[Fedora-xen] Fedora Core 5 Xen xenconfig migration from FC4

[Philipp Jäggi <philipp.jaggi@xxxxxxx>]

Hello out there

Till last week I hab my testserver running
fine with Fedora Core 4 and xen 3. At monday I had the idea to use the
new Fedora Core 5 with his new xen implementation. It's nice to create
a guest with their new xenguest-install.py script, but I need my old xen
domU configurations. Especially I have to run a Fedora Core 4 Guest, because
Oracle 10g is not running on FC5 (glibc problem). But when I try to use
my old configurations, I get an error message while booting:

Error: Error creating domain: Kernel
image does not exist: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2080_FC5XenU

So, the file exists, that's not the
problem. I tried also to use the xen-sysm.... variant. But nothing worked.
I used also the ramdisk option. My domU config file looks like:

kernel        
= "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2080_FC5xenU"
memory        
= 256
name         =
"sweb01"
extra         =
"selinux=0 3"


disk         =
['phy:VolGroup00/root.sweb01,sda1,w'
         
,'phy:VolGroup00/log.sweb01,sda3,w'
         
,'phy:VolGroup00/swap.sweb01,sda2,w'
         
]
root         =
"/dev/sda1"

### N E T W O R K

vif     = [ 'bridge=xenbr-pub'
, 'bridge=xenbr-int' ]


Hope sombody has a migration guide Xen
FC4 to FC5 for me.:-)

By the way, I don't understand how to
install now a FC4 in this new FC5 environment. Is it possible to do this
with the xenguest-install script???


bye Philipp
