Re: [Xen-users] centos jailtime image -- no network

["Luke S. Crawford" <lsc@xxxxxxxxx>]

 my experience has been that CentOS/RedHat isn't happy without a 
ramdisk.  add a
ramdisk=

entry to your xm config file.  one way to 
get a ramdisk is to install the RHEL4 kernel rpm somewhere; alternately, 
mkinitrd in the linux directory of your source also works okay.
you can try the RHEL4 kernels from XenSource if 32-bit is okay;
J. Baron has put out 64-bit kernel RPMS for RHEL4 if you need 64-bit:

http://people.redhat.com/riel/RHEL4-Xen-HOWTO

and the kernel RPMs here:

    http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/rhel4/RPMS.kernel/

Note, read the howto;  you need a different modprobe.conf and initrd than 
you need for the xensource provided RHEL kernels.
I think redhat is planning on eventually supporting the rhel4 kernels in 
DomU mode (Note, this is what I have heard;  I'm not a redhat guy)
