backporting ZFS for pygrub

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

 



Hi, all,

The subject line might be a bit off, I'm looking for confirmation that I'm headed down the right path.

Goal: boot a nexenta DomU (ZFS root) on CentOS 5.2 (until Fedora is ready...)

I'm not really sure how the xen boot chain is put together. I find these in OpenSolaris:
  http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6690215
  http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6540109

which leads me to believe that pygrub uses libfsimage to read its stages/menu.lst and that from those above bugs I could probably extract some patches and see if they'll apply to the source in CentOS repos.

Anybody care to say if that sounds correct or likely or if I'm chasing wild geese?

Thanks,
-Bill
