Hi,
I am trying to set up fully virtualized guest VMs (Fedora core 6) on Xen -
3.1 on a AMD Opteron SVM enabled system (blade with 2 dual cores). I
followed the instructions in the user manual to create an image of the OS. I
have included the configuration file that I am using and also information
using xm info. I am a newbie to Xen installation and would really appreciate
help and suggestions.
Following is the error message I get when I try the command xm create -c
xmexample.hvm . (I have also tried xm create xmexample.hvm but the VM
doesnt work)
Using config file "./xmexample.hvm".
Started domain HVM1
Unexpected error: exceptions.OSError
Please report to xen-devel@lists.xensource.com
