I installed OpenSUSE 10 in VMware on my 9.3 installation. I haven'thad a chance to REALLY use it, and I really want to contribute but also maintain a synchronous environment. Has any one gotten OpenSUSE installed in Xen? and if so can they provide a simple step-by-step howto?

Hello there Here is what I have put together. Done and tested. Works quite OK apart from a few glitches like proc not being mounted. Have not looked at it too closely, just hacked it for the moment to make it work. http://www.opensuse.org/index.php/How_to_setup_SUSE_10.0_under_xen_in_SUSE_9...

http://www.opensuse.org/index.php/How_to_setup_SUSE_10.0_under_xen_in_SUSE_ 9.3 Andreas,
Thanks for putting this together. I tried this with Beta 2 today on my x86_64 machine and could not boot to the Xen kernel. I followed your instructions to the letter, copying and pasting items into the shell as necessary (with no changes--which is probably where I ran into problems), doing this all in a Root shell. Anyway, when I rebooted and selected Xen from the screen, I immediately received the following error message: Kernel (hd 1,1)/xen.gz dom0_mem393216 Error 15: File Not Found I was able to return to grub and boot to SUSE 9.3. FWIW, I have 500MB of physical RAM installed. Could that be an issue, or would xen.gz install into a different dir on a 64-bit machine than on a 32-bit (thus, File Not Found)? Open to any ideas.

9.3 Andreas,
Thanks for putting this together. I tried this with Beta 2 today on my x86_64 machine and could not boot to the Xen kernel. I followed your instructions to the letter, copying and pasting items into the shell as necessary (with no changes-- which is probably where I ran into problems), doing this all in a Root shell.
Anyway, when I rebooted and selected Xen from the screen, I immediately received the following error message:
Kernel (hd 1,1)/xen.gz dom0_mem393216 Error 15: File Not Found
Firstly You have to adapt l (hd 1,1) to your own partition location. It is the same as your standard grub entry. Secondly there is an "=" in dom0_mem393216 Kernel (hd YOURDISK,YOURPARTITION)/xen.gz dom0_mem=393216 But you probably find that you won't get it working anyhow, Xen currently being broken in beta2. But maybe the broken part only refers to running a xen server under 10.0 beta2, have not tried it out yet. http://www.opensuse.org/index.php/Bugs:most_annoying_bugs https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=105178 You can probably hack it to get working. I am sure I get some time to try it out in the next few days ....... Try to change what I suggested above and report back if you want me to help further.

Try to fix what I suggested in the other message and use these http://www.suse.de/~garloff/linux/xen/RPMs-100/ from the bugzilla entry ..... I think then you should get it working. I will update the xen howto once I had a chance to test it. Or if you get it working, can you update it and add which kernel you used for beta2?
