when i run xm create centos.5-0.xen3.cfg -c i get the boot output from the
machine, but it doesn''t actually go to completion, as i get this error:
XENBUS: Device with no driver: device/vbd/2049
XENBUS: Device with no driver: device/vbd/2050
XENBUS: Device with no driver: device/vif/0
md: Autodetecting RAID arrays.
md: autorun ...
md: ... autorun DONE.
VFS: Cannot open root device "sda1" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
unknown-block(0,0)
the .cfg looks like this:
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.el5xen"
memory = 256
name = "centos.5-0"
vif = [ '''' ]
dhcp = "dhcp"
disk = [''file:/xen/centos/centos.5-0.img,sda1,w'',
''file:/xen/centos/centos.swap,sda2,w'']
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"
I have seen some people with their root = option set to a /dev/hda1, but
when i run that in the config it gives the same error but with hda1
any ideas?

Re: [Xen-users] jailtime machine doesn''t boot. root=
You might have to use a ramdisk to boot the guest properly. It can be specified by passing "ramdisk = <name>" in the guest configuration file. --Sadique Vincent wrote:> when i run xm create centos.5-0.xen3.cfg -c i get the boot output from > the machine, but it doesn''t actually go to completion, as i get this > error: > > XENBUS: Device with no driver: device/vbd/2049 > XENBUS: Device with no driver: device/vbd/2050 > XENBUS: Device with no driver: device/vif/0 > md: Autodetecting RAID arrays. > md: autorun ... > md: ... autorun DONE. > VFS: Cannot open root device "sda1" or unknown-block(0,0) > Please append a correct "root=" boot option > Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on > unknown-block(0,0) > > the .cfg looks like this: > kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.el5xen" > memory = 256 > name = "centos.5-0 " > vif = [ '''' ] > dhcp = "dhcp" > disk = [''file:/xen/centos/centos.5-0.img,sda1,w'', > ''file:/xen/centos/centos.swap,sda2,w''] > root = "/dev/sda1 ro" > > I have seen some people with their root = option set to a /dev/hda1, > but when i run that in the config it gives the same error but with hda1 > > any ideas? > > > > -- > Vincent Grato > vgrato@gmail.com <mailto:vgrato@gmail.com> > cell: (760) 443-1389 > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > Xen-users mailing list > Xen-users@lists.xensource.com > http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users_______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
ok, if i am allowed to just use the initrd that i found with locate this is
my new .cfg:
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.el5xen"
ramdisk="/boot/initrd-2.6.18-8.el5xen.img"
memory = 2560
name = "centos.5-0"
vif = [ '''' ]
dhcp = "dhcp"
disk = [''file:/xen/centos/centos.5-0.img,hda1,w'',
''file:/xen/centos/centos.swap,hda2,w'']
root = "/dev/hda1 rw"
and this is the error i am getting now:
Waiting for driver initialization.

i am actually trying to not use separate partitions, i am trying to do this
all within a .iso that the host has in it''s file system. Are the
jailtime
images not set up to do that?
