I am hoping I can get a little light she on a problem I am
having trying to bring up a guest domain.
I suspect that the problem is in my supplied file system
First the environment.
VT enabled dual core EM64T processor,
Asus Mb (I can get the exact chipset infor
if relevant)
2 Gig of DRAM
SATA drives.
I have build and booted the domain 0 using 3.0.2-2 version
of xen. This seems ok.
I have to change the PIIX_ATA to module support, but that
was about it.
Xm list shows:
[root@localhost xen]# xm list
Name
ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs
State Time(s)
Domain-0
0 1019 2
r----- 44.6
Which is ok.
I have created a loop back file system on my /dev/sdd4.
If I mount /dev/sdd4 I can see a flat file of the correct
size. If I mount this in loopback mode, I can see the contents properly.
[root@localhost xen]# ls /remote
lost+found vmdisk1
[root@localhost xen]# df

[root@localhost xen]# ls /mnt/loop
bin dev etc home lib

But when I try to start something up, I get the following:
(other stuff snipped)
…

Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
This looks to me like my file system is not “ok”.
BTW: My simple config file is:
[root@localhost xen]# cat mach1
kernel = '/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-xen'
ramdisk = '/boot/initrd-2.6.16-xen.img'
disk =
['file:/remote/vmdisk1,sdd4,w']
root = '/dev/sdd4 ro'
memory = 512
any suggestions here?
Thanks
Gord
