I installed the 2.6.11-1.1226 versions of xen0 and xenU. xen0 boots fine and I'm able to run some small benchmarks. I followed the Quickstart Guide closely but xenU wouldn't boot. I only managed to get to the "repair filesystem" prompt. I discovered that the xenU file system didn't contain inittab, rc.d/rc.sysinit, or rc.d/rc files. I copied over these files from xen0 and the boot went a little further, but still complained about missing things. etc/init.d contains 90 files in the xen0 fs but only 43 files in xenU, and at least one of the missing ones is needed for boot. I did groupinstall Base. I could try copying over all of init.d but that doesn't seem like the right thing to do.
1) Has anybody successfully installed 2.6.11-1.1226 with Base, and did you get all the files needed to boot to runlevel 3? Maybe my install was broken and I need to start over from scatch.
I was successful earlier this week. One very helpful hint from Uli Drepper was to get the init files installed with the following:
rpm --noscripts --root /xen/base -vhi /xen/base/var/cache/yum/development/packages/initscripts-8.05-1.i386.rpm
You will need to adjust /xen/base the appropriate mount point.
2) Should I use a different group than Base? Is there info somewhere on the different groups available?
You should be able to use Base.
