Fedora Core Install
Fedora Core 8, Interactive Installation (paravirtualized kernel)
Type:
ConVirt Provisionable Image
Version:
1.0
Author:
The ConVirt Team
Requirements:
ConVirt v0.8+, Xen v3.0.4+, 32-bit, Xen-enabled Linux host.
Description:
This image creates a 5G virtual disk (vbd) and kicks off an interactive, anaconda installation for Fedora 8.
The kernel_src and ramdisk_src point to the location from where the initial kernel and ramdisk are to be downloaded.
Instructions:
- Check the default provisioning parameters and alter them to suit your environment if required.
- Provision the VM configuration normally using ConVirt.
- Start the Virtual Machine (VM) and complete the installation.
- (Important) Once the installation is complete, edit the new VM's configuration and change
the kernel and ramdisk entries to EITHER point to a local copy of a xen paravirtualised
kernel and associated ramdisk. OR set the bootloader entry
(typically /usr/bin/pygrub)
- Restart the VM.
