Comment 85 for bug 218126

Hello all,

I found this thread and attempted to follow. I am quite new to Ubuntu and XEN.

I have: dom0 - Centos 5.1
I would like to install Ubuntu hardy as a domU. The only Ubuntu version I can install properly with no problem is dapper (6.06).

What I have done so far:

1. Install dapper as DomU (using the virt-install Xen CLI tool)
2. Upgrade dapper - using Ubuntu instructions to upgrade.
3. Dapper is upgraded successfully to a kernel: 2.6.15-51-amd64-generic
4. I tried to upgrade to 8.04 - gksu "update-manager -c"
5. The long process completed successfully and I rebooted.
6. Upon reboot the new kernel was stuck - and would not boot - it seems like it is unable to load the virtual HDisks driver

7. I found this thread and downloaded the kernel and installed via: dpkg -i <file>

8. It generated the kernels:
vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-xen

and initrd image:
initrd.img-2.6.24-19-xen

9. Attempt to boot, I am unable to successfully boot - process pauses with the error:

"Error 13: ... unsupported executable format" ... (indicates the xen kernel) "

Am I missing something from the above steps?

please advise.

Best,

Aspasia.
