Re: [Xen-users] Xen 3.1.4: HVM Configuration

["Omer Khalid" <Omer.Khalid@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have managed to launch my HVM guest and VNC is up and running...phewwww....

But here comes another problem, my HVM fails to boot with the following output:

"

Booting from hard disk..

Boot from hard disk failed: not a bootable disk"

FATAL: Not a bootable device

"

I have the following in my VM configuration file:

disk=['phy:/dev/vg1/slc4_hvm,ioemu:hda,w','phy:/dev/vg1/slc4_swap, ioemu:hdb,w','phy:/dev/vg1/athena-14.2.10,ioemu:hdc,w']

root= "/dev/hda ro"

I have also tried the following combination and it also met the same fate as above :-(

disk=['phy:/dev/vg1/slc4_hvm,ioemu:hda1,w','phy:/dev/vg1/slc4_swap, ioemu:hda2,w','phy:/dev/vg1/athena-14.2.10,ioemu:hdb1,w']

root= "/dev/hda1 ro"

Any ideas?

Cheers

Omer

Hello folks...

Sorry for my ignorance, I didn't realize that I would need vncviewer and vncserver up and running...I will install it and will report back!

Cheers

Hi Tammo,

VNC sessions are generally based on the virtual framebuffer device and input event frontend drivers (xenfb and xenkbd), iirc these also were recently merged with qemu to reduce code overhead. Just because it's a text console doesn't necessarily mean it's not "graphic", in fact as long as it relies on framebuffer access instead of a character device it actually is. Otherwise we could natively use the xen console with HVM guests.

In that case, how could i verify/configure the xenfb and xenkbd configuration. And what configuration it should be?

Thanks,

Omer
