[Slackbuilds-users] xen again

[Paul McCormack]

I'm not sure that my first post made it through so the humour may be 
lost but here goes.


I have a dom0 running on Slackware64 14.1, 3.10.17 with multilib and 
updated using slackpkg "Slackware64 14.1"


xl list gives me


Name ID Mem VCPUs State Time(s)

Domain-0 0 512 4 r----- 9.2


I built the domU image as per the slackbuild and I can mount it. I 
modified the script to install from a USB drive. This works but lilo did 
not run.


when I try to create the domain xl panics..


In the mydom config file the first two lines are


kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-xen"

ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-xen.gz"


So I'm a little confused as I expected to see


kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz"

ramdisk = "/boot/initrd.gz"


Checking the slackware.img /boot/vmlinuz -> /boot/vmlinuz-huge-3.10.17


I guess that the way forward is to either copy the "*-xen" files to 
mnt/boot and or run mkinitrd.


I think the former due to fact that we symlink lib/modules/3.10.17-xen 
to lib/modules/3.10.17


ok tried that - copied vmlinuz-xen and initrd-xem.gz over to boot no change


xl create -c mydom results in.........

am I heading in the right direction here? I've tried searching and can't 
figure it out.
