You need to use kexec to boot xen, ecause you need to Multiboot support. So LinuxBIOS+Tiny kernel (with kexec enabld) + initrd ( with kexec_tools) To boot xen3
./kexec -l xen.gz --command-line="dom0_mem=1G com1=115200,8n1 cdb=com1" --module="vmlinuz-2.6.16-xen root=/dev/hda3 console=ttyS0,115200,8n1 selinux=0 apic resume=/dev/hda5 splash=silent showopts" --module="initrd-2.6.16-xen" ./kexec -e YH -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ward Vandewege Sent: Monday, September 18, 2006 1:59 PM To: Stefan Reinauer Cc: [email protected] Subject: [LinuxBIOS] booting Xen3 via FILO? Hi Stefan and list, Is there special magic necessary to boot a Xen dom0 from FILO (0.5)? I've not tried myself (I will tomorrow!) but my colleague says that when he tries to boot Xen 3 via the xen-3.gz image (with Grub support enabled in FILO), he just gets 'unsupported format'. Is that a known problem? I only found this 2 year old thread via Google that talks about Xen2, and predates Filo's Grub support I believe: http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2004-11/msg00374.html Thanks, Ward. -- Ward Vandewege <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Free Software Foundation - Senior System Administrator -- linuxbios mailing list [email protected] http://www.openbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios -- linuxbios mailing list [email protected] http://www.openbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
