Re: [CentOS-virt] Can I install Slackware 13.1 as Xen-Guest?
Well, I got slackware running. What a pain. When I first installed it, I had booted the slackware iso on a test VM that had previously been running centos. I told slackware to use the existing partitions, one of which was LVM. That's what caused the kernel panic, I think. During the installation of slackware, you're dumped to the shell as root and told to create partitions. So this time, I ran parted to delete the existing partitons, and then ran cfdisk to create them as outlined in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1uqxI6dVEE Afterwards, you type 'setup' to do the install. But it still wouldn't boot. This time it complained the super-block (I think it was) partition wasn't ext2. Sure enough, the installer defaults to ext4 and I had formatted with that. Slackware doesn't seem to be able to boot from anything but ext2. So, I had to install again choosing an ext2 partition, and had it automatically install LILO to the MBR. This time it booted and ran a filesystem check, then rebooted and came to a login prompt. I ran startx to get to the desktop. I can't say it's very user-friendly. I'd love to know what they're going to use slackware for. -Original Message- From: centos-virt-boun...@centos.org [mailto:centos-virt- boun...@centos.org] On Behalf Of John Maclean Sent: Saturday, July 24, 2010 9:27 AM To: Discussion about the virtualization on CentOS Subject: Re: [CentOS-virt] Can I install Slackware 13.1 as Xen-Guest?
