I would like to experiment with xen on my new installation of OpenSuSE 12.1. I downloaded the xen kernel from the OpenSuSE repository. When I tried to boot into the xen kernel I got an error message. Please give me a suggestion for correcting this.
ERROR 13: invalid or unsupported executable format
The error message contained the statement "File system type is ext2fs, partition type ox83". ( I thought ext4?)
I am sending an attachment that describes my installation of OpenSuSE 12.1 with copies of : 1. fdisk -l 2. etc/fstab 3. /boot/grub/menu.lst I do not know if this information will be helpful.
I thank you for your time, Peter Welles

Hi Peter To start with, if you google these error messages, you'll get plenty of hits: ERROR 13: invalid or unsupported executable format File system type is ext2fs, partition type ox83
I tried re-writing the boot loader a couple times, but I still got the error message. This is out-put from /boot/grub/menu.lst:
original from rpm download ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: xen### title Xen -- openSUSE 12.1 - 3.1.10-1.9 root (hd0,4) kernel /boot/xen.gz vga=mode-0x317 module /boot/vmlinuz-3.1.10-1.9-xen root=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST380021A_3HV32KHZ-part5 resume=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST380021A_3HV32KHZ-part1 splash=silent quiet showopts vga=0x317 module /boot/initrd-3.1.10-1.9-xen
I'm not very grub-literate but this looks good to me. Is this the one that is failing?
My first edit where there was no xen.gz file under the /boot directory ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: xen### title Xen -- openSUSE 12.1 - 3.1.10-1.9 root (hd0,4) kernel /boot/symvers-3.1.10-1.9-xen.gz vga=mode-0x317 module /boot/vmlinuz-3.1.10-1.9-xen root=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST380021A_3HV32KHZ-part5 resume=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST380021A_3HV32KHZ-part1 splash=silent quiet showopts vga=0x317 module /boot/initrd-3.1.10-1.9-xen
Booting "/boot/symvers-3.1.10-1.9-xen.gz" doesn't make much sense.
My second edit where I did not use modules ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: xen### title Xen -- openSUSE 12.1 - 3.1.10-1.9 root (hd0,4) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-3.1.10-1.9-xen root=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST380021A_3HV32KHZ-part5 resume=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST380021A_3HV32KHZ-part1 splash=silent quiet showopts vga=0x317 initrd /boot/initrd-3.1.10-1.9-xen
That one appears to be missing the xen hypervisor? (xen.gz). -- Per Jessen, Zürich (14.6°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
