Thanks you all guys. I am able to create the RHEL5 PVM on RHEL5 host
successfully. Only thing that i need to add is /mnt/etc/fstab in inintrd
command and preload to both the fronthend drivers.
As blow.
# mount /home/disk /mnt
# mkinirtd /boot//boot/initrd-2.6.18-8.el5xenU.img 2.6.18-8.el5xen --fstab
/mnt/
etc/fstab --with xenblk --with xennet --preload xenblk --preload xennet
Thanks a lot,
Trilok
