[Pkg-xen-devel] Success with linux-image-2.6.31-1-xen-amd64_2.6.31-2_amd64.deb

[Thomas Schwinge]

Hello!

I finally got back to spending a few hours on working on xenifying this
pre-hardware-virtualization AMD64 machine.  I re-installed the system.
Basing it on stable (Lenny) this time.  The ol' combo of
xen-hypervisor-3.2-1-amd64 / linux-image-2.6.26-2-xen-amd64 boots fine.
Likewise when switching to xen-hypervisor-3.4-amd64.  And then the goal,
<http://hermes.jura.uni-tuebingen.de/~blank/debian/xen-test/linux-image-2.6.31-1-xen-amd64_2.6.31-2_amd64.deb>
-- which finally, after rising dom0_mem=150000 (was 100000 before) the
system actually boots instead of crashing / rebooting during the handover
from initial Xen to Linux (I suppose).  Please tell if you're interested
in any logs etc.

What I didn't try yet is creating domUs.  But I'm now confident that this
will work as well.  :-)

The plan is then to gradually update the system to Debian testing and see
whether the booting / lvm / initramfs problems come back.


Regards,
 Thomas
