Hi Can someone confirm if its possible to boot of a udf image/dvd? If so what do I need to change in the file below? All my windows OS images are on DVD as part of my msdn subscription. In this instance I''ve copied the image to Dom0 file system, but have tried physically from the dvd also. Here is my disk definition line: disk=[''file:/home/glenn/windows2003.img,ioemu:hda,w'',''file:/home/glenn/winosdvd.img,dvd,r''] but complete file is shown below. The result of xm create is that ata0 slave is an unknown device, CDROM boot failure code 0002 #Complete file for this HVM.... kernel = "/usr/lib/xen-ioemu-3.0/boot/hvmloader" builder=''hvm'' memory=1024 name = "Windows2003Server" vcpus = 1 vif = [''bridge=xenbr0''] disk=[''file:/home/glenn/windows2003.img,ioemu:hda,w'',''file:/home/glenn/winosdvd.img,dvd,r''] device_model=''/usr/lib/xen-ioemu-3.0/bin/qemu-dm'' boot=''d'' fullscreen=0 sdl=1 vnc=0 vncviewer=0 serial=''pty'' ne2000=0 usb=1 usbdevice=''tablet'' Thanks Glenn _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
''file:/home/glenn/winosdvd.img,dvd,r'' ^^^^^ change above to hdc:dvd that should be enough as long as you have the dvd as an iso cd /home/glenn dd if=/dev/dvd of=winosdvd.img its not enough to copy the dvd to the drive it must be an iso9660 file type -- Mark Glenn Davy <glenn@tangelosoftware.net> wrote: Hi Can someone confirm if its possible to boot of a udf image/dvd?

Its a UDF file system... i''ll have to investigate and try an find away to convert a udf system to a bootable iso9660 thanks Glenn _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I can now > see the drive, in > the device listing at bootAlthough I''ve used "...,hdc:cdrom,r", I have managed to get Windows Vista from a UDF to boot/install without a problem [although it requires a reasonably recent version of Xen unstable/3.0.5 RCx to work on AMD processor]. I''d guess that the other problem is that you''re trying to export a PARTITION rather than a DISK to the guest - it needs to see a disk, so your "/dev/sda1,sda1,w" should be "/dev/sda1,sda,w" [or per haps hda instead of sda, as I''m not sure if SCSI disks work for ioemulation]. -- Mats> > > > > that should be enough as long as you have the dvd as an iso > > > > cd /home/glenn > > dd if=/dev/dvd of=winosdvd.img > > > > its not enough to copy the dvd to the drive it must be an > iso9660 file type > > and you predicted this problem correctly.
