[Fedora-xen] 2.6.15-1.1977_FC5hypervisor does not boot (booting is interrupted by restart)
Hello everybody,
This is my first e-mail into this mailing list. I have a problem to start
2.6.15-1.1977_FC5hypervisor kernel (domain0).
When I select this option in a grub I can see that xen hypervisor is loading
but after short time my laptop is restarted.
I cannot tell you last (error) message because pause or CTRL+S does not work
and laptop is restarted before drives are mounted so I have no logs.
Do you have any idea where is the problem and how can I pause booting so I
can see last (error) message?
Other details: I have Dell latitude D600 with Pentium M. I have upgraded FC4
to FC5 test3 using DVD iso. I have updated all packages after that using yum
update.
Kernel 2.6.15-1.1977_FC5 works fine on my laptop. I was also able to start
domain0 in FC4 using kernel from Rik van Riel''s web page
(2.6.12-1.1454_FC4
).
Some other problems I found:
When I upgraded from FC4 to FC5 test3 I did not see any option to install
XEN from DVD (I have selected upgrade not new install in anaconda).
Also entries for FC4 kernel were deleted from my grub.conf and original
grub.conf was not saved.
When I have installed kernel 1977_FC5 or 1977_FC5hypervisor my grub.conf was
not updated, so I had to update it manually (I have used yum install).
Part of my grub.conf configuration (manually added) - do you see any problem
here?

[Fedora-xen] Re: 2.6.15-1.1977_FC5hypervisor does not boot (booting is interrupted by restart)
Hello,
I''m sending an update, based on some advices I have changed my
grub.conf:
title Fedora Core (2.6.15-1.1977_FC5hypervisor )
root (hd0,6)
kernel /boot/xen.gz-2.6.15-1.1977_FC5 com1=1200,8n1 console=com1,vga
sync_console noreboot
module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.1977_FC5hypervisor ro
root=/dev/VolGroup01/LogVol00 init 3 com1=1200,8n1 console=com1,vga
sync_console noreboot
module /boot/initrd-2.6.15-1.1977_FC5hypervisor.img
So I have changed speed of display to synchronise with com port to 1200
bauds and noreboot option so I can read last messages.
XEN has loaded fine, but domain0 was not able to mount some drives:
Here are some error messages:
<cut>
Red Hat nash version 5.0.28
Mounting proc filesystem
Mounting sysfs filesystem
Creating /dev
Creating initial device nodes
mknod: failed to create /dev/ram0 file exists ! first error message I
have noticed
mknod: failed to create /dev/ram1 file exists
<cut>
Creating block device node
Loading jbd.ko module
Loading ext3.ko module
Creating root device
Mounting root filesystem
mount: could not find filesystem /dev/root
Setuproot: mouting /dev failed: No such file or directory
Setuproot: error mounting /proc: No such file or directory
Setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such file or directory
<cut>
Do you have any idea where the problem is?
I can provide more detailed log if somebody is interested...
Do you think I should open bugzilla ticket?
Thank you very much for an advice,
Cheers,
Jan
