Xen users - Dec 2006 - Booting Fedora Core 6 domU from Fedora Core 6 dom0.

Hi All,

        I have installed Fedora Core 6 on /dev/hda1 and also on /dev/hda2
and swap on /dev/hda3.

        I boot in the FC6 XEN kernel installed in /dev/hda1. However while
trying to access the FC6 domU in /dev/hda2, it fails to boot into it and
exits out cleanly. Did anybody get this combination working?

        My /etc/xen/fc6 file is as follows:
                 kernel = ''/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6xen''
                 ramdisk = ''/boot/initrd-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6xen''
                 memory = 200
                 name = ''fc6guest''
                 disk = [''phy:hda2,hda2,w'',
''phy:hda3,hda3,w'']
                 root = ''/dev/hda2 ro''
                 vif = ['''']

        I also tried out using pygrub. Here it exited with the error
message:
                Error: (22, ''invalid argument'')
       The config file was as follows:
                 name = ''fc6guest''
                 memory = 200
                 bootloader = ''/usr/bin/pygrub''
                 disk = [''phy:hda2,hda2,w'',
''phy:hda3,hda3,w'']
                 root = ''/dev/hda2 ro''
                 vif = ['''']

        I did get Debian to work when it was both domU and dom0 with similar
configuration but without pygrub.


Thanks,
Chirag
