Re: [Xen-users] best kernel

["Ian Tobin" <itobin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Just touching on this subject.

I have just compiled xen and kernel from sources (xen 4.1.2 and kernel
3.4.4) running on CentOS 6.3.

I have got the server up and running in XEN mode but am having problems
getting a para domU to boot from the kernel. I initially copied a domU
kernel (2.6.18-8) over from another server which has been running fine
for DomUs but the main OS is Debian.

When I run either the older kernel of newer kernel for DomU I get

xenbus waiting for devices to initialise 295s...290s

ive tried different variations using hda1, xvda1 etc but none seem to
work yet the 2.6.18-8 kernel works fine for DomUs on the Debian OS
server using hda1 as the root and all I have done is copied over the
domU config.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Ian

BTW I need to come back to the PV grub problem but that can wait.

For almost al users the best kernel to use is the one provided by your
distro. If your distro doesn't supply one then you should consider
another distro ;-) (I think there's a list on the wiki for both domU and
dom0 support)

If you really want to build your own kernel then the latest stable
upstream release is usually the obvious choice.

Ian.
