Hello Grok, I've installed xen-hypervisor-3.0.3-1-amd64, which includes /boot/xen-3.0.3-1-amd64.gz. Do i still need a xen-enabled host kernel, or may i use the current self compiled kernel? I saw that the current linux-source-2.6.18 from unstable contains a menuconfig option 'Xen support'. I guess that i need to enable this, and then use /boot/xen-3.0.3-1-amd64.gz as domain0 kernel. Is that correct? The description for xen-hypervisor-3.0-unstable-1-amd64 claims: In order to boot a XEN system along with this package you also need a kernel specifically crafted to work as the Domain 0, mediating hardware access for XEN itself. An example config file for this kernel and documentation on how to build it can be found in the xen-docs package. But I cannot find any example kernel config in the xen-docs package. greetings, jonas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
