It has been a while since I have used a paravirtualized vm, so my
responses
will be vague, but perhaps helpful.
Regarding your original install, both previous responses made good points.
However, I thought some additional explanation might be helpful:
a)
-The kernel line you put in your config makes your vm boot that kernel (the
one on your local disk), so you are already using a xen kernel to boot that
vm.
Is there a problem by using the kernel use to boot up the system (Dom0) ?
If I understand, you mean that I have to use a kernel dedicated to
boot all DomU ! Why, is there some limitation by using this kernel
(Dom0) for running VM ?
-There are ready made xen compatible installs of OSes on disk images
available for download at various places, you should be able to find
instructions on how to get thee images into your vm's virtual drive as well.
Ok, but I want first, understand how Xen works, and then, i'll get
theses files. I prefer to learn by getting rid of theses problem
before, its a godd formation i think. And i tought too, it's more
quick to use ready-to-use Xen images files.
Thanks for your time :)
