Hello, does anyone have a vbd file of these 2 Operating Systems ? So far I only managed to get Debian Sarge installed properly with deboostrap. I would be more than happy if anyone had a DiskImage or a good howto for at least FreeBSD. Thanks Regards Christian Keil _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com

Hi, Is there any working script, similar to deboostrap, for CentOS 5? I have found rpmstrap [1] at RPMforge.. but only works for CentOS-4, and appears that's out of date. thanks! [1] http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/rpmstrap/ -- Santi Saez http://woop.es

Hi, is it possible to append more than only one file? Atm i've the kernel and my initrd that are loading. How can i access the other files in my diskimage? My problem is, that i can't see/mount the additional files in my diskimage, only the kernel and the initrd are shown. And I want to have separate files, it is not possible for me to put all needed files in the initrd to solve my

Hi, While trying to ./configure libguestfs on gentoo fails since it requires feboostrap or deboostrap Can this be made optional and not as necessary requirement, since there are still many useful uses for libguestfs besides bootstrapping, which can be used on distros like gentoo. Thanks Alex

Hi, There are a couple of open bugs against Xen-3 with patches which directly impact my efforts to have Debian Installer work in a Xen guest domain for Lenny. ?In both cases the relevant fixes are already committed in upstream Xen and I've been rebuilding and using the Debian packages with them without problems. First is #476366 which is a pygrub issue that prevents booting a guest using

I am running Xen 3.0 (64bit) on CentOS 5.3, and I want to install Ubuntu 10.04 using the steps below: 1. Create a new disk with LVM 2. Downlaod vmlinuz & initrd.gz from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/xen/ 3. /usr/sbin/xm create -c /etc/xen/ubuntu.cfg install=true 4.

virt-dib is a new tool to run the elements of diskimage-builder using libguestfs. --- I would like to have it reviewed at this point, so it can be used. Documentation and code can be improved and polished following feedback. .gitignore | 5 + Makefile.am | 3 +- appliance/packagelist.in | 7 + configure.ac | 1 + dib/Makefile.am | 144

Using PXELINUX and MEMDISK I started a MS-DOS-Diskimage. How can I get the DHCP-Options or BOOTP-Tags from within MS-DOS?? (Like bppatch from 3com.)

Hi, I scribbled a simple guestfs based program called guestfs-xfer with following synopsis: Usage: guest-xfer [options] [op] [diskimage] op = [ls|cat|write] options: -d, --guestdevice DEV guest device --blocksize BS blocksize [default: 1048576] -o, --offset OFF offset [default: 0] So eg. `cat /dev/urandom | guest-xfer -d /dev/sda

Hi all, I am trying to mount images that I previously created with dd and the images have two partitions (swap and LVM). I use these images to house data for my Xen Guests. For some reason (possibly Kernel conflicts for paravirtualized domains) I am unable to boot my Guest images. Failing which I would like to mount the disk images and atleast get my data out of them. dd -o loop server.img

Is it possable to boot a diskimage with syslinux? So often I run into bios upgrade disks images or can easily create a disk image and would like an easy way to just boot these images. I know isolinux does this and I vagely remember using it to make a bootable windows 95 cd back in the day. It worked to. It would be nice if I could just copy the disk image to a usbstick and use syslinux to boot

Then again, I suppose you could have a script in your init that detects when it has been booted from a *special* UUID. In such cases it goes to the first instance of a volume with that *special* UUID and re-writes it to a genuine UUID, as well as updates the syslinux configs on the volume. You could then create your seed image with that *special* UUID and then even an XP user could write it to a

(Sorry, Outlook webmail prohibits me from proper replying/quoting) >it has the nice effect that you can load the El Torito >CD-ROM driver. Which seems logical if you boot a kernel (like Linux, or Memdisk with an imagefile), but not when doing a local boot (diskette/harddisk) In other words: boot from cdrom, and if you then load a disk-image, eltorito.sys should load. If not loading a

Hey I had the same problem some time ago. But here is a solution how to do that, but it''s a bit tricky! REQUIREMENT: THE SYSTEM PARTITION ON THE IMAGE MUST BE THE FIRST PARTITION, AFTER THAT THERE MUST BE ONLY SWAP PARTITIONS!!!! This setup would work, there should be no risk at all: Partition 1 on the image: / Partition 2 on the image: swap space This setup WONT''T WORK, YOU

Hi, I was looking into the implementation of TailRecursionElimination, and noticed that we have the constrain that if any call uses a local, even though it doesn't capture the local, it would still prohibit TCE. This contain seems unnecessary and overly limiting? Relevant code is here:
