Hi, I was able to boot the Live CD, and play with xenctl command. Thanks for your excellent work! One current questions is that though I was able to create another second domain when Live CD bootstrapped, but it seems the initrd is the same ramdisk file used for domain0. The initrd image would detect the CDROM or NFSDIR for potentional root file system to mount on. Since CDROM has been used by domain0, it seems reasonable to find the output (when I start the new created domain) showing [8];Unable to find CD-ROM and NFSDIR not specified I have not tried NFSDIR for another domain. Any suggestions for running second domain based on LiveCD? Thanks! Xuxian Jiang --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Shopping - with improved product search

Any suggestions for running second domain based on LiveCD?You should be able to boot another domain from the CD, using the initrd to create a ramdisk as the root file system (populated from root.tar.gz), with the CDROM mounted as a read-only /usr.> [8];Unable to find CD-ROM and NFSDIR not specifiedThe above message suggests that it was unable to mount the CDROM for /usr. This is pretty odd, as if your domain0 image managed to find the CD, its very strange that domain1 couldn''t find it.>From domain0, please can you send me the output of "df", "mount""ls -l /dev/cdrom_link". Presumably you''re using the default /etc/xenctl.xml and /etc/xen-mynewdom script, and invoking xenctl with the following vommand line? xenctl script -f/etc/xen-mynewdom Thanks, Ian ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.

After that it worked. paul ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program. SourceForge.net hosts over 70,000 Open Source Projects.

The /etc/xen-mynewdom script grant access to the CDROM via the /dev/cdrom_link Best, Ian ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
