The rawhide .treeinfo file points to the PAE kernel as the xen kernel. Is this correct? There are also missing xen images in the tree (which causes virt-install -p to fail). If this is intentional, we can move this bug over to track having virt-install use the PAE kernel. If this is not intentional, we can just use this bug to track the missing xen images and the .treeinfo [images-xen] content? $ curl http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/i386/os/.treeinfo [checksums] images/pxeboot/vmlinuz-pae = sha1:528378c6e6641e8bf3887ae7148c0f3d527904ec images/pxeboot/initrd-pae.img = sha1:a84478bf1567f8644c551217416cc3f7882b8334 images/pxeboot/efiboot.img = sha1:f694b6351e020c717828d68584f615ccbb3a7eab images/pxeboot/initrd.img = sha1:38e01161f8f442af3837581e995ab73a70fe51fc images/pxeboot/readme = sha1:9f09c62e398b755f46d28919b282864a0ba7a163 images/boot.iso = sha1:c3de36696ada920fe1bf262cb3039f762e02e0f0 images/pxeboot/vmlinuz = sha1:67c97dc84f6e3d7d62c68a58096ae1ad26ea029e images/install.img = sha1:5a68e5ac240f259d86a9e5ec1161cd9001cee75c images/readme = sha1:c815f147f2088d86996b6522fb53badeccb0d145 images/efidisk.img = sha1:459ade07d058589eb8f097f148c69a626dd18b7c repodata/repomd.xml = sha1:a21ad1bb64090778211353cdde32ad8dac1843e5 [images-i386] initrd = images/pxeboot/initrd.img boot.iso = images/boot.iso kernel = images/pxeboot/vmlinuz [stage2] mainimage = images/install.img [images-xen] initrd = images/pxeboot/initrd-PAE.img kernel = images/pxeboot/vmlinuz-PAE [general] family = Fedora timestamp = 1220954686.57 variant = totaldiscs = 1 version = development discnum = 1 packagedir = arch = i386
This is correct. With pvops, you have to be using the PAE kernel for xen on x86. virt-install was supposed to be using the bits out of .treeinfo I thought.
The xen host is an F8 box (using python-virtinst-0.300.2-4.fc8) so it's likely this is fixed in newer python-virtinst. I'll get around to testing that w/ xenner shortly ...
virt-install does use treeinfo, on F9. However the F8 version (aka the last xen dom0 version) doesn't have the .treeinfo code in virt-install. There is already a bug for tracking this (bug 458164).
Thanks Cole, sounds like DUPing this against 458164 would make the most sense?
Whoops, sorry, meant to do that :) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 458164 ***
