Xen project Mailing List

Thanks Ian.

I am trying now with xvda. I created xvda dusj using following command:

mknod /dev/xvda1

b 202 0

mknod /dev/xvdb1

b 202 16

My new config file is given below:
$ cat kx1.cfg
name="kx1"
memory=1024
vcpus=2
builder="generic"


disk=[ 'file:/bhadresh/kx1.raw,xvda1,w', 'file:/bhadresh/sw1.raw,xvdb1,w' ]
kernel="/boot/vmlinuz-3.11.8-200.fc19.x86_64"
ramdisk="/boot/initramfs-3.11.8-200.fc19.x86_64.img"

root="/dev/xvda1 ro"

boot="c"

>>>From the dracut console can you see any Xen block devices in /dev/ at all?

yes, this looks to be problem. the newly created block devices i am not able to see from dracut console.

from dracut console:

How are you creating the guest (i.e. the filesystems)? Are you running
the Fedora installer or using some other tool?

How did you create the ramdisk you are using? Does it contain all of the
necessary drivers (specifically the blkfront driver)?

From the dracut console can you see any Xen block devices in /dev/ at
all?

This config file appears to be trying to create a PV guest but "hda" is
only available with HVM guests. Try xvda instead.
