[Xen-users] SuSE 9.3 XenU using the Xen 3 RHEL4.1 RPM

[Eamonn Kenny <Eamonn.Kenny@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,

The majority of the machines we use are running some variant of RHEL 4.4.
However I have two SuSE 9.3 virtual machines that were previously configured
correctly for Xen 2.0.7 in loopback files.

I've recently moved them to Xen 3.0.3 using LVMs but get errors such as:

# /etc/init.d/sshd restart
Shutting down SSH daemon                                             done
Starting SSH daemonmodprobe: FATAL: Could not load 
/lib/modules/2.6.16-xen3_86.1_rhel4.1/modules.dep: No such file or directory
modprobe: FATAL: Could not load 
/lib/modules/2.6.16-xen3_86.1_rhel4.1/modules.dep: No such file or directory
This results at boot time in an error that forces the runlevel to change 
from 3 to 4 which is a standalone mode that will have no sshd or network 
turned on. If I use "xm console" and log onto the relevant hosts I can 
start sshd and network and get the machines working but with the nasty 
error messages above. Does anyone know of a patch to fix this, or do I 
have to have a vmlinuz specially built for SuSE 9.3?
Currently my automatically loaded xenU /etc/xen/auto/suse9-vm contains:

kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-xen3_86.1_rhel4.1"

I am surprised the RHEL4.1 RPM doesn't work, because it works for CentOS 
4.4 and RHEL 3.0.7.
