I would like to try OpenVZ. I have a Fedora 10 distro (x86-64), with Xen installed. So I would install OpenVZ, leaving Xen and Fedora 10 original kernel.
I think it is possibile to create a new entry on menu.lst which I can select to boot openvz or other operating system.
Is it possibile?
My current kernel is 2.6.27.5-117-fc10-x86_64.
Thank you

Hello
Maybe I'm getting this wong, but I think Fedora 10 only works as a guest under XEN. For Fedora 10 you need to also install xenner.
Read http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f10/en_US/What_D o_System_Adminstrators_Care_About.html#sn-Virtualization
Quote: | 8.3.1. Unified kernel image
The kernel-xen package has been obsoleted by the integration of paravirtualization operations in the upstream kernel. The kernel package in Fedora 10 supports booting as a guest domU, but will not function as a dom0 until such support is provided upstream. The most recent Fedora release with dom0 support is Fedora 8.
Booting a Xen domU guest within a Fedora 10 host requires the KVM based xenner. Xenner runs the guest kernel and a small Xen emulator together as a KVM guest.

You can read more about xenner here http://kraxel.fedorapeople.org/xenner/
Short status for xenner

(32bit non-pae, 32bit pae and 64bit) of xen paravirtualized kernels.
UP runs fine, SMP is unstable.

Hello
Yes, this should be possible to install 3 boot kernels on the same partition, FC8, FC8-XEN and OpenVZ.
From OpenVZ Users Guide:
Quote: | Next, you shall install the kernel RPM of your choice on your Hardware Node by issuing the following command:
# rpm -ihv vzkernel-name*.rpm
Note: You should not use the rpm –U command (where -U stands for "upgrade"); otherwise, all the kernels currently installed on the Node will be removed.
|
Just don't use the -U option!
