[opensuse-autoinstall] Dom0 installation autoyast.xml
Dear all, I have several autoyast.xml files that install standard kernels, but I have to create on for a Xen Dom0 (as in the server that manages many other virtualised Xen environments, which sits above the hypervisor - I get confused...). I would like to know which packages I have to add and how I can ensure the installation adds the correct Xen kernel? Here is what I have so far: ** PACKAGES <patterns config:type="list"> <pattern>Minimal</pattern> <pattern>apparmor</pattern> <pattern>base</pattern> <pattern>documentation</pattern> <pattern>file_server</pattern> <pattern>xen_server</pattern> </patterns> <packages> <package>kernel-xen-base</package> <package>xen-libs</package> <package>xen-tools-domU</package> <package>xen-tools</package> <package>xen</package> </packages> ** GRUB Grub entry currently has this, which should be changed to the Xen kernel, but I not know what I should add: <loader_type>grub</loader_type> <sections config:type="list"> <section> <append>resume=/dev/system/swap splash=silent crashkernel=256M-:128M@16M showopts</append> <image>/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27.19-5-default</image> <initial>1</initial> <initrd>/boot/initrd-2.6.27.19-5-default</initrd> <lines_cache_id>0</lines_cache_id> <name>SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 - 2.6.27.19-5</name> <original_name>linux</original_name> <root>/dev/system/root</root> <type>image</type> [SNIP] ** KERNEL There are these packages that could be added, but I am unsure which one should add the correct kernel for the DomU: ../sles11-dvd1-x86_64/boot/x86_64/initrd-xen ../sles11-dvd1-x86_64/boot/x86_64/vmlinuz-xen ../sles11-dvd1-x86_64/suse/x86_64/kernel-xen-base-2.6.27.19-5.1.x86_64.rpm ../sles11-dvd1-x86_64/suse/x86_64/kernel-xen-2.6.27.19-5.1.x86_64.rpm ../sles11-dvd1-x86_64/suse/x86_64/kernel-xen-base-2.6.27.19-5.1.x86_64.rpm ../sles11-dvd1-x86_64/suse/setup/descr/xen_server-32bit-11-38.5.x86_64.pat.gz ../sles11-dvd1-x86_64/suse/setup/descr/xen_server-11-38.5.x86_64.pat.gz I suspect that I add one of these as a package, and then change the Grub entry above to reflect the correct Dom0 kernel, but again I am unsure what ought to be what. Anyone shed a little bit of light on this? Best regards, z. PS. I don't have the luxery of booting off a DVD and then cloning the resulting system into an autoyast.xml because the DVD is via a virtual Java applet from an HP Onboard Administrator; My Java installation is broken somewhere and the Java applet fails. This is why not, in case someone asks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org

better try <kernel>kernel-xen-base</kernel> and inside of <software> but not in <packages> <packages> is a list btw, so it has to be <packages config:type="list"> Anyway, kernel is outside of that.
