afaicr there are several ways om virtualisation techniques available under suse. What is currently advised for doing an virtual suse machine on hardware running 12.2? XEN or KVM?
Both are expected to work. KVM is known to work. From a quick bugzilla check it looks like xen causes some trouble in combination with grub2.
Reason for asking is that it seems that xen-through yast doesn't work anymore. I booted up the xen-kernel and tried to create a machine through yast2-module. -kept paravirtualized -defined mem 1024 def./2048 max. -iso-image, 10GB disk -paravirt network adapter (fixed mac), on a proper working br0.
after pressing OK, it just yields: "unable to connect to libvirt with URI (none)" and "No kernel was found. the installation may have failed."
tried: - 64-bit in stead of 32-bit iso-image - plain 10GB file instead of logical volume - full instead of para
The log in /var/log/xen/domain-builder-ng.log only says that loader-probe fails because the kernel isn't a bzImage.
Up till 11.4 i used to create xen-image on the fly this way. Any suggestions?
