Re: [Xen-users] Best Distro for Xen, Software Raid and LVM

I've tried Ubuntu (Breezy and Dapper) and CentOs 4.3. I wasn't satisfied with either. When I installed Dom0, I configured the drives for software raid and lvm. Then after downloading the Xen source, building and installing it, I couldn't get the Xen kernel to boot. The difficulty was only componded by both distros installing LILO.
Are you trying to put your root directory (/) onto software raid? If so, that, not your distribution, may be the problem -- as far as LILO is concerned. Also, note that your root device should be running ext2 or ext3 if you want the path of least resistance with the linux kernel binaries shipped by Xensource.

I'm running Xen on Debian and Ubuntu as hosts...
