[opensuse-autoinstall] Autoyast install of a Xen Dom0
Hey, all -- I'm trying to port an autoyast config from opensuse 10.1 to 10.2. This particular config installs a xen server -- a dom0, onto which xen virtual servers are installed. In 10.1, I could specify this section in the bootloader config, and it worked fine: <section> <append> resume=/dev/sda1 splash=silent showopts dom0_mem=512M</append> <initrd>/boot/initrd-xen</initrd> <kernel>(hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz-xen</kernel> <lines_cache_id>2</lines_cache_id> <name>XEN</name> <original_name>xen</original_name> <root>/dev/md0</root> <type>image</type> <vga>0x317</vga> <xen>/boot/xen.gz</xen> <xen_append>dom0_mem=512M</xen_append> </section> But in 10.2, that config doesn't seem to work. The resulting menu.lst entry is: kernel (hd0,1)/boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=512M initrd (hd0,1)/boot/initrd-xen Grub tries to boot, but then dies with the complaint that the Linux kernel must be loaded before initrd. Anyone have any pointers to documentation, or suggestions about other things that might be worth trying?

Hey, all --
I'm trying to port an autoyast config from opensuse 10.1 to 10.2.
This particular config installs a xen server -- a dom0, onto which xen virtual servers are installed.
In 10.1, I could specify this section in the bootloader config, and it worked fine: <section> <append> resume=/dev/sda1 splash=silent showopts dom0_mem=512M</append> <initrd>/boot/initrd-xen</initrd> <kernel>(hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz-xen</kernel> <lines_cache_id>2</lines_cache_id> <name>XEN</name> <original_name>xen</original_name> <root>/dev/md0</root> <type>image</type> <vga>0x317</vga> <xen>/boot/xen.gz</xen> <xen_append>dom0_mem=512M</xen_append> </section>
<snip> Through a combination of building a machine by hand and using the autoyast "Reference Profile" tool, and a couple of guesses, I was able to come up with something that works as expected. It would be nice if it were documented, though :-) This is the bootloader section that does what I wanted: <section> <append> resume=/dev/sda2 splash=silent showopts</append> <initial>1</initial> <initrd>(hd0,0)/boot/initrd-xen</initrd> <image>(hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz-xen</image> <lines_cache_id>0</lines_cache_id> <name>XEN</name> <original_name>xen</original_name> <root>/dev/md0</root> <type>xen</type> <vga>0x317</vga> <xen>(hd0,0)/boot/xen.gz</xen> <xen_append>dom0_mem=512M</xen_append> </section> - Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
