When it comes to the partitioning, I select Manually edit partition table. I create(thats the howto speaking vin not me) the following partitions: * /boot 100 MB (Primary) (Location for the new partition: Beginning) (ext3) (Bootable flag: on <-- important, otherwise your system will not boot!) * swap 1GB (Logical) (Location for the new partition: Beginning) * / 2GB (Logical) (Location for the new partition: Beginning) (ext3) * /vserver the rest (Logical) (Location for the new partition: Beginning) (ext3) (Side note: You can also install everything in one big partition (as described here: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_debian_sarge), but then you have to keep in mind that the Grub stanzas I describe in this howto are slightly different. For example, when I write that I add title Xen 3.0.1 / XenLinux 2.6.12-xen0 root (hd0,0) kernel /xen.gz dom0_mem=65536 module /vmlinuz-2.6-xen0 root=/dev/hda6 ro console=tty0 to /boot/grub/menu.lst then you should probably use title Xen 3.0.1 / XenLinux 2.6.12-xen0 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=65536 module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xen0 root=/dev/hda6 ro console=tty0 NOW THIS IS ME speaking here below is what my menu.lst looks like at the moment ## ## End Default Options ## title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.8-2-386 root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-2-386 root=/dev/hda2 ro initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.8-2-386 savedefault boot title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.8-2-386 (recovery mode) root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-2-386 root=/dev/hda2 ro single initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.8-2-386 savedefault boot ### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST # This is a divider, added to separate the menu items below from the Debian # ones. title Other operating systems: root # This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for an existing # linux installation on /dev/hda1. title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.12-10-686 (on /dev/hda1) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-10-686 root=/dev/hda1 ro quiet splash initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.12-10-686 savedefault boot # This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for an existing # linux installation on /dev/hda1. title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.12-10-686 (recovery mode) (on /dev/hda1) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-10-686 root=/dev/hda1 ro single initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.12-10-686 savedefault boot # This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for an existing # linux installation on /dev/hda1. title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.12-10-386 (on /dev/hda1) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-10-386 root=/dev/hda1 ro quiet splash initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.12-10-386 savedefault boot # This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for an existing # linux installation on /dev/hda1. title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.12-10-386 (recovery mode) (on /dev/hda1) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-10-386 root=/dev/hda1 ro single initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.12-10-386 savedefault boot # This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for an existing # linux installation on /dev/hda1. title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.12-9-386 (on /dev/hda1) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-9-386 root=/dev/hda1 ro quiet splash initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.12-9-386 savedefault boot # This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for an existing # linux installation on /dev/hda1. title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.12-9-386 (recovery mode) (on /dev/hda1) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-9-386 root=/dev/hda1 ro single initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.12-9-386 savedefault boot # This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for an existing # linux installation on /dev/hda1. title Ubuntu, memtest86+ (on /dev/hda1) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/memtest86+.bin savedefault boot my QUESTION which of the grub XEN examples do i put in my menu.lst?
