[Xen-users] installing a new domU

[Fred Blaise <chapeaurouge@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all

I have a stupid question...

How do you actually install a new OS inside a new domainU ?
I assumed it'd be vmware like, meaning, given the following config:

kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-xenU"
memory = 512
name = "oes1"
disk = [ 'phy:vgdata/lv_xen_oes1,hda1,w' ]
disk = [ 'phy:md2,hda2,w' ]
dhcp="dhcp"
root = "/dev/hda1 ro"
extra = "4"

and starting it like 'xm create oes1 -c', the console opens, sees
nothing (lv_xen_oes1 is empty), it would prompt me to install the new
OS..

But since I get a
VFS: Cannot open root device "hda1" or unknown-block(2,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(2,0)

I am assuming there needs to be something on it before I start the
domain? In that case, how do I install a new OS inside that domain?

Thanks a lot for pointing me to relevant documentation, or answering
this stupid question.

fred
