Re: [Xen-devel] Xen 4.1 compile from source and install on Fedora 17

[ranjith krishnan <ranjithkrishnan1@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for your replies!

Pasi, Are you suggesting me to install Fedora 18 and check grub2 configuration and try to build my new grub from that ? Since I have Fedora 17 installed now as Dom0 and have Xen working, can't I use this grub2 as a working example.

Dario and Gizmo,

 It is just that the machine I am working on is a university machine, and it has

 fedora 17, hence I am trying to get things working on Fedora 17 first. Installing

 a new OS means I have to give the machine to the system admins, which takes

 more time and me trying out things.

 I also remember reading in some forums where libvirt/virt-manager having

 issues running on Xen 4.2 and F18, which was why I started with Fedora 17

 in the first place.

 Dario,

 Did you compile Xen from source and install on F18 ? If yes can you give me

 some tips on how you got it working, especially the grub entries. When I first
 tried compiling/installing Xen from source, I was unable to boot Xen.

 Now that I have the grub.cfg file from the F17 (Xen installed using yum), can I

 use this as an example and edit my grub.cfg after I compile/install Xen?

 Also, grub2 tells us not to manually edit grub.cfg since it is autogenerated from
/etc/default/grub. So what is the right way to do it ?
