Talk:Create Alpine Linux PV DomU

I had problems booting a 32bit Alpine domU on a OracleVM 2.2.2 (64bit) host - most probably since the Alpine kernel uses PVops.

The domU kernel failed to load with the following error:

Error: (2, 'Invalid kernel', 'elf_xen_note_check: ERROR: Will only load images built for the generic loader or Linux images')

Solution is to make sure you have a 64bit ISO.

Changes: I had to ln -s /media/cdrom to /media/xvdc or setup-alpine would not find some information.

The root fs would end up in readonly mount even when it shouldn't. How to fix?
