Xen Kerenl + ipw3945
by Justin Conover
Does anyone know if the ipw3945 wirelss card has worked or can work with a
Xen kernel. The ipw3945 bits from freshprms.net work fine with FC6 kernel,
but if I boot using the Xen kernel than it does not work.
Thanks,

How can I boot using CD-ROM/ ISO?
by Tiago Cruz
Hello guys,
I'm trying create one virtual machine following the document
"xen_install_windows.pdf", but I'm not able to boot, please see:
[root@xen xen]# xm create -c fedora6
Using config file "fedora6".
Error: Not an HVM capable platform, we stop creating!
So... what's HVM? I don't have VT on this processor, I need this only to
use my CD-ROM (or one ISO file) to do one new installation?
Thanks a lot!

Problems with pciback.hide
by Patrick Heckeler
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi folks,
I installed sucessfully 2 virtual machines on a fedora core 6 system.
When I try to use the grub command "pciback.hide", I retrieve an error
message while booting my dom0... I read an article which says, that it
might be possible, that the pciback.hide feature is not activated in the
kernel... Does anybody know how to activate this feature?
Thanks a lot...

Congratulation for this great Release FC6
by Thomas von Steiger
I like to congratulate to all the involved people they have build this great
Release Fedora Core 6 with Xen 3.0.3 !
Reinstall of dom0 with fc6 and restore only the guest hvm config files.
After this startup of all the existing guests without any problem,
wonderful.
I think to have a small downtime for a dom0 it's possible to install a new
FC6 as guest and prepare this guest to boot finaly as new dom0.
I'm looking forward to the future to implement projects and platforms with
this great technology.
Greetings from Switzerland.

Unable to install unmodified guest FC5 in dom0 FC6 Test 2
by Ranganathan, Shobha
I have a Fedora Core 6 Test 2 host Os and am trying to install
unmodified guest FC5.
I used xenguest-install.py to generate a config file for me. This I
edited to get to run unmodified guest but no success yet.
When I do "xm create xenbox_G3FC5" it says "Started xenbox_G3FC5" but I
do not see a window which can allow me to do Linux OS install.
name = "xenbox_G3FC5"

[ANN] Cobbler 0.3.0 / Xen provisioning / call for feedback
by Michael DeHaan
A while ago I announced cobbler (http://cobbler.et.redhat.com) on
kickstart-list, and one of the users there asked why they never heard
about it on any of the Xen lists... so, here goes this email...
Cobbler is a provisioning tool designed to abstract the differences
between PXE, Xen, and "running Linux box" provisioning. It does this
by using a helper tool called "koan" to do the Xen and "existing OS"
bits. It's intended to be used either as an application or as a
library/application (note: GPL) underneath a larger app.
What's potentially interesting here is you can have a fedora tree,
mirror it, and get Xen provisioning set up off of it rather quickly.
Example:
on "boot server"
# cobbler --import --mirror=rsync://mirror.example.com/fedora-linux-core
--mirror-name=fedora-linux-core
# (potentially edit xen parameters in /var/lib/cobbler/profiles or
define new profiles)
# cobbler sync
on "target machine"
# koan --xen --profile=<name-of-profile> --server=bootserver.example.com
What profiles do is they associate the distribution (the initrd and the
kickstart plus metadata) with xen parameters (things like filesize
required, RAM required, etc) and make it very easy to reproduce and
automatically install the same virtual machine install multiple times.
At a minimum level, this means kickstarting Xen and not needing to
remember the correct parameters to use for xenguest-install each time.
There is the added bonus of the PXE+re-provisioning features for bare
metal, but they really don't apply to the fedora-xen list.
(Disclaimer: Koan should be using the xeninst-devel package for
installing Xen. But it's not. This is currently because it tries to
play nice with distributions that don't have that package. This needs
to change soon. Until then, the install code is heavily based on older
versions of xenguest-install, but it works, and I just did an install of
FC-6 GOLD recently.)
One feature that definitely needs to be added (and is in the works) is
to do the install of the remote Xen image from the boot server, without
having to log on to the remote bare metal machine that is running the
dom0. Cobbler can already do this for bare metal using: "cobbler
enchant --profile=<profile_name>
--address=<address_of_machine_to_reinstall>"
Anyhow, check out the website and the app if interested, and if you have
any feedback/thoughts, I'd love to hear it. There's a mailing list set
up (https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/et-mgmt-tools), and cobbler
and koan are already in FC-5 and FC-6. The newer versions are waiting
on the push, so if you're really wanting to get at them, I'd recommend
building from source from the mercurial repository.

solution

RE: [Fedora-xen] how to install an FC5 guest Os in FC6 Test2 PAE kernel(host OS)
by Zhao, Yunfeng
Yes, you can run FC5 as VMX guest.
If you are using the latest xen code, you should have no any problem to run pae guest on pae host.
Thanks
Yunfeng

Hi,
I have host OS Fedora Core 6 Test2 on x86 Intel machine. I want an unmodified guest OS to run on this host.
Can I use Fedora Core 5 as guest OS ? If so, how to take care of PAE part of the guest OS so that it can run in PAE host FC6 Test2.
