I guess that the only thing you need to run PV guest is the xen version of the kernel of your distribution. For the rest use Full virtualization. <br>Put some error messages here to see what's happend<br><br>Regards.<br>

Hi:<br>
<br>
Reading Red Hat's Website and a printed manual of RH184 (Red Hat<br>
Virtualization course) I see that RHEL 5 only supports RHEL 4.5 and<br>
RHEL 5 as paravirtualized guests. So I asume this is the same<br>
situation for CentOS 5, right?<br>
<br>
What's the dependency between Xen versions for paravirtualized guests?<br>
I ask this questions because I got this experiences:<br>
<br>
1. Running CentOS 5 as Dom0<br>
- RHEL 4.5/CentOS 4.5 paravirtualized install, boot and works OK.<br>
- RHEL 5/CentOS 5 paravirtualized install, boot and works OK.<br>
- OpenSuSE 11 doesn't boot xen kernel.<br>
<br>
2. Running OpenSuSE 11 as Dom0<br>
- RHEL 4.5 or RHEL 5 installs correctly but doesn't boot. I got errors.<br>
<br>
I don't have error messages right now (but I can get them if asked)<br>
but I see a common difference: RHEL 4.5/RHEL5 and OpenSuSE have<br>
different Xen versions. Also OpenSuSE uses domUloader (or something<br>
like that) as boot manager instead of pygrub (or are they the same<br>
thing?)<br>
<br>
So the final question is: What are the requirements to run a<br>
paravirtualized operating system? Are they fully dependent on Xen<br>
version?<br>
I would like to run different Linux distros paravirtualized, maybe<br>
Opensolaris or FreeBSD. Is it possible?<br>
<br>
Thanks, bytes!<br>
