I have
the boot image (FC4 domU) in /boot
And
the modules in the modules dir
I also
have FC4 domU installed on the FC4 Guest
You've
got the FC4 Xen kernel installed in your dom0?

You disabled
SELinux and rebooted the machine?

Dear Robert
First of all, I've had the
same questions and problems as you have now. This style of none documentation
by the fedora team is just a shame for the whole open source community!
Probably Jeremy Katz is too busy by meeting his new board members friends, so
that he has no more time to write just a little documentation with
explanations, not just a unusable mini mini howto.
What the big problem is behind the
FC5 and Xen implementation is, that the xen guys at fedora have no idea what
SELinux is doing. So, finally they made an implementation of xen and SELinux
that is not usable. If you don't want to spend two weeks configuring your
SELinux, you have to decide, if you use in future SELinux or Xen (By the way,
the same issues you have with httpd and SELinux).
So my personal proposal is, that
you just disable SELinux wherever you find it on your FC5 installation. After
disabling SELinux (you have to reboot so that everything works fine, => Oh
I like this old nice M$ Win95 style of system management) you can use your xen
config as you posted in your mail.
With the xenguest-install.py script you can't
install FC4 or another distribution, because the FC5 guys made an adaptation
of the anaconda system installer. By the way, this is a nice feature, because
you can now kickstart your FC5 installation.
If you want to install a new non FC5 guest, do
it in the old style. Create your devices with LVM and perform a yum
groupinstall with --installdir=yourdevice.
The Point is I have
done this I have FC4 images. I have copied the fc4 domU kernel and modules to
the Dom0 and still I can not find a config that boots
As you can see, Fedora Core 5 is a typical
example for bad IT Management. They tried to do a lot of thing in a short
time. So several teams worked on different things and now, nothing really fits
together. The whole implementation of the SELinux is a disaster. So for
professional use, you have to go back to Fedora Core 4. Also because the
oracle stuff is not working with the new glibc (it's not possible to start the
listener... :-(). I by myself have to use FC5, because I need to kickstart my
xen installation and need apache 2.2. If you don't need those features, use
CentOS or the original RHES.
Hope I gave you the right hints.
bye Philipp

| [Fedora-xen] Running FC4 on
FC5 |
|
I am attempting to run an FC4
image on an FC5 machine
I have prepped the image as per the FC4 quick
start
my xen config is as follows
kernel
="/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.13-1.1532_FC4xenU"
memory = 100
name =
"vm01"
vcpus = 1
vif= ['mac=FE:FD:25:63:74:49']
disk = [
'file:/root/VM/fedora.img,sda1,w' ]
root = "/dev/sda1"
extra = "ro
selinux=0 3"
All I get is
# xm create vm01
Using config file
"vm01".
Error: Error creating domain: (22, 'Invalid argument')
Has
anyone got a simple 1 NIC guest config for FC4 on FC5
I see that the
new FC5 uses
An init image as part of the boot
A python based boot
loader
and a python based install script
Is there any way to hack
this lot to do an install like the FC5/FC5 one?
How are the init images
built?
Will the new installer do other guest OS's in the
future?
Robert
