Hello, I am transferring a disk.img from one xen server to another. The original disk.img was used with Fedora Core 5. The new server has Fedora Core 6. I transferred the disk.img and the config file from the old server to the new one. Here is the output when I try to create the virtual machine. [root@xen4 xen]# xm create -c monitoring Using config file "./monitoring". Going to boot Fedora Core (2.6.18-1.2257.fc5xenU) kernel: /vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2257.fc5xenU initrd: /initrd-2.6.18-1.2257.fc5xenU.img Error: (22, ''Invalid argument'') I get the Error message above. Is there any way to get this up and working? Any suggestions appreciated.

I made further progress. Now when I do a xm create -c I get the choice of choosing FC6. I choose it however I do get this error: unmounting old /dev unmounting old /proc unmounting old /sys switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

The new problem is stated within my post after this one. If you can shine some light on that - let me know.

I found this page on the wiki: http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Fedora5Xen0DomU This is the problem I am having and did try to use this to solve the problem. It reads "and then specify /boot/$KERNEL-$DOMNAME.img as the ramdisk when booting $DOMNAME (either in the configuration file for $DOMNAME, or in the boot sequence in $DOMNAME -- in the latter case you''ll have to copy /boot/$KERNEL-$DOMNAME.img from Dom0 into $DOMNAME''s filesystem)" Here is my monitoring config file (monitoring is the DOMNAME) name = "monitoring" memory = "230" disk = [ ''file:/xen/disk.img,xvda,w'' ] vif = [ ''mac=00:16:3e:70:2b:0a'' ] uuid = "f15e7429-b109-0e66-f189-e3bab5a606bc" bootloader="/usr/bin/pygrub" ramdisk="/boot/2.6.19-1.2895.fc6xen-monitoring.img" on_reboot = ''restart'' on_crash = ''restart'' is this correct? I added the ramdisk part - not sure if that is correct according to the instructions.
