Anyone got instructions on how to install Ubutnu 10.04 (Paravirtualization) on CentOS 5 using Xen?
I was able to install using netboot: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/xen/
Finished the installation but failed to bootup, anyone can help?
Detail:
1. Create a new disk with LVM
2. Downlaod vmlinuz & initrd.gz from
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/xen/
3. /usr/sbin/xm create -c /etc/xen/ubuntu.cfg install=true
4. Format the whole disk as EXT3, mount as /
5. The installer show some warnings (randomly, since they are not repeatable)
Deboostrap warning
Warnings: Couldn't download package libnewt0.52
6. The clicked continue, and retry to install the base system again
7. When prompted to choose the kernel, I cannot find xen related, so I
choose linux-generic
8. Everything alright, the installer quit and system halt.
9. I launch the VM using /usr/sbin/xm create -c /etc/xen/ubuntu.cfg, it show
Error: Bootloader isn't executable
p.s. ubuntu.cfg
