RE: [Xen-ia64-devel] [FYI] Recipe of build and boot of Xen/IA64

2005-12-14 Thread Magenheimer, Dan (HP Labs Fort Collins) 
Thanks to Akio's recipe and all the work on the new
version of elilo by Fred and Alex, I have successfully
booted dom0 and domU under RHEL4 so I am finally shifting
all my development and testing from RHEL3 to RHEL4.2
and from gcc3.2 to gcc3.4.4.

I was out of the office for a few days and returned
to a crashed system disk so I focused on getting
everything running on RHEL4.2 rather than reinstall
RHEL3.  As a result, I am behind on applying patches.
I hope to catch up in the next day or so.

Thanks,
Dan

 Hi,
 
 We can boot RHEL4 domU without initrd.
 I have written the recipe.
 (Thank you for many advice, everyone :-))
 
 My enviroment is;
   Machine  : Tiger4
   Dom0 OS  : RHEL4 U2
   DomU OS  : RHEL4 U2
   changeset: 8241:0255f48b757f
 
 
 Build xen
  1. Download source
 # hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/xen-ia64-unstable.hg
 
  2. # make world -j4
 
  3. make menuconfig in Dom0
 # cd linux-2.6.12-xen0
 # make menuconfig
   CONFIG_IA64_DIG=y
 # cd ..
 
  4. make menuconfig in DomU
 # cd linux-2.6.12-xenU
 # make menuconfig 
   CONFIG_IA64_DIG=y
   # CONFIG_EFI_RTC is not set
 # cd ..
 
  5. # make kernels -j4
 
  6. # make uninstall
 
  7. # make install-tools
 
  8. copy kernels and xen
 # cp xen/xen.gz /boot/efi/efi/xen/
 # cp linux-2.6.12-xen0/vmlinux.gz 
 /boot/efi/efi/xen/vmlinuz-2.6.12-xen0
 # cp linux-2.6.12-xenU/vmlinux.gz /boot/vmlinux-2.6.12-xenU
 
  9. make initrd for Dom0
 # cd linux-2.6.12-xen0/
 # make modules_install
 # mkinitrd -f /boot/efi/efi/xen/initrd-2.6.12-xen0.img 
 2.6.12.6-xen0 --builtin mptbase --builtin mptscsih
 # cd ..

 Make OSimg for DomU
  1. make file
 # dd if=/dev/zero of=/root/rhel4.img bs=1M count=4096
 # mke2fs -F -j /root/rhel4.img
 # mount -o loop /root/rhel4.img /mnt
 # cp -ax /{dev,var,etc,usr,bin,sbin,lib} /mnt
 # mkdir /mnt/{root,proc,sys,home,tmp}
 
  2. modify DomU's fstab
 # vi /mnt/etc/fstab 
/dev/hda1   /ext3defaults1 1
none/dev/pts devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
none/dev/shm tmpfs   defaults0 0
none/procprocdefaults0 0
none/sys sysfs   defaults0 0
 
  3. modify inittab (runlevel and tty)
 # vi /mnt/etc/inittab
id:3:initdefault:
 # Run gettys in standard runlevels
 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty0
 #1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1

 #4:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty4
 #5:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty5
 #6:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty6
 
  4. add tty0 into /etc/securetty
 # vi /mnt/etc/securetty (add tty0)
  
  5. umount
 # umount /mnt

 Boot Xen
  1. replace elilo
 download from the below
 http://elilo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/blosxom
 
  2. modify elilo.conf
  prompt
  timeout=20
  default=xen
  relocatable
  
  image=vmlinuz-2.6.12-xen0
  label=xen
  vmm=xen-.gz

  image=vmlinuz-2.6.9-22.EL
  label=linux
  initrd=initrd-2.6.9-22.EL.img
  read-only
  append=rhgb root=/dev/sda2
  3. make config of DomU
# vi /etc/xen/rhel4
  kernel = /boot/vmlinux-2.6.12-xenU
  memory = 384
  name = rhel4
  nics=0
  disk = [ 'file:/root/rhel4.img,hda1,w' ]
  root = /dev/hda1 ro
  extra = 3
  
  4. After boot xen and dom0, start xend
# /etc/init.d/xend start
( In the debugging case, # XEND_DEBUG=1 xend trace_start )

  5. start domU
# xm create -c rhel4

RE: [Xen-ia64-devel] [FYI] Recipe of build and boot of Xen/IA64

2005-12-13 Thread Magenheimer, Dan (HP Labs Fort Collins) 
Hi Akio --

How did you build your (dom0) RHEL4 root disk?  I see you are
booting using /dev/sda2 as root. The standard
RHEL4 build process creates an LVM disk as root and the process
you describe won't work with an LVM root disk.

Thanks,
Dan
