kernel-xen.sh: This script builds the Linux Kernel for a Xen Hypervisor.
|
|
|
|
Kernel configuration files included here are based on generic Slackware config
|
|
files. For 32bit systems, SMP config was used. To run "make menuconfig" before
|
|
compiling Xen kernel, use:
|
|
|
|
MENUCONFIG=yes ./kernel-xen.sh
|
|
|
|
Originally, booting Xen kernel with LILO bootloader is not supported, and GRUB
|
|
has to be used. With mbootpack this has changed, and LILO can be used as well.
|
|
Basically, mbootpack takes Linux kernel, initrd and Xen VMM, and packages them
|
|
up into a file that looks like a bzImage Linux kernel. This script will select
|
|
LILO by default, changing to GRUB is easy, use:
|
|
|
|
BOOTLOADER=grub ./kernel-xen.sh
|
|
|
|
Slackware generic kernel requires initrd image, this script assumes root is on
|
|
/dev/sda2 and filesystem is ext4, changes are made with:
|
|
|
|
ROOTMOD=ext3 ROOTFS=ext3 ROOTDEV=/dev/sda5 ./kernel-xen.sh
|
|
|
|
When using LILO bootloader, this is what the most of lilo.conf should have:
|
|
|
|
image = /boot/vmlinuz-xen
|
|
root = /dev/sda2
|
|
label = XenLinux
|
|
append="dom0_mem=512M -- nomodeset"
|
|
read-only
|
|
|
|
Everything on the left side of "--" is passed to Xen kernel, and what's on the
|
|
right, goes to Linux kernel.
|
|
|
|
When using GRUB, /boot/grub/menu.lst should have these:
|
|
|
|
title Slackware XenLinux 14.1
|
|
root (hd0,0)
|
|
kernel /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=524288 console=vga
|
|
module /boot/vmlinuz-xen root=/dev/sda2 ro console=tty0 nomodeset
|
|
module /boot/initrd-xen.gz
|
|
|
|
Troubleshooting dom0 crashes, freezes, blank screen and such:
|
|
|
|
* Use /proc/fb to find an out of range device id, for example this can be
|
|
added to Linux kernel: fbcon=map:9
|
|
* Look in dmesg/lsmod for potential framebuffer devices to blacklist
|
|
* Compile Linux kernel with CONFIG_FB=n
|
|
* Use another VGA card :-)
