I am having problems getting a fedora7 domu running under my Centos5 Dom0
(this is a centos5 server no graphical interface)
I followed the same steps to created the fedora 7 domu as I have for
creating the cenots5 domu that I have on the same box.
I downloaded the vmlinux and initrd from here
ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Fedora/i386/os/
images/xen/
Xm config:
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-f7xeninstall"
ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-f7xeninstall"
extra = "text ks=http://www.mcdees-specialties.com/fed7/minimal-ks.cf"
name = "fed7"
memory = "230"
disk = [ 'tap:aio:/var/lib/xen/images/fed7.img,xvda,w', ]
#vif = [ '', ]
vif = [ 'bridge=xenbr0', ]
ip = "192.168.1.202"
netmask = "255.255.255.0"
gateway = "192.168.1.1"
vcpus=1
on_reboot = 'destroy'
on_crash = 'destroy'
When I run
xm create -c fed7inst
it gets to here and stops
.....................................
Using IPI No-Shortcut mode

Any and all ideas are welcome

How exactly do you start your guest?
What does starting your guest write to /var/log/xen/ and xm dmesg ?

I start using the xm command

Wait a sec! You simply plunked kernel & initrd into your /boot? That
bypasses the scripts in the rpms, and you know, those are there for a
reason. Can you try installing kernel-xen with yum?

You can not use yum if the operating system is not installed in the domU
This is a centos5 server that I am trying to load a fedora7 domU

You can not use yum if the operating system is not installed in the domU
This is a centos5 server that I am trying to load a fedora7 domU
Why can't you simply create the guest with virt-install?

Yes, you can.
Loopback mount (or whatever) the F7 domU to /mnt/temp/ (or whatever),
run "chroot /mnt/temp/" (as root) and then you can run yum and do all kinds
of other things from within there.
I haven't tried this yet with F7 or C5, but I have gotten things working just
fine to create F6 and SLES10 on RHEL5.
