Hi Everyone!
I''m trying to make a diskless xen installation using sarge with
xen-hypervisor-3.0-i386, linux-image-2.6.16-2-xen-686 and initrd from
linux-image-2.6.16-2-686-smp (is there no initrd for
linux-image-2.6.16-2-xen-686 ?) with additional modules of 2.6.16-2-xen-686.
Initrd is modified to load network+nbd modules and start nbd-client.
Nbd-module loads fine and a straced nbd-client shows normal behaviour (after
start control is transfered to kernel, nbd-server on the storage serving host
prints message about connection) but mount of /dev/nd0 to /root says
''no such device'' :(. If linux-image-2.6.16-2-686-smp is used
with the same initrd it boots ok. I''m unable to see any differance
except the {,non}function.
I''ve searched the net for info but found only in
http://www.linode.com/xen/irc/logs/xen.log-2005-09-27 someone (jacobg)
mentioning he had done it in the past. This isn''t the first nbd-root
installation I''ve made but it is the first time /dev/nd0 is
nonfunctional after nbd-client starts without error. So it seems to me
xen+kernel <-> nbd have a problem with each other :).
MAYDAY, MAYDAY ...
Any thoughts, infos or pointers to are appreciated.
TIA, Pyrokar
