I'm trying to use Xen for the first time. I have a computer set aside for it, and so I am installing everything from scratch. The only installation guide I have for Gentoo is this one:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xen-guide.xml
I'm a little uncertain about the kernel building and installation part (for dom0): my system is LVM based, and I am accustomed to using genkernel to build and install the kernel and the initramfs. However, the example in the Gentoo Xen Guide does not use genkernel and does not use an initramfs. And the grub entry they provide looks strange. (I did not even know there was a "module" entry):
| Code: | title Xen 3.0 / Gentoo Linux 2.6.x.y
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/xen.gz
module /boot/kernel-2.6.x.y-xen0 root=/dev/hda3 |
This is the command I was going to use to build the kernel for dom0:
| Code: | | genkernel --menuconfig --save-config --makeopts=-j2 --lvm --disklabel --bootloader=grub --realroot=UUID=<snip> all |
Will that still work, and how will I need to adjust the grub entry? |
