Hello group, I have tested FC5 test 2 and xen. All ran very good. I want to take a further test that runs on a different OS guest (i.e. running FC4 guest OS on FC5 test2 hypervisor), but I didn't know howto build the guest OS yet.
Can you guys show me how? Or can you point me to somw urls that have some instructions/hints/howto build the OS guests?
Thanks in advance for your help, Best regards,

For Fedora Core 4 I used the following: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraXenQuickstart then I mounted the fc4 disck in loopback and installed the guest 2.6.15 kernels in it (but there is a lot of dependancies mismatches, the only goal was to have /lib/modules/ subtrees for xennet.ko network module). Then I hand edited a /etc/xen/fc4 configuration file using the path to those modules. I don't think there is really a clean way which will work in many cases unfortunately, with paravirtualization you end up mixing things from the Dom0 OS and from the DomU one.

If you want a guest image already prepared, check out http:// jailtime.org/.
Also http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraXenQuickstartFC5 has instructions for using /usr/sbin/xenguest-install.py.

But it uses FC5 anaconda and xen install image. It doesn't seem like good way how install the FC4 guest.
