Re: [Xen-users] Xen - Linux PV on HVM drivers



I am stumped. I am glad I have ruled out the issue being with the Xen version, which means it can be fixed with some perseverance.

The annoying thing is that if I build the 2.6.39.1 kernel using the settings from the 2.6.38-8-server config template (which has almost every kernel option turned on in it (like most distro's do with their stock kernels)), I have the same issue. Are you doing anything else special in your initramfs image?

interestingly enough I have just been able to rule out it being a version issue. I have 2 VPS's with the same company. both appear to be running Xen 3.4.3. I booted the debian 6 installer CD and jumped out to a shell during the install. It looks like it was able to detect and load the PV on HVM
drivers ok.

So most likely is kernel issue :)


back to the dawing board it is then...

The linux image server package you're describing, is just the stock
kernel that ships with Ubuntu server?

Yes, although linux-image-server is just the metapackage.
The actual package with the kernel is linux-image-2.6.38-8-server
See http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/linux-image-2.6.38-8-server

linux-image-server is already the newest version.

What's on your /boot? It should already be there, ready to use.
