Thiago,

Thanks for your help.

Do you have any idea if the same could be done using any of the Fedora versions. They also claim to be having Xen 3.2 inbuilt. So I am a bit confused.

Regards.

Subject: Re: [Xen-users] How do I get a version of Dom0 later than 2.6.18

Hi,

Try Ubuntu Hardy 8.04.1 with Proposed updates enabled in your /etc/apt/sources.list, you will have Linux 2.6.24-21-xen in your dom0.

Some infos:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen

With Ubuntu you basically install the system, install Xen and start creating your domUs.

1) Install Ubuntu with LVM, leaving space for your domUs;
2) Install ubuntu-xen-server (aptitude install ubuntu-xen-server);
3) Configure Xen-Tool in /etc/xen-tools/xen-tools.conf;
4) Create your 1st domU: xen-create-image --hostname=domu01 -dhcp -dist=hardy;
5) Start your new domU: xm create -c /etc/xen/domu01.cfg.

That's it!

Regards,
Thiago

Hi,

I have a generic question and hope some one would be able to help me:

In Fedora 9 I see options for installing virtualization with the options of KVM and Xen 3.2.
So if I go ahead with installing Xen in that what do I get? Do I get the Hypervisor and a version of
XenoLinux(Dom0) same as the kernel used in Fedora9 (2.6.25 I guess).

But I saw a thread mentioning some problems with Fedora 9: http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2008-06/msg00698.html

So is there any way in which I can get a Dom0 Linux kernel which is later than 2.6.18 (which we get from Xen site).

There were some mentions about using Fedora 8 for that . But the explanations were not clear to me.

So if any one can help by explaining whats the status, I will really appreciate that.

Thanks.
