[Xen-users] Installing CentOS 4.3 Guest OS

["Demetri Mouratis" <dmourati.xen.users@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've been struggling to figure out how to install a CentOS 4.3 guest
OS on top of my Xen-enabled FC5.  I've already gotten a good guest FC5
installed but can't get CentOS going.  My first attempt was to use the
rpmstrap approach which seemed terribly dated.  Then, I went to the
FC4 documentation approach of running yum to install the CentOS os
inside a filesystem image.  This worked and now I'm trying to start my
new domain which fails.

Here's my xen configuration:

[root@db4 ~]# cat /etc/xen/xendomain2
# Automatically generated xen config file
kernel ="/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5xenU"
memory = "256"
name = "xendomain2"
disk = [ 'file:/home/xen/xendomain2,sda1,w' ]
root = "/dev/sda1"
extra = "ro selinux=0 3"

And the kernel I'm running:

[root@db4 ~]# rpm -q kernel-xenU
kernel-xenU-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5

And here's what happens when I try to start xendomain2:

[root@db4 ~]# xm create -c xendomain2
Using config file "/etc/xen/xendomain2".
Error: Device 2049 (vbd) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working.

Any help or pointers appreciated.

Thanks.
