Xen has been in Sid for sometime now. but there has been very little reaction so far in this forum. I'd love to now if somebody has succided in installing it and making it work.
I foud this fairly comprehensive article by Steve Kemp #http://debian-administration.org/articles/396# and decided to follow it. Everything went smoothly untill I had to make Xen kernel packages bootable
Code:
root@box2:/home/richard# mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.16-2-xen-686 2.6.16-2-xen-686
/usr/sbin/mkinitrd: line 1454: mkext2fs: command not found
This is my /boot/grub/menu.list
Code:
title Xen 3.0-i386 / Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.16-2-xen-686
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/xen-3.0-i386.gz noreboot
module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-2-xen-686 root=/dev/sda1 ro
module /boot/initrd.img-2.6.16-2-xen-686
ramdisk_size=100000 lang=us apm=power-off nomce vga=791 console=tty0
boot
Grub lists the Xen kernel just fine at the srart-up but will not boot it.
I get the error message
Code:
Error 15: File not found.
I run fully upgraded Easter Edition with 2.6.17.8-slh-up-1 kernel.
My HD Western Digital -80Gb SATA. My processor - Athlon 3700.
Any suggestions and understanding will be greatly appreciated 
Thanks

Hi mzilikazi,
Thanks for all your help. Just had a chance to test your suggestions. A definete progress. Managed to get the booting started this time, but there seems to be some glitches left to work out.
This is the message from Grub.
Code:
initrd-tools : 0.1.84.1
mount : unknown file system type 'devfs'
SCSI subsystem initialized
umount : devfs: not mounted
pivot_root :No such file or directory
/sbin/init : 432 : cannot open dev/console : No such file
Kernel panic - not syncing : Attempted to kill ninit !
.
The "unknown file system type " throws me out completely.
Hopefully some people smarter the me will be able to figure it out.
Thanks
Richard |

New package entered unstable today named xen-linux-system-2.6.17-2-xen
That might help |

I´ve got the same problem working on Debian Sarge in a VM-Ware
I`ve installed the XEN-Packages from Debian-Backports.
Did you find an answer for the rebooting problem?
best regards
