugs in Bugzilla related to this: 658387, Patch to allow mbkernel and mbargs to be read from /etc/sysconfig/kernel 668063, Grubby does not handle "template" that uses module keyword properly Is anyone who is a grubby contributor interested in adding these features to grubby to support the XenPvopsDom0 feature? I've provided a patch in bug #658387. Thanks, -- Mike :wq -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
