hi again, Op donderdag 4 januari 2007 04:13, schreef Jeroen Beerstra: > hi there, > <big cut!> Just to make sure nobody is wasting time on this ... so far you haven't but one never knows ;) or just to help out somebody with similar problems. I have given up and grabbed myself an X/OS 4 x86_64 iso and guess what it just worked (tm)! Actually that is a bit oversimplified, since RHEL4 (and clones) is not XEN enabled by default so it did required some manual labour, but basicly this time following the guidelines from http://people.redhat.com/riel/RHEL4-Xen-HOWTO produced a working xen guest. The problem was with the initrd: - an initrd created on i386 RHEL4 for the x86_64 RHEL4 kernel doesn't has any modules in it, hence (?) it doesn't boot at all. - an initrd created on a FC6 guest is incompatible with RHEL4 (nash consumes 100% CPU and the correct devices for lvm are not created so the system doesn't boot) - finally an initrd created on the RHEL4 x86_64 guest (booted with qemu) for the x86_64 RHEL4 kernel did work. So you need a working x86_64 RHEL4 (clone) setup to be able to build a working initrd for the RHEL4 x86_64 xen kernels. This then does boot i386 RHEL4, but why bother :D However pygrub still doesn't work, same problem as before :( I was kindoff hoping there was some problem with x86_64 versus i386, but apparently that isn't it either ... anybody any ideas why pygrub is baling out with 'Error: invalid literal for int(): gh'?? http://people.redhat.com/riel/RHEL4-Xen-HOWTO suggests pygrub should work with RHEL4 guests. > > And then there is pygrub, with the FC6 guest created by virt-manager this > works like a charm, however with the X/OS guest it just won't work: > > # xm create -c VirtualXOS4 > Using config file "VirtualXOS4". > Going to boot X/OS Linux (2.6.9-42.36.ELxenU) > kernel: /vmlinuz-2.6.9-42.36.ELxenU > initrd: /initrd-2.6.9-42.36.ELxenU.img > Error: invalid literal for int(): gh > > I even tried copying over the grub installation from the FC6 x86_64 guest, > but the problem remains.
