Two years ago I installed several Xen domU's. The tools where not so
sophisticated as they are now, so I had to do most of all this by my
own. I decided to create LVM volumes which I directly gave as e.g.
hda1 to the domU's. As one result within the domU there is no
partition table visible. Installation took place via dirinstall in yast.
Now I try to update this domU's to openSuSE 10.3 - has anyone here an
idea how to _update_ a dirinstalled system?
I tried yast dirinstall again - this seems to simply make a fresh
install. That's not what I want.
I tried to give the installation xen kernel/initrd and iso image to
the domU to regularly start the installation process. This works a
bit when I fake some partition tables (give a faked master boot
record as hda and provide hda1/hda2 directly) but ends up yast
telling me it can not find an installed system so it wants to make a
fresh install too.
I tried the old SuSE 10.1 yast to start a "system update" from the
given 10.3 installation media - but it warns about incompatibilities
and suggests a fresh install ...
Any further idea?
