RE: [Xen-users] Upgrade Proceedure

["Ian Tobin" <itobin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

well i did as you said but now the server wont boot.  It says unable to mount root device.

 

Im assuming its because it hasn't got the SCSI device driver loaded into the kernel so it looks like i need to do more than just untar /dist and running ./install.sh

 

do i need to import the config from the other source directory and run make arch=xen menuconfig ?

 

If so how would i import the existing config (if possible)

 

thanks

 

Ian

Most of the time that will be fine. I've had cases where it's not
working (the case in particular is if you install a 64-bit on top of
32-bit Xen - which will be entirely broken if you do that, because it
finds a mixture of 32-bit and 64-bit shared libraries, and that doesn't
work!)
