Hello out there

Till last week I hab my testserver running fine with Fedora Core 4 and xen 
3. At monday I had the idea to use the new Fedora Core 5 with his new xen 
implementation. It's nice to create a guest with their new 
xenguest-install.py script, but I need my old xen domU configurations. 
Especially I have to run a Fedora Core 4 Guest, because Oracle 10g is not 
running on FC5 (glibc problem). But when I try to use my old 
configurations, I get an error message while booting:

Error: Error creating domain: Kernel image does not exist: 
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2080_FC5XenU

So, the file exists, that's not the problem. I tried also to use the 
xen-sysm.... variant. But nothing worked. I used also the ramdisk option. 
My domU config file looks like:

kernel  = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2080_FC5xenU"
memory  = 256
name    = "sweb01"
extra   = "selinux=0 3"


disk    = ['phy:VolGroup00/root.sweb01,sda1,w'
          ,'phy:VolGroup00/log.sweb01,sda3,w'
          ,'phy:VolGroup00/swap.sweb01,sda2,w'
          ]
root    = "/dev/sda1"

### N E T W O R K

vif     = [ 'bridge=xenbr-pub' , 'bridge=xenbr-int' ]


Hope sombody has a migration guide Xen FC4 to FC5 for me.:-)

By the way, I don't understand how to install now a FC4 in this new FC5 
environment. Is it possible to do this with the xenguest-install script???


bye Philipp
