Xen


Hello everybody
I wonder whether I could get some help from you all for another small problem.

1. When the computer starts, I can start open SUSE 10.2, Fedora 7 and Windows XP.

2. In the menu there is an item named ' open SUSE 10.2 (XEN) too.

3. I clicked it to get the following message;

root ( hd 0,4)
File system type is ext 2fs, partition type 0x83
Kernel /boot/xen.gz
Error 15: File not found

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is XEN?
What is the meaning of the above message?
How do I solve the problem?

I have heard about XEN free software for virtualization similar to VMware's software for server virtualization.
[ I didn't install XEN. It came with open SUSE package and just installed.]

Here's a few comments for you:

1.) Per the forum rules - don't bump your posts before 24 hours have
passed.


2.) Learn to "read the friendly manuals" instead of asking others
to do it all for you ... be inquisitive under your own steam.
Look at the output of your package manager when you search for
XEN. Try to locate which package contains the missing xen.gz


I mean: "file not found" ... come one!! What could possibly be
the cause of that message? The file isn't there? Oh ...



Cheers,
Tink

Yes, it didn't find the file. That is the meaning of the message.
How do I fix the problem?

By installing it. Which is where the looking through the
package manager comes into the picture.

Do you even need XEN? You could of course just remove that entry from your GRUB config if you don't..

Nylex is correct.
I can remove it from the GRUB.
I am a bit curious about it.
What is it?

It's a virtualisation engine ... read the package description? :}
