[Xen-users] Trouble booting DomU on Centos 5.2 (x86_64)
Hi,
I am trying to create a DomU that is a clone of the host. I am using
CentOS 5.2 with virtualization enabled . The steps I am following are
as documented in
http://www.virtuatopia.com/index.php/Building_a_Xen_Virtual_Guest_Filesystem_on_a_Disk_Image_(Cloning_Host_System)
Everything is x86_64.
The only things I have changed are as follows:
1: I am unmounting /tmp/loop which is the root file system XenGuest.img
Note that the /boot is not copied into the Guest FS. But I also tried
copying it in but no luck.
The problem:
-- DomU does not boot.
I am getting the following error:
-----------
device-mapper: ioctl: 4.11.5-ioctl (2007-12-12) initialised: dm-devel@redhat.com
kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds
EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
----------------
I have tried :
--Creating a new initrd with xenblk and xennet included and preloaded
and omitting scsi, raid and lvm modules.
Tried variations of this in Dom0
#mkinitrd --omit-scsi-modules --with=xennet --with=xenblk
--preload=xenblk initrd-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)
(also tried without raid and lvm modules)
I am using the same kernel and initrd from Dom0. i.e. the kernel it
came with 2.6.18-92.el5xen. When I make a new initrd, it is in Dom0.
-- Do I need to copy the /boot into the root file system of DomU or do
makinitrd on DomU ?
-- Do I need a new kernel?
I extracted initrd and xenblk seems to be present.
----------------------------------
My config file for the VM is:
kernel = ''/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.el5xen''
ramdisk = ''/boot/initrd-2.6.18-92.el5xen-no-scsi-1.img''
memory = 512
name = ''Xen1''
vif = [ '''' ]
dhcp = ''dhcp''
disk = [''tap:aio:/xen/XenGuest1.img,xvda1,w'',
''tap:aio:/xen/XenGuest1.swap,xvda2,w'']
root = ''/dev/xvda1 ro''
extra=''xencons=tty''
on_poweroff = ''destroy''
on_reboot = ''restart''
on_crash = ''restart''
All my googling seems to indicate that I need a new initrd with xenblk
and no scsi but this does not seem to work. I also replaced "tap:aio"
with "file" but no joy.
If there is anything I can try, please let me know. Any help/pointers
will be much appreciated. The archives also indicate this is usually
an initrd issue.
Thanks,
vns
