Hi Boris,

 

I was following your steps and got stuck in the middle.  Here is what I did...

 

Step 1 was sucessfull and Xen Hypervisor 3.4.2 is installed successfully.

 

Now while doing the step 2

 

STEP 2:

 

 Install Libvirt

# yum install libvirt libvirt-python python-virtinst \

virt-manager virt-viewer  (THIS WENT THROUGH SUCCESSFULLY)

 

PVOPS kernel 2.6.31.6 may be installed via Jeremy Fitzhardinge
Git Repository to support Xen 3.4.2 Dom0.

# git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git linux-2.6-xen            (THIS WENT THROUGH SUCCESSFULLY)

# cd linux-2.6-xen

# make menuconfig ( setup Xen Dom0 support)  (HOW TO SET UP THIS ?)
# make -j(x)(number_of_kernels)  (I DID MAKE -J, WHAT SHOULD I GIVE HERE IN PLACE OF x. ??

 

 BUT GAVE ME ERRORS.  I DONT KNOW WHAT WRONG I AM DOING HERE.  CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME OUT IN THIS?)

 

I HAVE ATTACHED THE LOG FILE FOR YOUR REFERENCE.  I AM USING FEDORA 12 MACHINE.

 

Thanks

BK

Now build pvops kernel.
Instructions bellow.
Reading PVOPS WIKI would help as well

Now I am able to do  yum install kernel-xen xen.

 

I can see the xen Images sitting in /boot directory.  Its xen-3.4.2.gz and xen.gz.

 

Is this what to be expected ? 

 

I changed the grub.conf file to boot with Xen as below

 

title Fedora (2.6.31.9-174.fc12.x86_64)

       root(hd0,0)

       kernel /xen-3.4.2.gz

      

My question is I dont see vmlinuz-2.6-xen0 in /boot directory. 

 

Do I need to add this line module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xen0 ???  But I dont see this file .When we do yum to insall xen, will it also install vmlinuz-2.6-xen0 also ??

 

Any idea what went wrong here??

 

thanks

BK
