Guide to install a 32-bit Fedora guest into a 64-bit Debian host.
Contents |
[edit] 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)
[edit] 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
[edit] 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.
[edit] 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
