I'm
aware it will give you errors. But it will still boot - you
will need to configure grub manually.
Here
is a sample grub.conf
default=0
timeout=5
hiddenmenu
title
Debian 5.0, kernel 2.6.26-1-xen-686
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-xen-686 ro
root=/dev/xvda1
initrd /initrd.img-2.6.26-1-xen-686
Change
the root= to whatever your device is.

Thanks for the idea.
But, well still the same problem.
Debootstrop went fine, but apt-get install linux-image-xen-686 gives
the same
problem :
Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub
Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.

And update-grub does nothing !
Do you have the same problem/bug ?

Hi
Francois,
Use
this to do your debootstrap:
debootstrap
--arch=i386 --include=libc6-xen,firmware-bnx2,grub
--components=main,contrib,non-free lenny /mnt/xen http://ftp2.fr.debian.org/debian
Then,
once complete, chroot /mnt/xen
Edit
/etc/apt/sources.list to your liking (make sure you add
lenny/updates!).
mkdir
-p /boot/grub
apt-get
update
apt-get
install linux-image-xen-686
Make
sure /boot/grub/menu.lst is configured correctly and you should be good
to go.
Regards,
Alan
Hello,
I can't solve my problem. I want a 32 bits Lenny domU into a 64 bits
Lenny
dom0.
I plan to use pygrub for that (xen 3.2.1).
So, I tried to debootstrap a 32 bits domU into a 64 bits dom0.
debootstrap --arch=i386
--include=libc6-xen,firmware-bnx2,linux-image-2.6.26-1-xen-686,linux-modules-xen-686,linux-image-xen-686,grub
--components=main,contrib,non-free lenny /mnt/xen http://ftp2.fr.debian.org/debian
But i have this problem at the end :
dpkg: error processing linux-image-2.6.26-1-xen-686 (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of linux-image-xen-686:
linux-image-xen-686 depends on linux-image-2.6.26-1-xen-686; however:
Package linux-image-2.6.26-1-xen-686 is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing linux-image-xen-686 (--configure):

Errors were encountered while processing:
linux-image-2.6.26-1-xen-686
linux-image-xen-686
I read this article http://ressukka.net/blog/posts/20090217_Xen_domU_upgrades/
So, I update domU.cfg :
bootloader = '/usr/lib/xen-3.2-1/bin/pygrub'
root = '/dev/xvda1 ro'
disk = [
'phy:/dev/xen-lvm/386-disk,xvda1,w',
'phy:/dev/xen-lvm/386-swap,xvda2,w',
]
and domU fstab :
/dev/xvda1 / ext3 defaults 0 1
/dev/xvda2 none swap defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
But dpkg --configure -a gives the same dpkg problem !
And update-grub does not generate any files under /boot/grub !!
How to fix that ?
François C.
