[Xen-users] having trouble booting Xen-3.1 on X86_64 Fedora Core 8 install
Hi:
Any hints/pointers welcome. I am very new to Xen, I have a AMD "AMD
Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4000+" based system on which I am
running X86_64 Fedora Core 8. I have installed Xen-3.1 on it, but I
can''t get Xen to boot. It seems unable to find the root volume, the
kernel panics and reboots immediately so I can''t capture or write down
anything and I can''t seem to find a log anywhere in /var/log that would
capture the failed boot sequence. I have a SATA drive.
My grub.conf file is:
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,2)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Xen 3.1 / XenLinux 2.6
kernel /boot/xen-3.1.gz console=vga
module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xen root=LABEL=/1 ro console=tty0 # have
also tried root=/dev/sda3, no luck.
title Fedora (2.6.23.9-85.fc8)
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.23.9-85.fc8 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.23.9-85.fc8.img
title Fedora (2.6.23.1-42.fc8)
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.23.1-42.fc8 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.23.1-42.fc8.img
title Other
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
chainloader +1
[root@zadapi1L log]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 20G 3.0G 17G 16% /
/dev/sda5 95G 211M 90G 1% /home
tmpfs 470M 24K 470M 1% /dev/shm
Again, any hints or pointers to document sections of grub or Xen welcomed.
Gautam

You are missing the initrd module line in your XEN stanza... On Jan 15, 2008 9:04 AM, <gthaker@comcast.net> wrote:> Hi: > > Any hints/pointers welcome.

I have installed Xen-3.1 on it, but I can''t get Xen to boot.Why not use Fedora 8''s Xen? It comes with Xen-3.1, and using distro''s Xen will save a lot of trouble.
