Hello,

Hi!
I've recently installed Xen on a laptop with Ubuntu 12.04.
I've followed this guide (except for changing amd64 to i386):
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen

I'm using LVM filesystem and I have managed to install Ubuntu as PV guest
os, according to the "manually creating PV guest OS" in the guide.

But, when the installation of the guest OS is done, I can't boot the guest
OS.
Directly after the pyGRUB 0.6 menu appears, I get an error:

Error: (2, 'Invalid kernel', 'elf_xen_note_check: ERROR: Will only load
images built for the generic loader or Linux images')

When I do the same procedure with Debian, as in this guide:
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Debian_Guest_Installation_Using_Debian_Installer
everything works out fine and I can boot Debian.

What am I doing wrong?


The Ubuntu installer is detecting less than 4G of memory in your VM so it is installing the regular generic kernel. Set your VM to have 4G or more and it will install the PAE kernel.

HTH

Tom.
