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. Quote:

My paravirtualized domUs use their own kernel, but in your case if you want to run Ubuntu as a fully virtualized domU you should probably tell Xen to use the fake kernel coupled with qemu which will fully emulate the I/O devices. I think this works exactly the same way as if you would like to run Windows as a domU, therefore with ... Quote:
And one more thing: it would be better if you would first create an image of the Ubuntu-dvd with "dd" and refer in the configuration file to the image and not to the physical dvd-drive - the installation will be faster and I think there were/are some problems concerning reboots of the domU and not being able anymore to access the dvd-drive if that was used to perform the first boot. :) |
