Notes
- This is a paravirtualized kernel built directly from kernel.org sources without patches from xen.org (patches are no longer required to build domU kernels).
- It is intended to run strictly as a domU, not as dom0. The tar file can be expanded directly into the image's root file system providing the kernel and modules.
- The root device is /dev/xvda1 (update the image's /etc/fstab)
- The console is hvc0 (update the image's /etc/securetty and /etc/inittab)
- An initrd should not be necessary
-
The image's grub.conf will look like this:
title vmlinuz-2.6.31.6
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31.6 console=hvc0 root=/dev/xvda1 ro
- As stated, this is an unpatched kernel. The actual compilation options are stored in the tarball at boot/config-2.6.31.6
