[Xen-users] domU image with "VmError: Invalid mode" information
Hi,
I am trying to use domU image in my Xen system.
My domU configuration file "xmdomU"is as following:
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen"
ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img"
memory = 256
name = "ExampleDomain01"
vif = [ '''' ]
disk = [ ''tap:aio:/srv/xenimage/XenGuest1.img, xvda1, w'',
''tap:aio:/srv/xenimage/XenGuest1.swap,xvda2,w'' ]
root = "/dev/xvda1 ro"
extra = "4"
extra = "xencons=tty"
When I run:
# xm create xmdomU
Using config file "./xmdomU"
Error: Invalid mode
I am not quite sure what this means. Went to /var/log/xen and in xend.log
got following information:
[2009-07-12 16:05:26 19154] ERROR (XendDomainInfo:97) Domain construction

Traceback (most recent call last):

I am very appreciated if you could give some hints!!
