[Xen-users] Re: installation help for xen3.0.2-2 with linux-2.6.16 kernel

["Hardeep Singh" <hardeepguru@xxxxxxxxx>]

I just found this on one of the installation pages on xen-wiki :

"Copy the modules directory
/lib/modules/2.6.<version>-xen to the /lib/modules directory of
your VM and make an initrd with mkinitrd. # mkinitrd /boot/initrd-xen-3.0.img 2.6.<version>-xen"

I did not do that. However I can not really understand what files to copy from and to where? Could someone give me some pointers on how to go about making my initrd?

root@pippin:/lib/modules# ls
2.6.12-9-686  2.6.16-xen

root@pippin:/lib/modules/2.6.12-9-686# ls
initrd   modules.alias   modules.ieee1394map  modules.pcimap    modules.usbmap
kernel   modules.ccwmap
  modules.inputmap     modules.seriomap  volatile
madwifi  modules.dep     modules.isapnpmap    modules.symbols

root@pippin:/lib/modules/2.6.16-xen# ls
build          modules.ccwmap       modules.inputmap   modules.seriomap
  source
kernel         modules.dep          modules.isapnpmap  modules.symbols
modules.alias  modules.ieee1394map  modules.pcimap     modules.usbmap

Hi all,

I'm new to Xen and am trying to install Xen3.0.2-2 on Ubuntu with kernel linux-2.6.16. I did make 'make world' and 'make install' and 'sh ./install.sh', however when try booting Xen it automatically reboots the system after sometime. My /boot/grub/menu.lst entry looks like the following.

title           Xen 3.0
kernel        /boot/xen-3.0.gz dom0_mem=262144
module      /boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xen root=/dev/hda1 ro console=ttyS0
boot

I am using a serial console to access the system and for that i've added the following to /boot/grub/menu.lst

serial --unit=0 --speed=38400 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1
terminal --timeout=10 serial console

and this to /etc/inittab

T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 38400 vt100

Any sort of help would be appreciated!

Regards

Hardeep
