So i successfully upgraded my Debian vm''s to Debian 6 on XCP 1.0, but when i try to install a new clean one it always fails. Why is this? The VM won''t even start, while i used the Debian 6 squeeze template. Is this even possible? Thanks, Peter _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Yeah i know that, and i know how to fix it on a upgraded Debian 5 to 6 (just remove the menu.lst) But this means you can never install a Debian 6 from template :-)?

Something about pygrub, so indeed i think it''s a grub2 issue. I would love to submit a patch but i wouldn''t know how to do that/help with that. The only thing i can do is help testing.. and that''s what i''m doing ;-)!

There is two source of problems: 1) ext4 (use ext3) 2) grub2 (during debian installation switch to expert mode and select ''grub-legacy'' to be used).

Okay so.. the best way to do it is to use grub1 or?

>From my experience most reliable way to boot guests regardless theirfilesystem state is using external kernel/initrd. Native kernel shall be simply uninstalled (as well, as grub/lilo) and modules shall be mounted as nfs share or shared VDI. Other way is using pvgrub, but it not supported by XCP.
