I have follow instruction hereÂhttps://www.coolacid.net/articles/39-latest/150-getting-opensuse-kernel-to-work-on-ubuntuÂand download the opensuse xen kernel from here Âhttp://software.opensuse.org/package/kernel-xen. I used rpm2cpio, I extracted it by command :

rpm2cpio /path/to/file.rpm | cpio -i --make-directories

and there is two directories extracted, /boot and /lib. I copied this two into my / and update the initramfs.

update-initramfs -k [kernel name] -c

and update my grub

update-grub

shutdown my domU and start it again. I can see the kernel listed on my grub,Â

Do you have suggestion, I am still trying to fix it.

Hi

Problems could be your hardware is a bit different than what's built into kernel. That's the problem with pre compiled kernels, you cannot be always sure if it would work with your system, Best is to roll your own because it always works. So if you are familiar you can try that route.

Another error message is that it did not find the disk, so try giving label to the disk and modify kernel command line by specifying root=LABEL=xxx

Opensuse has git of kernel-source and if you checkout git then you can extract patchÂagainstÂ3.8.6.
Otherwise you need toÂhttp://www.g-loaded.eu/2008/01/28/how-to-extract-rpm-or-deb-packages/Âfollow this to extract kernel package and follow rest of directionsÂ

Hi Jacek,

Thanks, if I want to modify my DomU kernel, actually right now I am using UbuntuÂ3.2.0-37-generic kernel on my DomU. does the step is similar. I found that I could downloaded opensuse kernel from this siteÂhttp://software.opensuse.org/package/kernel-xenÂthen with step from your link I could manage to make .deb package. Then what should I do, I am little bit worries if I damage my DomU. Please suggest.

Hi all,

I am working on my server with Xen, I have installed xen 4.2.2 with Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit as Dom0 and domU. However I want to use Remus that will work efficient if the operating system have suspend event channel support. Opensuse has this ability in its kernel version. I read this blogÂhttps://www.coolacid.net/articlesÂhow ever it seem old and I can't find if he succeed install opensuse kernel in his system. Does anybody have experienced on this circumstance?
