Kernel/initrd guessing
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
In xen-tools 3.4-1 a new feature was added which allows using
|
|
backtick expressions in xen-tools.conf.
|
|
|
|
Using this feature you can improve kernel/initrd guessing by
|
|
changing/adding the following options in xen-tools.conf:
|
|
|
|
kernel = /boot/vmlinuz-`uname -r`
|
|
ramdisk = /boot/initrd.img-`uname -r`
|
|
|
|
|
|
Upgrading Existing kernel/initrd paths
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The kernel, and initrd, settings which are included in the xen-tools
|
|
(either statically or dynamically with `uname -r`) are only applied
|
|
when the new guest domains are created.
|
|
|
|
If you upgrade your kernel you will be left with existing xen
|
|
guest domains which :
|
|
|
|
- Have the wrong paths setup in /etc/xen/*.cfg
|
|
- Have incorrect modules stored within their disk images.
|
|
|
|
Both of these can be updated via the helper scripts located
|
|
in:
