I have a disk image file that was created using dd,
makereiserfs dance,
operating system files copied in directly with cp –ax
(vi a temporary mount,
and then dismounted).
My domU configuration is as follows:
--------------------------------
kernel = "/RAID/data/xen/bootsles10/vmlinuz-xen"
ramdisk = "/RAID/data/xen/bootsles10/initrd-xen"
memory = 2048
name = "vm2"
vcpus = 1
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:01:00:11, bridge=xenbr0' ]
disk = [ 'file:/RAID/data/xen/images/suse.img,hda1,w' ]
dhcp="dhcp"
#root = "/dev/hda1 ro"
root = "/dev/hda1"
extra = "4"
>
--------------------------------
Please note the “disk” and “root”
lines. The path to the suse.img file is correct.
The paths to the kernels and the ramdisks are correct.
I’m calling your attention to the disk and root lines,
because I cannot find a guide
that explains all the options here, and am not entirely sure
they are correct.
On to my errors:
…

--------------------------------
I’ve navigated this file system and checked that the “cannot
execute” files are executable.
They are. I’m wondering if there is some pathing
problem?
The other thing that I’ve tried is commenting out the “root”
line. I get:
“Waiting for device /dev/sda2 to appear: ………………not
found –exiting to /bin/sh”
Is there something wrong with my domU config?
