ISO does not know anything about XEN, so it may fail. You can try to isntall odler RouterOS and then try to boot that image with XEN package installed on RouterOS. But i would suggest you to look at KVM instead as it is more stable and you do not need to alter kernel to run in it.

As is posted http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php ... 88#p258688 I could install RouterOS 4.17 into Xen HVM.
Simply booted the CD, after install, shutdown the DomU, edit the config (remove cd image, and set boot to HD image) and worked

Sadly could not install 5.0 nor can upgrade

Janisk, Debian 6.0 even have 2.6.32-5-xen only :-(

Do You have a good reason why not 2.6.32 work but 2.6.35 would? if so, i would try to make a 2.6.35-xen kernel. thanks!

that -xen extension usually means that kernel have xen support in it. And that is what you want to avoid.

if you where talking about host, then yes, you can try, if guest - avoid :)

XEN was once supported virtualization on x86 hardware but was replaced by KVM. And the later has become very stable lately.

yes, host is xen.

I've upgrade Lenny to Squeeze, Xen 3.2-1 to 4.0 and works!
(kernel is stock 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64)
I mean, now i can install 5.0 and also upgrade 4.17 to 5.0!

Solved, thanks!
