Hi,

I am trying to run embeddedxen on a vmware ubuntu 8.04 installation.


As specified in the getting started, there are some software version which are required, as it seems you are using a virtualization solution, it should not be a major problem to begin with the correct software versions. That would help immensely in getting you up and running in the shortest amount of time.

I followed the steps given inhttp://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/embeddedxen/index.php?title=GettingStarted

I configured everything but never get kernel detect the rootfs because of nfs server configuration problem.

If you are hitting some NFS problems, it would be a good thing to check your firewall settings, /etc/hosts.allow, /etc/hosts.deny as well as VMware network settings. The NFS traffic may be filtered by these.

Looks like the addresses are hardcoded (192.168.1.1) and never worked out for me.

It is not, everything is specified in the dhcp config. You may adapt these as you wish, as long as you do it everywhere, i.e. in:
o /etc/network/interfaces
  (the bridge has to be on the correct network)
o /etc/exports
  (obviously, you have to let the correct network access your shares)
o /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf
  (The settings for the network, default gateway, IP address and all are there.)

Is there anyway that i can configure dom0 to boot from ramfs ?


It may be possible, but complicated. As of now, we never used that option as we are booting an image which is not standard at all, as explained in the technical report. It seems to me it is much simpler to follow the setup, as it is also much more flexible.

For any further help, I would require the full log.
