Hello, I have the RHEL4.1 Linux as dom0 and want to intstall Fedora 5 Core Linux as domU... I have created the ext3 filesystem in vm1disk file: ================================================ dd if=/dev/zero of=vm1disk bs=1k seek=16384k count=1 mkfs -t ext3 vm1disk ================================================ Then I created a logical volume: ================================================ mount -o loop vm1disk /mnt losetup /dev/loop0 vm1disk pvcreate /dev/loop0 vgcreate vg /dev/loop0 lvcreate -L14G -n compnode vg lvcreate -L1G -n compswap vg ================================================ Now I want to install Fedora 5 Core Linux as the guest domainon that volume.Can anyone point me to the documentation of how can I do that?The easiest way (that I know of) is to use the CDROM/DVD image(s) to install the OS directly into the device, using a CD-boot as the way to tell the HVM domain what to do... Of course, this doesn't work if you don't have VT/SVM - in that case you're probably best off creating a separate partition and if you must have a file-base installation, createa file by using dd from the partition to the file...Here's a HVM congiguration to boot CDROM I posted earlier: import os, re arch = os.uname()[4] if re.search('64', arch): arch_libdir = 'lib64' else: arch_libdir = 'lib' kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader" builder='hvm' memory = 1024 name = "CDROM-boot" vif = [ 'type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0' ] disk = [ 'file:/root/disk.img,ioemu:hda,w' ] device_model = '/usr/' + arch_libdir + '/xen/bin/qemu-dm' cdrom='/root/isoguest.iso' boot='d' sdl=0 vnc=1 vncviewer=1 serial='pty' ne2000=0 An alternative, if you're not using VT/SVM, is to follow these instructions: http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraXenQuickstart I found it necessary to revise the yum.conf file. -- John R.
