All, I''m bringing up a new Fedora 7 server (quad core, about 1TByte Raid 5 disk). Fedora installed without any problem and the upgrade to the Xen kernel went without incident. I ran into problems after installing Windows 2003. The copying went fine, but when I got to the step to manually restart the virtual image I get the following error message: virDomainCreate() failed POST operation failed: (xend.err ''Device 5632 (vbd) could not be connected.\nDevice /dev/ is mounted read-write in the privileged domain,\nand so cannot be mounted read-only by a guest.'') I''m inclined to point the blame at the factory installed CD-RW/DVD since I put the NTFS in a file during Xen setup. The questions for the group are: Is this expected behavior? If yes, can I disable the write option on the CD-RW so it become a read-only block device? Or am I mistaken about the CD-RW? My server configuration is simple: Dell 2900 Quad Core Raid 5 3x500GB WD disks Built in Broadcom 2x Ethernet Clean installation of Fedora 7 without anything extra added. -- Per
