How to boot a PV Intrepid Xen kernel?
Hi,
I need to run Intrepid Xen domUs on a Debian Etch+backports dom0. Hardy -xen kernel works fine as domU, but there is no -xen kernel in Intrepid.
I have read:
https:/
and see that Xen should be in the standard kernel package now. But when I attempt to boot it via pygrub I get this:
Error: (2, 'Invalid kernel', 'xc_dom_
This suggests to me that it is not a paravirtualised Xen kernel.
So does anyone know what needs to be done to boot Intrepid kernels in a PV Xen domU using pygrub?
Cheers,
Andy

I have heard a rumour that booting this kernel under Xen PV will not
work unless the dom0 is running at least xen 3.3.x as it needs
something called "the vmlinuz bootloader patches".
I do find it hard to believe as not even Ubuntu Hardy has xen-3.3,
but if this is the case could anyone confirm?

Intrepid Xen 3.3 Hypervisor may be backported to Hardy Dom0.

Ubuntu Intrepid Server domU is also running fine at Xen 3.3.1 openSUSE 11.1 RC1 Dom0 and
Xen 3.3.1rc2-pre port to CentOS 5.2 (all Dom0s are 64-bit and Interpid Server DomU as well)

That is really disappointing. But thank you for confirming.

There is another way to manage :-

But, it requires source of /usr/lib/
Sun is doing open source and it should be at some of theirs xvm gates.
