All,
Right now I am in the process of migrating our Fedora Core 4 servers to Fedora Core 6. I set up the new xen server and transferred all the files from the old server to the new one.
The directory structure has root.img, swap.img, and xmconfig.
If I do: xm create c /xen/sec-int-dns/xmconfig I get the error: Using config file "/xen/sec-int-dns/xmconfig". Error: Kernel image does not exist: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4xenU
So it is looking for the older files which it should considering that is what is the xmconfig file.
What is the best way to create the xen virtual machine from the root.img file and then do the upgrade to FC6?
Any tips and pointers would be helpful - thank you,
Travis

Minor update:
I moved the vmlinuz-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4xenU to /boot on the new server and then ran:
xm create -c /xen/sec-int-dns/xmconfig and got this error:
Error: (22, 'Invalid argument')
Thanks

I'm guesing you're trying a i386 kernel here ? FC4 is using the obsolete non-PAE kernels, while FC6 and later are all PAE. You can't mix & match a PAE and non-PAE kernels in host & guest.

Looking at the log files I did catch this:
[root@xen5 xen]# cat /var/log/xen/xend-debug.log Nothing to flush. Nothing to flush. ERROR: Will only load images built for Xen v3.0 ERROR: Error constructing guest OS
Anyone know what I could do to get this up and running?
