I have no experience with XenServer/XenCenter, hence some of my<br>
questions may appear to have obvious answer, but I just don't know it. :-)<br>

This looks like xen-tools can't correctly determine which Linux<br>
distribution its running on. The error message comes from<br>
xt-guess-suite-and-mirror which is only suited for Debian-based<br>
distributions. Maybe some defaults, like using<br>
xt-guess-suite-and-mirror in xen-tools.conf, are too Debian-centric.<br>
I'll put it on my TODO list as this needs some time to test as it<br>
involves setting up a non-debianesk Dom0.<br>
<br>
So two questions from me:<br>
<br>
Which is the source of steps to install xen-tools? (If it's a file in<br>
the source tar-ball it maybe needs a revamp.)<br>
<br>
On which Linux distribution is XenServer based on?<br>
<br>
If it's based on RedHat, maybe the RPMs from Fedora do work better<br>
than a (suspected) installation from source, as I suspect that Dario<br>
knows a little bit better how to fine tune stuff on RPM based Dom0s<br>
than me. See<br>

<br>
Dario: Any insight for me what default settings you had to change?<br>
<br>
Kind regards, Axel<br>
