[Xen-users] How to start installing a Quad-Devel-Station?

[Michelle Konzack <linux4michelle@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Xen-Users,

I am running a Debian GNU/Linux Devel-Station (P2/366 MHz, 512MByte)
and use currently chroots which give some problems from time to time.

I have following configuration:

----8<------------------------------------------------------------------
/dev/sda1       /               7700 GByte      # Master System
/dev/sda2       swap             256 MByte      # Master System
/dev/sda3       /var             512 MByte      # Master System
/dev/sda4       /var/log         512 MByte      # Master System

/dev/sdb1       /Chroot-999     8800 MByte      # Debian Sid / Unstable
/dev/sdb2       swap             256 MByte      

/dev/sdc1       /Chroot-4.1     7000 MByte      # Currently unused
/dev/sdc2       swap             256 MByte      

/dev/sdd1       /Chroot-4.0     7000 MByte      # Debian Etch / Testing
/dev/sdd2       swap             256 MByte      

/dev/sde1       /Chroot-3.1     7000 MByte      # Debian Sarge / Stable
/dev/sde2       swap             256 MByte      

/dev/sdf1       /Chroot-3.0     7000 MByte      # Debian Woody / OldStable
/dev/sdf2       swap             256 MByte      

/dev/sdg1       /Chroot-2.2     7000 MByte      # Debian Potato
/dev/sdg2       swap             256 MByte      

/dev/sdh1       /Chroot-2.1     7000 MByte      # Debian Slink
/dev/sdh2       swap             256 MByte      

/dev/sdi1       /usr/src        9100 MByte
/dev/sdj1       /backups        9100 MByte
----8<------------------------------------------------------------------

Since GRUB does not work on this Mainboard, I must use LILO.

The system is configured to boot the "Master-System" and then starting
chroots using /etc/inittab:

----8<------------------------------------------------------------------
/dev/tty1       Console chroot Sid
/dev/tty2       Console chroot Sid
/dev/tty3       Console chroot Sid
/dev/tty4       Console chroot Sid
/dev/tty5       Console chroot Etch
/dev/tty6       Console chroot Etch
/dev/tty7       Console chroot Etch
/dev/tty8       Console chroot Etch

/dev/tty9       X-Server Sid
/dev/tty10      X-Server Etch
/dev/tty11      X-Server Sarge
/dev/tty12      X-Server Woody

/dev/tty13      Console chroot Sarge
/dev/tty14      Console chroot Sarge
/dev/tty15      Console chroot Sarge
/dev/tty16      Console chroot Sarge
/dev/tty17      Console chroot Woody
/dev/tty18      Console chroot Woody
/dev/tty19      Console chroot Woody
/dev/tty20      Console chroot Woody

/dev/tty21      Console chroot Master-System
/dev/tty22      Console chroot Master-System
/dev/tty23      Console chroot Master-System
/dev/tty24      Console chroot Master-System
----8<------------------------------------------------------------------

This is working fine since years except for some Server applications,
but now I want to transform it using Xen.

Now I have installed the Master-System using Debian/Etch with the Xen
3.0 stuff and the Debian-Installer want to force me to use GRUB which
I accept <seufz> and the Machine does not more boot.

What must I do, that dom0 start with LILO?
It seems, that it does not work the standard way.

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day
