Re: [Xen-users] Uname shows 64bits rather than 32 : yum problem. 32 bits on dom0 64 bits is it possible ?

[Pascal <ml@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks!

well....

some tell that with xen 3.0.3 it is impossible to install 32 bits guests on 64 bits dom0 !
They said that it is possible only with xen 3.1 !

Others tell it is !

I ask this becasue I have installed a 32bits guets but when I 
do a uname -a on the guest i have this :
Linux fqdn.domain.com 2.6.18-8.1.6.el5xen #1 SMP Thu Jun 14 
18:01:24 EDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

it looks like it shows exactly the same info than the dom0
      

It shows what it is supposed to show: The kernel you are running.
 
  

It is a problem because yum, on the guest, looks for 64bits 
packages rather than 386 ones
      

That would be a pretty stupid bug in yum then. I see nothing wrong
with running a 64bit kernel with 32bit userspace (as you do). That is
perfectly supported in Debian.
 
  

Si it normal ?
How to tell to yum to look for i386 ?
      

If yum really is so stupid that is uses uname then run "linux32
yum".
