Hi all, I want to use KVM for kernel development of modern kernels.
It looks like the best thing is to build the kernel on the host, and then do something like: kvm guest.img -kernel /path/to/new/kernel -append "root=... console=ttyS0" -nographic to test it. hopefully the guest will boot straight into a texual login. Unfortunately I can't get it to work with modern distributions. I installed 64bit Hardy as a guest, but I failed to get it to boot with an external kernel (I did gave it an initramfs drive using the initrd option, and set the kernel root param to the right UUID number). Besides, I really don't need the graphics and I couldn't find a way to make Ubuntu start in text mode (no init levels in Ubuntu anymore..). Any ideas ? What's the best practice for kernel development with KVM ? do you have the perfect guest for that ? maybe even there's a ready image somewhere to download ? I need a modern, 64-bit distribution that I can easily produce a bootable kernel for it, preferably without initrd stuff, and i don't need graphics... Thanks for the help, Slohm. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
