In the past I have used clonzilla under xen to backup windows domains. I just tried it and it will not work. this is xen 4.1.2 and clonzilla-live 1.2.10-14 the disk line is: disk = [ ''phy:/dev/xvg0/nfdlts-c,hda,w'', ''file:/extra/isoimages/clonzilla.iso,hdc:cdrom,r'' ] It boots cd OK. The problem is devices are xvda not hda and clonzilla is not happy with that. I tried sda and it seems to have a scsi driver problem. Can I force the device to be hda? Any ideas?

I assume you are doing this as an HVM right? It''s still showing up as xvda? That seems strange.

That system has xen 4.1.0 but not sure what was on it when I ran clonezilla. I suspect it''s the new version of xen that does it. I put in a bug report to clonezilla for if excepted xvda there would be no problem.

This disables the PVonHVM-devices, of which xvda is the disk "representation". The VM will now only see "sda" (as the default ATA-emulation). -- --- Heiko. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Did some more testing. sometimes it works for a while. If I rmmod 8139cp modprobe 8139cp bring it up can get a few pings in.

Use "ls -lad /sys/class/net/eth?/device/driver" to find out which device is using which driver. - use qemu to start it up (using manually-created config file). It''ll be slow (as you don''t have either cpu acceleration or pv drivers), but it should work -- Fajar _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
