Hi Folks, Just wondering if anyone had any tips for trying to install a NV 94 DomU with ZFS root to an iSCSI Target? The iSCSI Target happens to be a NV 94 system with ZVOLs exported as the Targets, but I wouldn''t think that would matter. I tried this last week and the install seemed to complete fine, but when the DomU attempted to reboot after install, I received a message to the effect of "boot loader returned no data." I would have to try it again to get the exact message. Anyone have any ideas on how to make this work? On the same systems I have been successful creating a DomU with UFS root on the iSCSI Target, but I was thinking ZFS would be nicer to ensure more transactional integrity, and hopefully to even be able to live upgrade the DomU. Thoughts? --joe

Thanks! Its unclear from the bug whether the fix means I will need to upgrade the Dom0 or if I will just need to use b96+ for the DomU''s. Since I''ve only ever seen pygrub referenced within Dom0 I am guessing it will be Dom0 that I will have to upgrade? --joe
