Hello: I am trying to build a xen domain with 2 guest instances.(say xen1 and xen2) My Domain-0 comes up OK but whenever I do xm create xen1(my guest''s name) it takes a few minutes and then I get this (initramfs) prompt and basically all my directories (such as /etc) are almost empty so most of the commands do not work and so the guest xen machine is pretty unusable/useless!? Has anyone seen this before and know what to do? :confused: Here''s my xen2 config file: kernel = ''/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-21-xen'' ramdisk = ''/boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-21-xen'' memory = ''128'' name = "xen2" #cpus = "1" vcpus = 1 dummy0 = [ ''bridge=xenbr0'', ''bridge=dummy0'' ] root = "/dev/sdb1 ro" Thanks very much in advance! Oh BTW my xend-config.sxp file is as follows; (network-script network-dummy) (vif-script vif-bridge) (network-script network-nat) #(vif-script vif-nat) (dom0-min-mem 196) # If dom0-cpus = 0, dom0 will take all cpus available (dom0-cpus 0) #Thanks! :handshake: -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Xen-Problems-on-Ubuntu-Debian-i386%21--tp20482371p20482371.html Sent from the Xen - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Where''s your disk section on xen config file? If you don''t have one, you may want to add disk = [ ''phy:/dev/sdb1,xvda,w'' ] Change xvda to whatever disk device you''ve set on your host. For me, I use hda1. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info. I believe that is exactly the problem but some times when I change the config file I get errors and xen wont boot and other times it boots incomplete (initramfs)! Then the files that work (some one else already made) point to partitions that do not exist? I am not really sure what goes on!? Maresa wrote:> > > Where''s your disk section on xen config file?
