Boris,
Thanks for that info - unfortunately, I need to be running CentOS 5.4 for the Dom0, and I really shouldn't have a kernel that's not one of the standard CentOS packages, so I'm going to have to give up on Solaris as a Xen guest for now. I'll try VirtualBox or something.
Thanks,
- Johnson

www. gitco.de doesn't seem exist any longer. Your task works at OpenSuse 11.3 as well with "kotd" kernel, any current is OK. Suse 11.3 has Xen 4.0 and 2.6.34.2 XenLinux . I installed S10U8 HVM via virt-install.
Kernel of the day is download-able from location :-

The last time i installed Solaris 10u6 under Xen 3.3.1 CentOS 5.2 Dom0 ( kernel 3.0.3)
My guess would be : upgrade Hypervisor up to 4.0 via
http://gitco.de/repo if possible.
Oracle VM ( RHEL 5) i believe run at Xen 4.0.
I mean you need an exact info about Xen Version
& Dom0 Kernel of Oracle VM.
They based on Oracle Unbreakable Linux ( RHEL 5.X).
This config ( i mean Xen&Kernel_for_Dom0) should be able to run S10u9 HVM
Boris.
P.S. opensolaris forum is dead

Please, post "xm info", "brctl show", "xm list" when you attempt to pass Grub menu
( domain status ?)
Boris.

Hello,
I hope I'm not asking a FAQ, but I've searched google and this list and haven't manage to find an answer to this on my own.
I'm running Centos 5.4 64-bit on Intel Core-2 Duo CPUs. I'm trying to install Solaris 10 10/09 as an HVM guest on this system. I have the Solaris 10 10/09 x86 ISO image that I am booting from; I can see the GRUB menu, but when it tries to boot to the OS, I stop getting any console output. I've tried the standard [vnc] console, and I've tried using the xen serial 0 console and telling Solaris to boot using ttya or ttyb; nothing seems to work.
The Xen version I'm running
is:
xen.x86_64 3.0.3-105.el5_5.5 installed
The HVM configuration is:
name = "test1"
uuid = "01c2dc0e-dd8c-6ef2-d116-4e02f2a534d9"
maxmem = 1500
memory = 512
vcpus = 1
builder = "hvm"
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
boot = "d"
pae = 1
acpi = 1
apic = 1
localtime = 1
device_model = "/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm"
usb = 1
usbdevice = "tablet"
sdl = 0
vnc = 1
vncunused = 1
keymap = "en-us"
disk = [ "file:/export/test1.img,hda,w", "file:/root/sol-10-u8-ga-x86-dvd.iso,hdc:cdrom,r" ]
vif = [ "mac=00:16:36:4d:3e:2d,bridge=virbr0,script=vif-bridge,vifname=vif20.0" ]
parallel = "none"
serial = "pty"
Any help, tips, or even being beaten over the head with "you're stupid, just do this" messages would be appreciated :)
Thanks in advance!
- Johnson
