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
to 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:
