similar to: Xen over SuSE 10.3 - Can''t find drive to boot with...

Hi, how can I install a openSuSE 10.3 PV-guest on a LVM-drive of a openSuSE 10.3 host with Xen 3.10? On 10.2 with Xen 3.0.3 the openSuSE-YaST-module for managing VMs could install the system also on block-devices, unfortunately this is not possible anymore with OSS 10.3 :-( What I have tried: - I created two LVM-partitions, one for "/" one for swap. - Installing an OSS 10.2 PV-guest

Suse 10.1 AMD64 Xen3 New to Xen. The dom0 is up and running. I am trying to get my first domU working. My approach is to use precompiled images from jailtime.org. After some manual tinkering with the .cfg file the domU proceeds to boot but stalls with the following error. I cannot get past this - any ideas ? Brian Using config file "/etc/xen/vm/vm1".

I have an F7 host that''s running the 2.6.20-2925.11.fc7xen 64-bit kernel on a Dell 2950 using the latest 64-bit Xen packages in F7, 3.1.0-2.f7. I''m trying to install RHEL 5 386 as a guest which I hear is possible. 64-bit RHEL5 isn''t available to use anyway. When I try to paravirtualize the install and only utilize 1 CPU, I always get a kernel oops right before the

I have a sles10sp3 vm that I''m trying to passthrough a scsi card, which has a DLT tape drive attached. Anyone doing anything similar? When I passthrough the scsi card (forced to do both ports), the vm dies when it loads, I think during udev. I''m viewing the vm through virt-manager, so I can''t scroll up and see what everything says. Is there a way to get the text xm

Hello, I just gain experiences in using XEN and hope you can help me. My hostsystem is Centos5 that I installed on a Software-Raid (Level 1). Afterwards I downloaded the debian-tarball from the jailtime.org website, extracted/mounted the image and copied the "*/lib/modules/*<kernelversion>"-folder from my host to the guest.
