[fedora] Xen

[Arcath]

ive got a fresh install of fedora 11 and ive installed the virtual management stuff in F11, i then installed XEN and went to set it as the default boot entry in grub, but it hasnt created any grub entries.

 

Can anyone paste the grub entries from a machine running Xen on Fedora?

Odd - did you try installing Xen by checking "virtualisation" in the install wizard? I don't run Fedora, but CentOS should be very similar:

 

title CentOS (2.6.18-53.el5xen)

root (hd0,0)

kernel /xen.gz-2.6.18-53.el5

module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.el5xen ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00

module /initrd-2.6.18-53.el5xen.img

 

You'll want to check and see the kernel version number you have and change the references above accordingly.

yeah, i had tried to make the entries and they turned out something like that and i get "Error 28: Selected item cannot fit into memory"

 

the entries i have are:

title Xen
kernel /xen-syms-3.3 ro root=/dev/mapper/vg_fog-lv_root rhgb quiet
initrd /xen-3.3.gz

Ah, that's because the item you selected doesn't fit in to memory. Er... Don't know, never had that one before. Some random architecture problem - the Xen-based kernel can't see your all your memory for some reason? Some 32 bit / 64 bit issue? Have you tried Googling the error code, any luck?
