RE: [Xen-users] Help with a transfer

["Formoso, Travis" <Travis.Formoso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I found this page on the wiki: http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Fedora5Xen0DomU

This is the problem I am having and did try to use this to solve the problem.

It reads "and then specify /boot/$KERNEL-$DOMNAME.img as the ramdisk when 
booting $DOMNAME (either in the configuration file for $DOMNAME, or in the boot 
sequence in $DOMNAME -- in the latter case you'll have to copy 
/boot/$KERNEL-$DOMNAME.img from Dom0 into $DOMNAME's filesystem)"

Here is my monitoring config file (monitoring is the DOMNAME)

name = "monitoring"
memory = "230"
disk = [ 'file:/xen/disk.img,xvda,w' ]
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:70:2b:0a' ]
uuid = "f15e7429-b109-0e66-f189-e3bab5a606bc"
bootloader="/usr/bin/pygrub"
ramdisk="/boot/2.6.19-1.2895.fc6xen-monitoring.img"

on_reboot   = 'restart'
on_crash    = 'restart'

is this correct?

I added the ramdisk part - not sure if that is correct according to the 
instructions.

Thanks,

Travis

I made further progress. Now when I do a xm create -c I get the choice of 
choosing FC6. I choose it however I do get this error:

unmounting old /dev
unmounting old /proc
unmounting old /sys
switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

In the log file:

Hello,

I am transferring a disk.img from one xen server to another. The original 
disk.img was used with Fedora Core 5. The new server has Fedora Core 6. 

I transferred the disk.img and the config file from the old server to the new 
one. Here is the output when I try to create the virtual machine.

[root@xen4 xen]# xm create -c monitoring 
Using config file "./monitoring". 
Going to boot Fedora Core (2.6.18-1.2257.fc5xenU) 
  kernel: /vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2257.fc5xenU 
  initrd: /initrd-2.6.18-1.2257.fc5xenU.img 
Error: (22, 'Invalid argument') 

I get the Error message above. Is there any way to get this up and working? Any 
suggestions appreciated.

Thank you,

Travis
