[Xen-users] Trying to run centos4.3 on xen under debian unstable

[Marco Milanesi <kpanic@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi,

        I followed http://mark.foster.cc/wiki/index.php/Centos-4_on_Xen and
populated the image with centos' packages downloaded from the net.

my config file in /etc/xen is centos, so /etc/xen/centos contains:

kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11-xenU"
memory = 96
name = "centos"
dhcp = "dhcp"
disk = [ 
'file:/home/kpanic/xen-images/centos.img,sdb1,w','file:/home/kpanic/xen-images/centos-swap.img,sdb1,w'
 ]
# or if you use LVM
# disk = [ 'phy:/dev/vg01/vol01,sdb1,w','phy:/dev/vg01/vol02,sdb2,w' ]
root = "/dev/sdb1 ro"

but when I try to:

# xm create -c centos

I obtain:

Using config file "/etc/xen/centos".
Error: (22, 'Invalid argument')

here is the paste of /var/log/xend.log:

and /var/log/xend-debug.log:

what I'm doing wrong?

(sorry for long paste)

thanks in advance
