Debian Dom0, CentOS 5/Fedora PV Domu doing network install.
The anaconda gets started.. but on the partitioning screen.. the xvda device is
not listed. Also, when I try to savevm, it fails with xc_save 4 45 0 0 0.
But when I do xm list -l for the domain. It does show the device.
(device
(tap
(uname tap:aio:/var/cache/convirt/vm_disks/cent_pv_test.disk.xm)
(uuid 4fdace3f-5a1c-662f-5b62-7e52f625903a)
(mode w)
(dev xvda:disk)
(backend 0)
(bootable 1)
(VDI )
)
Any ideas.. ,suggestions on resolving these issues..
Thanks
/Jd

It''s a long shot, but perhaps selinux is preventing xen to access /var/cache/convirt. Try looking at /var/log/messages for syslinux errors, or try running "setenforce 0" and see if it helps.

Hi Fajar Thanks for responding.. Nothing in /var/log/messages. I do not have setenforce command, so it I am assuming that seLinux is not installed. And from the following url, it seems SELinux is not enabled/installed by default. http://wiki.debian.org/SELinux Thanks /Jd --- On Tue, 2/3/09, Fajar A.

Sorry ''bout that. Does Debian have tap:aio? I seem to recall some users reporting problem with that. I''ve also read that when using Debian/Ubuntu dom0 It''d be better to compile your own Xen. This is just from the top of my head though, so I could be wrong. Try creating xen config file manually, replacing tap:aio:/ with file:/ and see if it works.

While the other HVM works fine. The difference... one of them is having 2GB disk(working).. other one 4 GB (not working)Is this 4GB-disk new, or is it a 2GB-disk extended with dd? _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
