[Xen-devel] Porting of Guest OS

["Amitabh Tamhane" <amitabh_2k@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I am trying to boot a guest OS (SuSE 2.6 kernel) on Xen. But, it is giving 
me boot errors.
The steps I followed:
1) Created a raw diskFile with ext3 filesystem
2) Copied /{root,etc,dev,var,usr,bin,sbin,lib} from my SuSE 2.6 installation 
on to the diskFile
3) Created a config file as:
Important parameters are as follows:
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.27-xenU"
disk = ['file:FullPathToTheDiskFile,sda1,w']
root = "/dev/sda1"
(other parameters skipped)

4) Booted-up the new Domain

It is giving some-errors like /lib/modules/2.6.9-xenU/modules.dep not found. 
And boots up in the
Can anyone tell me what exact changes do i need to make to the SuSE 2.6 
kernel to be able to boot it as a new Domain?
I understand that the machine dependent code has to be changed with  new 
code provided by Xen....but I could not find a place where it 
says........."These are the exacts steps you need to follow for porting of 
Guest OS in a Domain"
Thanks in advance!
