Date: Wed, 2 Jun 2010 22:31:50 -0700 Message-ID: <201006022231.50818.dwight@supercomputer.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: Content-Disposition: inline List-Unsubscribe: , List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Sender: xen-devel-bounces@lists.xensource.com Errors-To: xen-devel-bounces@lists.xensource.com To: xen-devel@lists.xensource.com List-Id: xen-devel@lists.xenproject.org I came across an odd problem with adding the packages from the xs-tools.iso today. After mounting the ISO in a fresh CentOS 5.4 VM, and doing the .../Linux/install.sh, I ended up with this in the VM's grub.conf: ----- Start of the new grub.conf entry ---------- title CentOS (2.6.18-164.10.1.el5.xs0.1.1.64xen) root (hd0,0) kernel /xen.gz-2.6.18-164.10.1.el5.xs0.1.1.64 module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-164.10.1.el5.xs0.1.1.64xen ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet module /initrd-2.6.18-164.10.1.el5.xs0.1.1.64xen.img ----- End of the new grub.conf entry ---------- Now, having the Xen hypervisor running in a DomU would be exciting, but alas, xen.gz doesn't appear to have been installed. So, I have to conclude that either: 1. I'm missing this new DomU hypervisor. 2. The documentation is wrong. 3. The xs-tools ISO has a bug in it for the 0.1.1 XCP installation with RedHat distros. Truth to tell, I was given this VM to examine the problem, and didn't have time today to doublecheck the xs-tools.iso. I will do so tomorrow, but I wanted to get some feedback ASAP. So I'm wondering if this is indeed a bug somewhere? And has anyone added these tools to a CentOS/RedHat VM running on XCP 0.1.1? If it is a bug, it would be really nice to get this fixed before the next release of XCP. Thanks, -dwight-
