Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE SERVER 11 - VIRTUALIZATION Manual page 69

Example 6.1 Xen Section in the menu.lst File (Typical)
title XEN
root (hd0,5)
kernel /boot/xen.gz hyper_parameters
module /boot/vmlinuz-xen kernel_parameters
module /boot/initrd-xen
The title line defines sections in the boot loader file. Do not change this line, because
YaST looks for the word XEN to verify that packages are installed.
The root line specifies which partition holds the boot partition and /boot directory.
Replace hd0,5 with the correct partition. For example, if the drive designated as hda1
holds the /boot directory, the entry would be hd0,0.
The kernel line specifies the directory and filename of the hypervisor. Replace
hyper_parameters with the parameters to pass to the hypervisor. A common pa-
rameter is dom0_mem=<amount_of_memory>, which specifies how much memory
to allocate to Domain0. The amount of memory is specified in KB, or you can specify
the units with a K, M, or G suffix, for example 128M. If the amount is not specified,
the Domain0 takes the maximum possible memory for its operations.
For more information about hypervisor parameters, see /usr/share/doc/
packages/xen/pdf/user.pdf section "Xen Boot Options" after installing the
package xen-doc-pdf.
The first module line specifies the directory and filename of the Linux kernel to load.
Replace kernel_parameters with the parameters to pass to the kernel. These
parameters are the same parameters as those that can be passed to a standard Linux
kernel on physical computer hardware.
The second module line specifies the directory and filename of the RAM disk used
to boot the virtual machine host.
To set the GRUB boot loader to automatically boot the Xen virtualization software,
change the default entry from 0, which means the first title entry, to the number
that corresponds to the title XEN entry. In the example file, Xen is the second
title line, so to specify it, change the value of default from 0 to 1.
