Guide to install a 32-bit Fedora guest into a 64-bit Debian host. __TOC__ ==Set up yum repository== host# mkdir /etc/rpm host# mkdir /var/lib/rpm host# apt-get install yum linux32 host# cp -a /usr/lib/util-vserver/distributions/fc6/{yum,yum.repos.d} /etc/vservers/.distributions/fc6 vserver build does not use /etc/yum*, though you will see an ignorable error message about it if it doesn't exist. Edit the files /etc/vservers/.distributions/fc6/yum.repos.d/fedora-{core,updates,extras}.repo * Uncomment the first baseurl= line of each file (by removing the leading # character) ===Proxy=== If you use a proxy, append to /etc/vservers/.distributions/fc6/yum/yum.conf (in the [main] section) a line of the form: proxy=http://proxy.yourcompany.com:3128 ==Build vserver== host# export ARCH=i386 host# export http_proxy=http://proxy.yourcompany.com:3128 host# linux32 vserver fedora-zod-32-gustname build -m yum --context 42 --hostname=fedora-zod-32-guestname --interface dummy0=eth0:10.0.0.123/8 --rootdir /var/lib/vservers -- -d fc6 -- --arch i386 host# unset ARCH you may also create '''/etc/rpm/platform''' file: guest# vi /etc/rpm/platform i386-redhat-linux-gnu this way yum and rpm will use i386 packages NOTE: You may get an error "AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Context'" when executing this (Debian Lenny 5.0.3) because the gpgme package is too old. You can simply edit the misc.py file and early out that function that fails and the process will continue just fine. See http://openvz.org/pipermail/users/2009-January/002554.html for details. ==Verify== To observe the 32-bitness of the guest's applications, do: host# linux32 vyum fedora-zod-32-guestname -- install file host# vserver fedora-zod-32-guestname start host# vserver fedora-zod-32-guestname enter fedora-zod-32-guestname# file /bin/ls /bin/ls: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, stripped or host# file /var/lib/vservers/fedora-zod-32-guestname/bin/ls /var/lib/vservers/fedora-zod-32-guestname/bin/ls: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, stripped ==See also== * [[Building Guest Systems]] * [[Installing Ubuntu on Debian]] [[Category:OS guest under linux-vserver]]
