RE: [Xen-users] No init found.

[Colin Coe <CCoe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've had some progress with this.  I've found that an initrd is indeed
required but I've been unable to build one that works on the Blade servers
in domU.  Can someone whos got this working on an IBM Blade advise how this
is done?  I keep getting 'unknown symbol errors' when loading the modules in
the initrd.

Thanks

Hi all

I have dom0 happy now but am having real issues with domU.

Hardware
- IBM HS20 Blade (884325M)
- 2G RAM
- 36G sda (hardware RAID1)

Software
- RHEL ES4 update 2
- Xen 3.0.0 pre-built binaries for x86_64 (untar's to
'xen-unsatble-install')

Config
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.xenU"
memory = 256
name = "vm1"
disk = [ 'phy:rootvg/xen_vm1,sda1,w' ]
hostname = "vm1"
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"

domU fstab
/dev/sda1            /                    ext3         defaults
1 1
none                     /dev/pts             devpts       gid=5,mode=620
0 0
none                     /proc                proc         defaults
0 0
none                     /dev/shm             tmpfs        defaults
0 0

dom0's / (/dev/rootvg/root) has been copied to /dev/rootvg/xen_vm1 and the
relevent mods made.

Do I need to roll my own initrd?  How do I do this for Xen?  I've read about
Debian and debootstrap, does this apply to me?  Any ideas?

Thanks
