hey all, i tried to setup a fresh xen setup like described here http://www.howtoforge.com/virtualization-with-xen-on-debian-lenny-amd64. But after i did: Code: apt-get install xen-hypervisor-3.2-1-amd64 xen-linux-system-2.6.26-2-xen-amd64 xen-utils-3.2-1 xenstore-utils xenwatch xen-shell xen-tools i added the new kerlen to my lilo.conf: Code: image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-xen-amd64 label=LinuxXEN read-only optional initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-xen-amd64 but when i now try to update lilo: Code: lilo -v LILO version 22.8, Copyright (C) 1992-1998 Werner Almesberger Development beyond version 21 Copyright (C) 1999-2006 John Coffman Released 19-Feb-2007, and compiled at 18:50:09 on Nov 15 2008 Debian GNU/Linux Warning: LBA32 addressing assumed Using BIOS device code 0x80 for RAID boot blocks Reading boot sector from /dev/md0 Using MENU secondary loader Calling map_insert_data Boot image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-amd64 Mapping RAM disk /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-amd64 Added Linux * Boot image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-xen-amd64 Fatal: Kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-xen-amd64 is too big why does lilo tell me the kernel is to big, it is smaller as the non-xen kernel Code: ls -l /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1754800 2009-08-14 12:29 /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-amd64 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1703752 2009-08-14 12:48 /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-xen-amd64 can someone help me with this? please don't tell me to use grub. i use a raid1(root /) + raid5(lvm with /home /usr /var) setup and had no luck to get grub booting the raid1. thx schniggie
can you boot at all? can you use fsck it save my machine. oh also can you make a link to the xen kernel file and put it in the root and give it a shorter name? may be it is rfering to a name which is most unlikely , i think the file itself may be corrupted?
i can boot the non-xen kernel and i had the /vmlinux /vmlinuz-xen symlinks before but that didn't change anything. one question i read sth. about lilo cannot use multiboot kernels and xen-kernels are such multiboot kernels. can anyone tell me sth. about it?
