[Xen-users] Upgrading Guest Kernel



[ I reviewed some of the list's archives as well as did the        ]
[ mandatory "Internet search", but couldn't find any info ... -khj ]

I am running Ubuntu-12.04 as a Xen-based "virtual machine".

Though I've added three new kernels to the VM:

  /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-23-generic-pae
  /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-32-generic-pae
  /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-33-generic-pae

... I can't get any of them to install/boot.

Here's what "usage -a" shows on the VM:

  Linux vps2 2.6.32-28-generic-pae #55-Ubuntu SMP \
    Mon Jan 10 22:34:08 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I tried to install/use 'grub' and 'grub-pc' (as I do on other
non-virtualized Linux systems), but can't seem to find a way to specify
one of the above kernels as the guest boot image.  Here's a screen image
of my failed attempt to configure 'grub-pc':

Though I am an experienced Linux user (build kernels, etc.) and have
used other virtualization systems (e.g., VirtualBox), I can't seem to
figure this out!  My hunch is that I don't quite understand how Xen
works ... ;-)


Any help is *most* appreciated!
