Hy Sebastian,

1. Get the lastest xen-src.
2. copy to your /usr/src/
2. tar xzf xen-unstable-src.tgz
3. cd /usr/src/xen-unstable-dir/
3. make world (be sure your box has internet access to xen get the linux-2.6.16 from kernel.org).
4. make install
5. copy my .config(config-2.6.16-xen-ok) to your xen_unstable_directory/linux.2.6.16-xen/ (dont forget to rename to .config)
6. at /usr/src/xen-unstable-dir/ run the commands:
make linux-2.6-xen-config CONFIGMODE=menuconfig (my .config has much trash)
make linux-2.6-xen-build
make linux-2.6-xen-install
depmod 2.6.16-xen
mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd-2.6.16-xen.img 2.6.16-xen
7. dont forget to change your boot loader.
8. reboot

Hello,


Problem: Debian(linux-image-xen-686) Dom0 does not boot from LSI MegaRaid

I'm sorry, because I don't know if I'm at the right place to ask for a
solution for my problem, because it might be Debian related. Nethertheless I
try:

Xen Kernel are in Debian Unstable for a month or so. I'm running an Etch
(testing) machine here and I wanted to try out Xen. I followed this guide here:

http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/396

The only difference is that I set APT::Default-Release "testing"; in my
apt.conf so that the rest of the system stays in etch (just the xen kernels
are not in etch).

In my system is a LSI Megaraid SCSI Controller; there no problem booting
from it using the xen-less Debian Kernel. But when I boot up the Xen Kernel
I get some IO Error messages about sda (some sectors; especially sector 0).
The boot process ends with the message "Waiting for root filesystem" and
after a while I'm in BusyBox.

I tried the same guide from above in a VMware machine (so without
complicated hardware) and everything worked out fine.

I would like to give more boot screen messages but I don't know how I can
save them (since the boot process is interupted).


Thank you in advance for any idea or direction where to go...


Sebastian Ewert
