[Fedora-xen] RE: Upgrading Xen machines

[Formoso, Travis]

Minor update:

I moved the vmlinuz-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4xenU to /boot on the new server and then ran:

xm create -c /xen/sec-int-dns/xmconfig and got this error:

Error: (22, 'Invalid argument')

Thanks

All,

Right now I am in the process of migrating our Fedora Core 4 servers to Fedora Core 6. I set up the new xen server and transferred all the files from the old server to the new one.

The directory structure has root.img, swap.img, and xmconfig. 

If I do: xm create c /xen/sec-int-dns/xmconfig I get the error: Using config file "/xen/sec-int-dns/xmconfig".
Error: Kernel image does not exist: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4xenU

So it is looking for the older files which it should considering that is what is the xmconfig file. 

What is the best way to create the xen virtual machine from the root.img file and then do the upgrade to FC6?

Any tips and pointers would be helpful - thank you,

Travis
