RE: [Xen-users] OpenSuse 10.2 & Xen 3.1 initrd file missing

["Chris Laware" <claware@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mats,

I've tried that and I get an error that the filesystem/directory in my
/boot/init-xen.img/etc/fstab cannot be found.  I've got all my modules I
need called out in the mkinitrd script (so my raid card driver, etc. will be
pre-loaded in the RAM disk).  Still looking......

Thanks,

Chris

That's probably a bug in the RPM - I presume that the RPM should produce
a initrd file - it can't have a pre-built one, because what your initrd
contains depends on the way your system is set up and what components
you have in the system. 

You should be able to make one yourself with "minitrd
/boot/<whatevername> 2.6.XX-xen" (2.6.XX-xen should match the kernel of
the Xen-kernel you installed with the package).
