[Xen-users] Error while booting a PV guest from an Image file
I created a PV guest on an Image file. The configuration file is ======================================================kernel = "/home/venkat/RHEL_PV_Image/vmlinuz" ramdisk = "/home/venkat/RHEL_PV_Image/initrd.img" memory = 512 name = "RHEL-domu" vif = [ '''' ] dhcp = "" disk = [ ''file:/var/lib/xen/images/Rhel-domU.img,xvda,w''] ====================================================== Vmlinuz and initrd images are taken from the images/xen folder inside the installation CD. I assume these two files will have PV drivers enabled kernel and isolinux/ directory will have unmodified vmlinuz and initrd images. I used http as installation media. This configuration file successfully installs the PV guest on the Rhel-domU.img image file using "xm create configfile". Now I need to boot my PV guest from the Rhel-domU.img image file. For that I changed the configuration file as =======================================================bootloader = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/domUloader.py" bootargs = "--entry=xvda1:/boot/vmlinuz-xen,/boot/initrd-xen.img" memory = 512 name = "RHEL-domu" vif = [ '''' ] dhcp = "" disk = [ ''file:/var/lib/xen/images/Rhel-domU.img,xvda,w''] boot = "c" =======================================================I added boot parameter and mentioned "c" option so that it boots from harddisk (this case it is a image file). I get the following error while doing it. Using config file "./Redhatconfig". : No such file or directory I did the same with the HVM guest and used hvmloader instead of domUloader and it worked fine. I reckon that the bootargs that are provided are wrong. Any idea about the error message? Venkat ===============================Venkata Kumar Duvvuru, LSI Engenio, Adv. Development, Bangalore.
