Re: [Xen-users] Problem with creating domU

I am tring to create domU (being booted into dom0). I have created the file /vm1disk and populated it with the relevant directories of installed Linux (the same Linux which I have on dom0). I have started the xend daemon and it has started mormally (I have checked the /var/log/xend.log).
I have also connected the loop1 loop device to the vm1disk file:
"losetup /dev/loop0 /path/to/file".

Then I have created the following conf file (/etc/xen/vm1conf):

==============begin=======================
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11-xenU"
memory = 128
name = "alpha"
nics=1

#disk = [ 'phy:sda5,sda1,w' ]
#disk = [ 'file:/vm1disk, sda1,w' ]
disk = [ 'phy:loop1, sda1 ,w' ]

root = "/dev/sda1 ro"
extra = "3"
===============end======================

When I am issuing the following command:
"xm create /etc/xen/vm1conf -c",
it dies with:
'Using config file "/etc/xen/vm1conf".
Error: Error creating domain: vbd: Device not found:  sda1'

I am getting the same error when I use "disk = [ 'file:/vm1disk, sda1,w' ]"


Arsen,

you don't have to mount or losetup anything. In fact it will cause Xen to not start the domain.

Your "file" line looks okay, except you should eliminate the blank before sda1 (syntax problem?). Also check that /etc/fstab in your guest-image specifies sda1 as the root device.

Bye,

Andrej
