hi xen cracks :-), everything works fine, booting of the squeeze box, starting of the xen 4.2 deamon, .... I have also defined the first xen guest, a debian 6.0.2 amd64, on a 100G lvm partition. when I start the guest, xl create server01.cfg, it starts the guest with the cdrom iso image attached which contains the debian squeeze 6.0.2 network setup. now, in the guest during the debian setup, it searches for a disk or partition but can''t find any. does anyone have a glue why is that? do I make a mistake in the xen guest script which is pasted bellow this email? I really appreciate any information''s, had several horrible nights behind me :-) thanks walter i have a xen installation: root@xxx:~# xm info host : xxx release : 2.6.39.2 version : #3 SMP Tue Jul 5 17:40:07 CEST 2011 machine : x86_64 nr_cpus : 4 nr_nodes : 1 cores_per_socket : 4 threads_per_core : 1 cpu_mhz : 2128 hw_caps : bfebfbff:20000800:00000000:00000940:0000e3bd:00000000:0 0000001:00000000 virt_caps : hvm total_memory : 8190 free_memory : 2070 free_cpus : 0 xen_major : 4 xen_minor : 2 xen_extra : -unstable xen_caps : xen-3.0-x86_64 xen-3.0-x86_32p hvm-3.0-x86_32 hvm-3.0-x 86_32p hvm-3.0-x86_64 xen_scheduler : credit xen_pagesize : 4096 platform_params : virt_start=0xffff800000000000 xen_changeset : Mon Jun 27 17:37:12 2011 +0100 23607:2f63562df1c4 xen_commandline : cc_compiler : gcc version 4.4.5 (Debian 4.4.5-8) cc_compile_by : root cc_compile_domain : xxx cc_compile_date : Tue Jul 5 02:55:54 CEST 2011 xend_config_format : 4 on a debian squeeze box, hp dl 160g5: 2.6.39.2 #3 SMP Tue Jul 5 17:40:07 CEST 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux 1 proc 2 x hd 250gb (16gb swap,234gb /) 2 x hd 2 tb (lvm for xen guests) 8gb ram root@xxx:~# lvdisplay --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/vgmain/lv_server01 VG Name vgmain LV UUID fBUAud-JrIE-1wqK-tWk7-mCPm-lcgZ-Iavp0Z LV Write Access read/write LV Status available # open 0 LV Size 100.00 GiB Current LE 25600 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors auto - currently set to 256 Block device 253:0 with the xen guest config script: name = ''server01'' kernel = ''hvmloader'' builder = ''hvm'' device_model = ''qemu-dm'' maxmem = 2048 memory = 2048 vcpus = 2 acpi = 1 apic = 1 vif = [''bridge=eth0''] disk [''phy:/dev/vgmain/lv_server01,xvda,w'',''tap:aio:/var/local/xen/debian602-amd6 4.iso,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,r''] boot = ''dc'' #usbdevice = ''tablet'' vnc = 1 vnclisten = ''0.0.0.0'' vncviewer = 1 sdl = 0 stdvga = 1 serial = ''pty'' ne2000 = "1" on_poweroff = ''destroy'' on_reboot = ''restart'' on_crash = ''restart'' _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

See http://xen.1045712.n5.nabble.com/Xen4-1-0-and-Fedora15-Block-device-bug-td4539767.html Short summary: try "xen_emul_unplug=never" (though I''m not sure how you can add that parameter during install process, ask Debian guys), and file a bug to Debian maintainters. -- Fajar _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
When you use hvmloader you have to use hda instead of xvda. Xvd* is the name for paravirt. block devices but it seems that you want to use full virtualization. Viele Grüße.
