I''m installing a new domU with Fedora Core 7 operating system on my Xen 3.1.0. I debootstrap Fedora Core 7 in the destination partition with rinse (www.xen-tools.org) and I configured the fedora7.cfg: kernel = ''/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-xenU'' memory = ''128'' root = ''/dev/sda1 ro'' disk = [ ''phy:vserver/fedora7-disk,sda1,w'', ''phy:vserver/fedora7-swap,sda2,w name = ''fedora7'' vif = [ ''vifname=fedora7, ip=192.168.1.141'' ] on_poweroff = ''destroy'' on_reboot = ''restart'' on_crash = ''restart'' I copied the "/lib/modules/2.6.18-xenU/" directory from the dom0 to the new domU. When I start the domU with "xen create" I get this error in the domU console: TCP bic registered Initializing IPsec netlink socket NET: Registered protocol family 1 NET: Registered protocol family 17 xen-vbd: registered block device major 8 blkfront: sda1: barriers enabled blkfront: sda2: barriers enabled netfront: device eth0 has copying receive path.

Commit interval 5 seconds EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly. Freeing unused kernel memory: 144k freed Warning: unable to open an initial console. Restarting system. What is the problem? Thank you very much! Bye. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
