Hi folks, I have a weird problem using Debian Etch for dom0. When I start my domU I get the message: fsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sda3 Since my root partition is also ext3 this cannot be a problem of missing ext3 support. This problem occurs with Debian Sarge domU as well as Debian Etch domU. I have set up a similar system with Debian Sarge as dom0 where this problem does not occur. Both systems use a 2.6.16 kernel for dom0 and domUs and Xen 3.0.2. In both cases I have used debootstrap to populate the domU. Both domU kernels (that on the Etch dom0 and that on the Sarge dom0) are compiled with exactly the same config. I have searched the net for hints on where the problem might come from but found nothing appropriate. I am sure it is not a Xen problem, but since there is much Debian knowledge on the list I hope someone can push me the right direction. Thanks for any hint or help.

Hi I set up my etch systems with debootstrap as well. I found I needed to do cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV hda maybe you need to MAKEDEV sda?

Hi,
one easy way to create domU domains in debian is using the
xen-tools (http://xen-tools.org/software/xen-tools/). Once you have it
configured (really easy and with a lot of options) to create a domU is
just a single command: xen-create-image --hostname etch --ip
172.25.89.123
You can create it to use disk files or a LVM volume group... and
that''s all!

Etch changed a lot at the installer, and don''t forget, it is NOT stable.
