Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Running FC4 as guest in FC5 Xen: msg#00195

Subject: Running FC4 as guest in FC5 Xen
Hi,

this is my first post to the list, and I've been reading it for a while. Although there are some posts regarding how to instal FC4 as a guest in FC5, I'm not able to get it running. FC5 guest is ok, but how do I install an FC4? I've followed all the steps for the FC4 QuickStart, I don't know which kernel should I load.

First, if using the kernel installed with my FC5 installation (vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2096_FC5xen0) the kernel boots, but then it hangs because it doesn't find the root fs (sda1). I've tried to do a chroot into my fc4 minimum installation (under /mnt) and install the vmlinuz-2.6.13-1.1532_FC4xenU, copy it to the host machine and put it into the configuration, but then, when booting the guest I get a message saying that the argument is invalid. Looking the logs, y see this:

ERROR: Will only load images built for Xen v3.0
ERROR: Actually saw: 'GUEST_OS=linux,GUEST_VER=2.6,XEN_VER=3.0,VIRT_BASE=0xC0000000,PAE=no,LOADER=generic'
ERROR: Error constructing guest OS

So, what are the exact steps (or the steps which differ from the FC4 XenQuickStart) that should I take in order to get FC4 running under FC5?

Thanks a lot in advance,
Ignacio.
