Setup Intrepid Server PV DomU via xen-image-create&debootstrap at Xen 3.3 Intrepid Server
Dom0 with Novell's Xen-ified kernel 2.6.27-5.
I would also name this post xen-image-create&debootstrap vs python-vm-builder in regards
of pre-building Xen Guests at Ubuntu Intrepid Server.View Bug Report ([3]) for details. Install Interepid Server Dom0 with with Novell's Xen-ified kernel, enabling Dom0 and DomU support at a time.
View [1],[2] for details.Tune xen-tools scripts per [1] and create Intrepid PV DomU. Actually, images been created via xen-create-image allow to upgrade DomU to real Intrepid Server PV DomU.
I mean to perform:-
# apt-get upgrade
# apt-get install linux-image-server
and switch DomU's kernel to vmlinuz-2.6.27-9-server.
Afterward images may be scp'ed to any Xen 3.3.X Linux Dom0(64-bit) and corresponding Intrepid Server PV DomU loaded for instance at Xen 3.3.1-RC4 CentOS 5.2 Dom0 (64-bit).So, xen-image-create appears to be responsible to prebuild Xen Guest instead of the most recent release of python-vm-builder.
[root@ServerXen31 root]# cat createImage
xen-create-image --force --hostname=IntrepidPVS --size=6Gb \
--swap=1Gb --ide --memory=2Gb --arch=amd64 \
--dir=/etc/xen/images --kernel=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27.5 \
--initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.27.5.img \
--install-method=debootstrap --dist=intrepid --mirror=http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ \
--passwd --accounts=root --dhcp
Load DomU via profile:-
kernel = '/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27.5'
ramdisk = '/boot/initrd-2.6.27.5.img'
memory = '2048'
#
# Disk device(s).
#
root = '/dev/hda2 ro'
disk = [

]
#
# Hostname

#

#

#
# Behaviour
#
on_poweroff = 'destroy'
on_reboot = 'restart'
on_crash = 'restart'
console='xvc0'
Run at DomU:-
# apt-get upgrade
# apt-get install linux-image-server
# shutdown -P now
Now load DomU via profile :-
kernel = '/etc/xen/vmlinuz-2.6.27-9-server'
ramdisk = '/etc/xen/initrd.img-2.6.27-9-server'
memory = '1024'
root = '/dev/xvda2 ro'
disk = [
'file:/etc/xen/images/domains/IntrepidPVS/swap.img,xvda1,w',
'file:/etc/xen/images/domains/IntrepidPVS/disk.img,xvda2,w',
]
name = 'IntrepidPVS'
vif = [ 'bridge=br0' ]
on_poweroff = 'destroy'
on_reboot = 'restart'
on_crash = 'restart'
console='hvc0'
At DomU ran tasksel to install Basic Intrepid Server,Opensshserver,Ubuntu Desktop
Now scp image files to remote Xen 3.3.1-RC4 CentOS 5.2 Dom0 and attempt to load DomU:-
[root@dhcppc0 xen]# cat IntrepidPVSRV-9.cfg
kernel = '/etc/xen/vmlinuz-2.6.27-9-server'
ramdisk = '/etc/xen/initrd.img-2.6.27-9-server'

vif = [ 'bridge=eth0' ]
# dhcp = 'dhcp'
# vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3E:7D:DB:85' ]
on_poweroff = 'destroy'
on_reboot = 'restart'
on_crash = 'restart'

[root@dhcppc0 xen]# xm create -c IntrepidPVSRV-9.cfg
