README ====== Kernel/initrd guessing ====================== In xen-tools 3.4-1 a new feature was added which allows using backtick expressions in xen-tools.conf. Using this feature you can improve kernel/initrd guessing by changing/adding the following options in xen-tools.conf: kernel = /boot/vmlinuz-`uname -r` ramdisk = /boot/initrd.img-`uname -r` Upgrading Existing kernel/initrd paths -------------------------------------- The kernel, and initrd, settings which are included in the xen-tools (either statically or dynamically with `uname -r`) are only applied when the new guest domains are created. If you upgrade your kernel you will be left with existing xen guest domains which : - Have the wrong paths setup in /etc/xen/*.cfg - Have incorrect modules stored within their disk images. Both of these can be updated via the helper scripts located in: /usr/share/doc/xen-tools/examples/
