[Xen-users] Creating an fc8 2.6.23 domu

[jim burns <jim_burn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Maybe Sadique can field this one.

I don't have the blkfront (xenblk.ko) or netfront (xennet.ko) modules (or any 
of the kernel/drivers/xen tree). I go into 'make xconfig' -> Processor type 
and features',  and check 'Enable support for Xen hypervisor'. (Everything 
else in 'Paravirtualization support (EXPERIMENTAL}' was already checked.)  
This automatically checks 4 more options for xen and hvm. I rebuild 
the .src.rpm (I've tried 2.6.23.15-137 and 2.6.23.14-115). Rpmbuild complains 
that it could not find the xennet module, continuing anyway, presumably at 
the mkinitrd step. When I try to load this kernel as a domu, I get invalid 
kernel type, whether I load it with the kernel/ramdisk= parms in the domu 
config, or select it in the domu's grub menu.

[661] > egrep XEN\|HVM /boot/config-2.6.23*
/boot/config-2.6.23.14-115.fc8PAE:CONFIG_XEN=y

[662] > xm create fc8 -c
Using config file "/etc/xen/fc8".
VNC= 1
Error: (2, 'Invalid kernel', 'xc_dom_find_loader: no loader found\n')
zsh: exit 1     xm create fc8 -c

What else do I need to do to get a bootable 2.6.23 domu on fc8? Thanx.
