I'm trying to bootstrap a CentOS-4 domU running on top of Debian dom0, and document the process for others to benefit from.
See:
http://mark.foster.cc/wiki/index.cgi?CentOS4onXen

Anyone else running a similar setup?

After doing xm create and xm console Domain02 I have an unusable system. The error that stands out is:
RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0.
...and...
modprobe: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.10-xenU/modules.dep: No such file or directory

However to get to this point I did rebuild my initrd.img using the process described in the Xen FAQ, adding in the lib/modules/2.6.10-xenU directory from the Dom0 system.

Here is the config for the VM.
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-xenU"
ramdisk = "/opt/xen/initrd-2.6.9-5.0.3.EL.img"
memory = 64
name = "Domain02"
dhcp = "dhcp"
disk = [ 'file:/opt/xen/domains/vm02/diskimage,sda3,w','file:/opt/xen/domains/vm02/swapimage,sda4,w' ]
root = "/dev/sda3 ro"

Any ideas?
Thanks so much.
