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.

Hello all,

I have a Xen kernel running on a CentOS 5.1:  xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The Xen versions I have are:

rpm -qa | grep xen
kernel-xen-2.6.18-53.1.21.el5
xen-libs-3.0.3-41.el5_1.6
xen-3.0.3-41.el5_1.6
xen-devel-3.0.3-41.el5_1.6

So far I have a few Guest DOMU's installed successfully - various
CentOS flavors ...

1.  I am able to successfully install Ubuntu 6.06 as a Xen guest

2.  I try to add Ubuntus 7.04, 7.10, 8.x ... (all these for SW
compatibility testing) - but I am unable to boot AFTER the first
Ubuntu splash screen appears and I select Install from CD - then it
simply attempts to reboot, and I think it's unable to mount a hard
drive, not sure, but a quick flash and then the virt-manager window
just turns blank.

I have tried to google, but unable to exactly pinpoint if any known
issues with these versions of Ubuntu as a Xen guest exists.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

aspasia.
