Xen project Mailing List

I have follow instruction hereÂhttps://www.coolacid.net/articles/39-latest/150-getting-opensuse-kernel-to-work-on-ubuntuÂand download the opensuse xen kernel from here Âhttp://software.opensuse.org/package/kernel-xen. I used rpm2cpio, I extracted it by command :

rpm2cpio /path/to/file.rpm | cpio -i --make-directories

and there is two directories extracted, /boot and /lib. I copied this two into my / and update the initramfs.

update-initramfs -k [kernel name] -c

and update my grub

update-grub

shutdown my domU and start it again. I can see the kernel listed on my grub,Â

Â pyGRUB Âversion 0.6

Opensuse has git of kernel-source and if you checkout git then you can extract patchÂagainstÂ3.8.6.
Otherwise you need toÂhttp://www.g-loaded.eu/2008/01/28/how-to-extract-rpm-or-deb-packages/Âfollow this to extract kernel package and follow rest of directionsÂ

Hi all,

I am working on my server with Xen, I have installed xen 4.2.2 with Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit as Dom0 and domU. However I want to use Remus that will work efficient if the operating system have suspend event channel support. Opensuse has this ability in its kernel version. I read this blogÂhttps://www.coolacid.net/articlesÂhow ever it seem old and I can't find if he succeed install opensuse kernel in his system. Does anybody have experienced on this circumstance?

Best Regards,
