Hi all,
Somebody have tried to install SLES 10 SP1 as a para-virtualized guest
under a RHEL 5.1 xenhost?? I have do it a clean install of SLES 10 SP1,
but when installation is finished and I want to start sles guest, pygrub
returns me this error:
xm create /etc/xen/slesips
Using config file "/etc/xen/slesips".
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pygrub", line 651, in ?
fs = fsimage.open(file, get_fs_offset(file))
File "/usr/bin/pygrub", line 117, in get_fs_offset
offset += get_solaris_slice(file, offset)
File "/usr/bin/pygrub", line 80, in get_solaris_slice
raise RuntimeError, "Invalid disklabel magic"
RuntimeError: Invalid disklabel magic
No handlers could be found for logger "xend"
Error: Boot loader didn''t return any data!
Usage: xm create <ConfigFile> [options] [vars]
My cfg file for sles guest is:
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16.46-0.12-xenpae"
ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-2.6.16.46-0.12-xenpae"
bootloader = "/usr/bin/pygrub"
name = "Sles10"
memory = "512"
maxmem = "512"
disk = [ ''phy:/dev/xvmvol/slesips01vol,xvda,w'' ]
vif = [ ''mac=00:16:3e:55:ad:13, bridge=xenbr0'' ]
vcpus = 1
on_reboot = ''restart''
on_crash = ''destroy''
sdl = 1
vnc = 0
Kernel version 2.6.16.46 is the default installed by sles ...
Many thanks.

Your cfg file has both, and (from the error log) pygrub is active. Depending on how you install your domU : - you should have /boot/grub/menu.lst on domU''s filesystem, in which case you should use grub and comment out the kernel and ramdisk line, OR - Copy SLES''s kernel and initrd to dom0 (in your config that will be /boot), and try comment out the bootloader line.

That''s new. I didn''t expect that. RHEL PV install seems to work just fine using default options. Thanks for the info. I''d still recommend you remove kernel and ramdisk from cfg file though, seeing as they''re not used anyway.

The grub installation for RHEL 5 DomU''s seems to operate quite happily on the /boot partition or on a / partition itself. Many of us do put the MBR on the start of the first partiton as a default, but it''s not strictly required. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
