HowtoForge Forums | HowtoForge - Linux Howtos and Tutorials - how do I setup a Ubuntu domU guest on a CentOS / Fedora Core XEN server?

Hi all,

Does anyone know how to install Ubuntu (either 7.10 or 8.04) as a XEN domU guest on a CentOS 5 / Fedora Core 8 XEN dom0 server?

I have tried installing Ubuntu as a fully virtualized guest, but the Ubuntu CD doesn't even bootup. I get the Linux bootloader, and that's it,it doesn't continue to boot. Odd.

When trying to install a Paravirtualized guest, I had to use the debootstrap method, but can't get it to boot up.

Code:

xm create anya_zanet

Using config file "/etc/xen/anya_zanet".

Error: (2, 'Invalid kernel', 'xc_dom_find_loader: no loader found\n')

This is the /etc/xen/anya_zanet config:

Code:

kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.23.1-42.fc8"

ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-2.6.23.1-42.fc8.img"

builder='linux'

memory = 256

name = "anya_zanet"

vcpus = 1

vif = [ 'bridge=xenbr0' ]

disk = [ 'phy:/dev/System/anya_zanet,hda1,w' ,  'phy:/dev/System/anya_zanet,hda2,w' ]

root = "/dev/hda1 ro"

on_poweroff = 'destroy'

on_reboot   = 'restart'

on_crash    = 'restart'
