Embedded Files
created the lv disk xvda, xvdb and xvdc as for fedora.
as loop back ISO is not getting mounted in DHARRA - had to mount ISO on shoonya and the scp the 2 files (kernel+initramfs). UPDATE - after upgrade to 3.3.3 the local loop back mount is working.
using alpine domU instructions + the fedora config file created a new config file. gave a specifc MAC addr and bridge to br0 (directly to BT).
on boot did setup-alpine but no install.
create
/boot on xvda1 200M ext4
/ on xvda2 10G ext4
/home on xvdb1 100G ext4
swap on xvdc1 8G.
ifconfig eth0 up and udhcpc eth0.
edit /etc/apk/repositories and add UK repo
apk update
apk upgrade
apk add e2fsprogs
mkfs.ext4 /dev/xvda1 {and the other partitions: xvda2, xvdb1}
mount / on /mnt and then mkdir /mnt/home and /mnt/boot.
mounted the 2 partitions xvda1 and xvdb1 on the /mnt/boot and /mnt/home
setup-disk -v -m sys /mnt
this creates the necessary fstab (except swap) in /mnt/etc/fstab
dd bs=440 conv=notrunc count=1 if=/usr/share/syslinux/mbr.bin of=/dev/xvda (TO DO OR NOT TO DO).
then modify the xen_config_alpineServer to remove ISO and edit the additional modules line to give root=/dev/xvda2
boot. create the menu.lst file.
THIS WORKS FOR PV BOOTING USING domU KERNEL
IN dom0:
the xl config file should read

In domU:
cd /boot
mkdir grub
cd grub

initrd /initramfs-grsec
RESERVE IP FOR THIS MAC ADDRESS
Setup remote access w/ SSH and SCREEN
RUN xl command WITHOUT -c option ...so the console is not attached to dom0's shell
TO ATTACH TO CONSOLE OF RUNNING domU
xl console <id>
to detach: ^] (the telnet detach command)
