[Xen-users] ttylinux and Error creating domain: vbd: Segment not found - newbie
Hello, It could be that I did something silly ; I am quite a newbie to xen. I am trying to use the ttylinux example according to the docs. Here are the steps I had performed: I had booted into xen (I am using xen-testing-2.0). running uname -a shows : 2.6.11-xen0. I had started X windows. I had downloaded the ttylinux-xen.bz2 from bz2 I had unzipped it: a file named ttylinux-xen was created (16M). I had created a directory named /root/ttylinux I had moved the ttylinux-xen to /root/ttylinux. I had created a directory named /root/ttylinux/mnt I had mounted it on a loop device thus: mount -o loop ttylinux-xen mnt and it succeeded. I had changed /etc/xen/xmexample1 so now it includes the following: disk = [''file:/root/ttylinux/mnt,sda1,w''] root = "/dev/sda1 ro" I try: xm create /etc/xen/xmexample1 And I get: Error: **Error creating domain: vbd: Segment not found: uname=file:/root/ttylinux/mnt ls /root/ttylinux/mnt gives: bin dev home lost+found proc sbin tmp var boot etc lib mnt root sys usr what did I do wrong?

Are you supposed to mount the filesystem under dom0 before you start ttylinux? Iwas under the impression that a situation like that would create a conflict. And you are not pointing xen to a directory and not a file.
