[Fedora-xen] Running FC4 as guest in FC5 Xen

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

this is my first post to the list, and I've been reading it for a while. Although there are some posts regarding how to instal FC4 as a guest in FC5, I'm not able to get it running. FC5 guest is ok, but how do I install an FC4? I've followed all the steps for the FC4 QuickStart, I don't know which kernel should I load.

First, if using the kernel installed with my FC5 installation (vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2096_FC5xen0) the kernel boots, but then it hangs because it doesn't find the root fs (sda1). I've tried to do a chroot into my fc4 minimum installation (under /mnt) and install the vmlinuz-2.6.13-1.1532_FC4xenU, copy it to the host machine and put it into the configuration, but then, when booting the guest I get a message saying that the argument is invalid. Looking the logs, y see this:

ERROR: Will only load images built for Xen v3.0
ERROR: Actually saw: 'GUEST_OS=linux,GUEST_VER=2.6,XEN_VER=3.0,VIRT_BASE=0xC0000000,PAE=no,LOADER=generic'
ERROR: Error constructing guest OS

So, what are the exact steps (or the steps which differ from the FC4 XenQuickStart) that should I take in order to get FC4 running under FC5?

Thanks a lot in advance,
Ignacio.
