Hi there,

I am running out of ideas how to install Plan9 in Fedora8 latest XEN.

Followed instructions from wiki.

Ended up having following plan9inst:
kernel = "/var/local/xenboxes/plan9/9xeninst.gz"
memory = 128
name = "plan9"
vif = [ 'mac=aa:00:10:00:00:10' ]
disk = [ 'file:/var/local/xenboxes/plan9/plan9.img,sda,w',
'file:/var/local/isos/plan9.iso,sdb,r' ]
on_poweroff = 'destroy'
on_reboot = 'destroy'
on_crash = 'destroy'

# This is the equivalent of plan9.ini:
extra="""
nobootprompt=local!/boot/bzroot
bootfile=sd01!cdboot!bootdisk.img
"""

However once I execute:
xm create -c plan9inst

I get following error message:
Using config file "./plan9inst".
Error: (2, 'Invalid kernel', 'xc_dom_compat_check: guest type
xen-3.0-x86_32 not supported by xen kernel, sorry\n')

I got 9xeninst.gz from http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sources/xen/xen3/
iso downloaded from http://cm.bell-labs.com/plan9/download/plan9.iso.bz2

Thanks in advance,
Mike
