[Xen-users] Cannot Install SLES9-SP4 Para DomU on SLES10-SP1 Dom0
We are trying to install a 32-bit SLES9-SP4 paravirtual machine on a 64-bit SLES10-SP1 Dom0 host from scratch. We have two problems: 1. The YaST2 VM creation tool fails to create a vm if a network card is selected. 2. The initial vm boots from the SLES9-SP4 iso file, but then complains it can''t find the installation source. Here is the /etc/xen/vm/file (after manually editing for a network card): ostype="sles9" name="mail2" memory=3192 vcpus=1 uuid="96cf02ef-525c-3099-5313-30b955c244d0" on_crash="destroy" on_poweroff="destroy" on_reboot="destroy" localtime=0 builder="linux" kernel="/tmp/kernel.bsPM-v" ramdisk="/tmp/install-initrd.smeCcF" extra=" install=hd:/dev/xvda " disk=[ ''file:/ISO_Files/SLES-9-SP4-CD-i386-GM-CD1.iso,xvda:cdrom,r'', ''phy:/dev/cciss/c0d0p7,xvdb,w'', ''file:/dev/cciss/c0dop6,xvdc,w'', ] vif = [ ] vfb=[''type=vnc,vncunused=1''] We have Googled mightily, to no avail. Any ideas? TIA, Mark -- _________________________________________________________ A Message From... L. Mark Stone Reliable Networks of Maine, LLC "Uptime.
