I still can't figure this out. What I am trying to accomplish, is to run a linux-based firewall (currently looking at smoothwall) connected to a set of VLAN-s. My smoothwall-host currently has no network connectivity and no gcc, trying to compile anything on this seems like a difficult venture. Smoothwall runs on 2.6.16.
The options I am looking at for getting further: 1. booting my smoothwall-image with a pv-kernel 2. adding a pv-over-hvm network driver to the smoothwall image To be able to compile either a new pv-kernel or pv network drivers, I have tried installing another linux with some more tools available. I have tried installing debian lenny according to this description: http://wiki.debian.org/Xen#DomU.28guest.29 as far as I know, this i linux kernel 2.6.26 with pvops-support. Xen is unable to load the kernel: xc_dom_find_loader: trying ELF-generic loader ... failed xc_dom_find_loader: trying multiboot-binary loader ... failed xc_dom_core.c:495: panic: xc_dom_find_loader: no loader found according til 'file', the kernel-image is of type: Linux kernel x86 boot executable RO-rootFS, root_dev 0x6803, swap_dev 0x1, Normal VGA Some questions I haven't been able to find answers to through google: - do I need a special version of xen to support pvops? - does the one in solaris xVM support pvops? - what should be the file-type of the kernel-image for xen to be able to load it? (I thought i would have to be ELF, but the netboot/xen-image from debian is "x86 boot executable" for all available debian-releases) - how can I get files in to my smoothwall image without network? (My guess would be to create a file-based block-device with some file-system supported both by solaris and smoothwall, and loopback-mount it in Dom0 to fill it with data, iso and vfat seems to be my only options) -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ xen-discuss mailing list [email protected]
