[Fedora-xen] 4gb seg fixup, process on FC6 domU

Hi Dan,




Both of those are redundant/wrong for FC6.

When i do this on host  machine gives me...

rpm -qf /etc/ld.so.conf.d/kernelcap-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6.conf
kernel-xen-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6

but gives nothing on guest, i don't have /etc/ld.so.conf.d/kernelcap-
2.6.18-1.2849.fc6.conf on guests

  $ cat /etc/ld.so.conf.d/kernelcap-2.6.18-1.2868.fc6.conf

I'm launching  guest using xm create vms.cfg

and vms.cfg is as under

kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6xen"
ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6xen-domU.img"
memory = 128
name = "xxxx"
#vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:11:69:85, bridge=xenbr0' ]
vif = [ 'ip=66.xxx.xxx.xxx' ]
disk = ['tap:aio:/var/uml/vm3/root,sda1,w',
'tap:aio:/var/uml/vm3/var,sda2,w', 'tap:aio:/var/uml/vm3/swap,sda3,w']
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"
on_reboot   = 'restart'
on_crash    = 'restart'

So the kernel running on guest ... and i have also copied the xen kernel
modules /lib/modules/ on guest disk image by mounting it.

uname -r
2.6.18-1.2849.fc6xen

Secondly the default initrd for xen kernel that come with fc6 fails to start
our guest so i have created initrd manually by ...

mkinitrd -f --with=xennet --preload=xenblk /boot/initrd-
2.6.18-1.2849.fc6xen-domU.img 2.6.18-1.2849.fc6xen

and then use this initrd for 'ramdisk' in vms.cfg

Thanks.
