Hi all,

 

I'm trying to bring up a guest OS on Linux with Xen. I have booted the PC with Dom 0 in the partition /dev/hdc2 (Size 10 GB).  

 

I have created a separate partition /dev/hdc3 (size 10 GB) and replicated the Dom 0 directories in this partition and changed the /etc/fstab in /dev/hda3 (/mnt - have mounted this partition (/dev/hdc3) in /mnt ) as

 

/dev/sda1            /                       ext3    defaults       1 1    (sda1 -> because have specified this in the guest os configuration file)

 

I have unmounted /dev/hdc3 (/mnt) before booting the guest OS. ( ! )

 

The Guest OS configuration file looks like

 

kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.el5xen" – this image in same as Dom 0.

memory = 64

vif = [ '' ]

disk = [ 'phy:hdc3,sda1,w' ]

root = "/dev/sda1 ro"

extra = "4 debug"

 

When I ran this configuration file for booting guest OS using - xm create myvmconf vmid=1, I'm getting the following errors:

 

XENBUS: Device with no driver: device/vbd/257

XENBUS: Device with no driver: device/vif/0

md: Autodetecting RAID arrays.

md: autorun ...

md: ... autorun DONE.

VFS: Cannot open root device "sda1" or unknown-block(0,0)

Please append a correct "root=" boot option

Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

 

The Xend log shows

Please help me getting through this. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.


Looks like you are probably just missing the scsi module for the domU.

You should add a ramdisk= line to your guest config, that should fix the problem provided that the initrd that you pass has the module, otherwise add the module
to it and boot with the updated ramdisk file.


Cheers,
Todd
