Re: [Xen-users] Ubuntu 7.x and 8x as Xen Guest OS

[Joti Mail <joti.mail@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

did you try to just to apt-install update-manager-core and 
do-release-upgrade -p ?
I'm using this with xen-tools here as a standard procedure
1. create dapper (6.06) domU
2. update everything, install update-manager-core
3. upgrade the thing.

Remember:

- The standard Kernel of Ubuntu 8.04 is terribly broken when used with 
Xen. (and STILL not fixed although known & fixed by someone else for 
VERY long time).
- You can either use the Dom0 kernel or install the fixed kernel 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/218126
Hope to have helped.
