Description:
I have some archlinux 64bit paravirtualized machines, and I was using kernel26-xen from aur to get them to work. Then xen support was added to the kernel26 package, so I installed the package, but the machine doen't boot anymore. i get the following error using kernel26: # xm create -c arch64.pv Using config file "./arch64.pv". Error: (2, 'Invalid kernel', 'xc_dom_find_loader: no loader found\n') the kernel26-lts boots ok. Additional info: # pacman -Q kernel26 kernel26 2.6.32.3-1 * boot config file # (0) Arch Linux title Arch Linux root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/68b3fcf3-e0ef-4c02-8257-9066d95f45dc ro console=hvc0 initrd /kernel26.img # (1) Arch Linux title Arch Linux lts root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz26-lts root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/68b3fcf3-e0ef-4c02-8257-9066d95f45dc ro console=hvc0 initrd /kernel26-lts.img Steps to reproduce: - install kernel26 - boot the xen virtual machine - the error will appear |

maybe because is compressed using lzma?
So far, I could only test with Xen 3.2, which does NOT support
bzImage. Instead, you have to use
/usr/src/linux-2.6.32-ARCH/vmlinux (you can also gzip this file).
Xen 3.4 apparently supports bzImage, but maybe not lzma. Using
vmlinux instead should be possible in any case, please test.
Using the latest Xenserver (with xen) doesn't work. I googled
arround and I found out that it's related to the compression.
using /usr/src/linux-2.6.32-ARCH/vmlinux works fine. it's really a
good improvement use lzma for compression?
