Xen setup for Skolelinux/debian-edu =================================== Morten Werner and I discussed the use of tester.skolelinux.no today, and the idea of setting it up as a xen server came up. I liked the idea, and decided to give it a go. I googled for 'debian xen etch', and found , and followed those instructions as well as some random installation of xen-related packages based on 'aptitude search xen'. I've done this so far: aptitude install xen-utils xen-tools xen aptitude install linux-headers-2.6-xen-686 aptitude install linux-image-2.6-xen-686 apt-get install xen-linux-system-2.6.17-2-xen-686 \ xen-utils-3.0-unstable-1 xen-ioemu-3.0-unstable bridge-utils libc6-xen Also, I edited /etc/xen-tools/xen-tools.conf to change 2.6.16-2 to 2.6.17-2, to match the currently running kernel. I've rebooted the machine, and it seem to be running as a xen server now. tester:~# xm list Name ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State Time(s) Domain-0 0 2401 4 r----- 14.7 tester:~# I have no idea where to continue from here, but expect to learn it shortly. :) - install 2.6.18 kernel (from sid 2006-11-21), as 2.6.17 isn't working properly.
