I''m trying to use a config for an unmodified vmx guest. I am using the
xmexample.vmx config as a template. Once I try to create the vmx guest I get an
error:
Error: Error creating domain: (11, ''Resource temporarily
unavailable'')
I tried to do some trouble shooting and started going through the config file an
commenting out lines starting from the top to see where this breaks. It looks
like it is breaking at the line that states "builder=vmx". I am
running a Open Suse 10 with a 2.6.13-15.8-xen kernel with the latest updates. I
have successfully ran a guest that was created by directly installing to an
image file using the tools in SUSE. Appriciate any help. Thanks.
