[Xen-users] Debian domU installation problem: Invalid kernel

[Andrey <basketboy@xxxxx>]

Hi,

My configuration is the following:

Xen 3.3.1 compiled from sources(with PAE enabled)
Dom0 Debian Etch i386

I'm trying to create Debian domU from scratch with netinst and get the 
kernel and ram disk to boot to installation procedure from install.386/ 
folder of netinst iso image. Then I use the following config file 
debian.cfg for installation:
kernel      = '/xen/kernel/install/vmlinuz'
ramdisk     = '/xen/kernel/install/initrd.gz' 

memory      = '1024' 

root        = '/dev/xvda1 ro' 

disk        = [ 'tap:aio:/xen/domains/debian/debian.img,xvda,w'] 


name        = 'debian'
vif         = [ '' ]
vfb = [ 'type=vnc,vncunused=1' ]


on_poweroff = 'destroy'
on_reboot   = 'restart'
on_crash    = 'restart'

After running 'xm create /etc/xen/domu/install/debian' I get the error:

Using config file "/etc/xen/domu/install/debian".
Error: (2, 'Invalid kernel', 'elf_xen_note_check: ERROR: Will only load 
images built for the generic loader or Linux images')
What is the problem? Xen can't recognize Debian kernel from netinst iso?

Also I've noted that there was a such problem with installing Fedora 11 
in domU. It's netinst ISO have 2 versions of kernels non-PAE and PAE. In 
the case of non-PAE kernel I got the same error. With PAE boot kernel 
everything works fine.
I know that I can use xen-tools for creating domU but I want to try this 
method.
Thanks.
