RE: [Xen-users] How to install etc



Yes, as long as your machine normally reboots when you do "reboot" (or "shutdown -r <time>")in the shell, you should be fine installing Xen from remote. You would obviously have to figure out exactly which kernel modules you need to boot the machine (or at least figure out a set of kernel modules that INCLUDE all the ones you need - it doesn't make a whole lot of difference if you get a few too many) . If you miss out on a driver for either your root filesystem or some hard-disk driver for the root-drive, then you'll be in trouble and need help to get it back to working again - of course, if you have a remote setup, you probably have a remote reset/power switch type thing - in which case you're OK as long as you have a way of rebooting and telling the system to boot into "safe-mode" [a plain Linux kernel for example].

Hi there,

Not to be rude or anything, but have you tried searching yourself a bit?

Good places to start is Google (Search for stuff like "Linux
virtualization", Xen, UML, VMware, etc..)

The Xensource wiki ( http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/ )

And the mailing list archives ( http://lists.xensource.com/ )
For the archives, pick a list in the link above, click archives, and
search for what you want.. You're very likely to find someone has
already answered your question..

Good Luck!
