Hi all, a newbie question; I''m trying to install lenny guest image on
my lenny Dom0 by following the http://wiki.debian.org/Xen:
xm create -c xm-debian.cfg install=true
install-mirror=ftp://ftp.XX.debian.org/debian
i created image using dd, format is ext3 (cfg file). disk is defined as:
disk = [''tap:aio:/xen/images/xen-lenny-image.img,xvda,w'']
once i start the installation everything looks good until the point where
i''m asked to specify disk driver?
which driver to use as guest image is a file? tried virtio_blk but
didn''t work.
any help is appreciated as this is a show stopper for me.
thanks

Is the debian supplied domU config doing the downloading or have you tweaked it to supply your own kernel? If all else fails, download the initrd/kernel from a mirror yourself and make a much simpler one-use install configuration. I''m fairly certain the above is your problem, but for future reference: virtio_blk is for kvm; the xen disk driver is usually called xen-blkfront. -s _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
