Bug#504095: installation-report: xen paravirt installation
Package: installation-reports
Version: 2.38
Severity: normal
Boot method: network
Image version: http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/images/current/
Date: 20081031
Machine: Xen Paravirtual machine on a lenny Dom0
Partitions:

/dev/xvda2 243 261 152617+ 5 Extended
/dev/xvda5 243 261 152586 82 Linux swap / Solaris

Comments/Problems:
The installtion itself worked great but d-i failed to install an
appropriate kernel for Xen Paravirt so the system failed to boot. To
fix this up I mounted the partition in the dom0 and installed the
correct kernel. d-i installed linux-image-2.6.26-1-486 while it should
have picked linux-image-2.6.26-1-xen-686 (this also pulls in libc6-xen
via a Recommends). Seems base-installer/kernel/i386.sh needs an
detect_xen_paravirt?
One more thing: in order to get console output via "virsh console" I had
to add "xencons=tty" to the grub command line.
