Hi I am trying to put together a working xml file to create a new domain.... The root element is baffling me a bit. from the http://libvirt.org/ website root: the root filesystem from the guest viewpoint, it may be passed as part of the cmdline content too My current value is <root>/dev/xvd</root> but that was automatically created by satellite which I am trying to adapt for my own use. When I do a virsh create config file I get the following error: libvir: Xen Daemon error : POST operation failed: (xend.err "Error creating domain: (2, ''Invalid kernel'', ''xc_dom_parse_elf_kernel: ELF image has no shstrtab\\n'')") If someone would''nt mind explaing a bit more what this root file system is... Regards
