[Xen-users] Ubuntu Dapper not mounting swap, other filesystems

[Alan Murrell <lists@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Xen Version: 2.0.7

I have created a DomU from "Ubuntu Server", version 6.06 ("Dapper").  It was 
originally installed under VMWare Player then the files rsynced to a loopback 
file on my Domain0.  I have done this before with Mandriva images with noe 
problem.

The problem I am having is that when my Ubuntu image boots, it boots just fine 
from the "root" image, but does not mount swap nor the seperate "home" images 
I have.  When it gets to mounting the "home" image in the boot process, it 
stops, saying that it could no read the block device, and to hit "Control-D" 
to continue.  Doing so completes the boot process with no further errors, 
except my "home" image is not mounted.  Swap is not running either.

I know there is nothing wrong with the swap and "home" images, because they 
mount just fine under a Mandriva 2006 DomU.

When I try to mount the "home" image from within the booted DomU (which is 
"/dev/hda6"), it tells me that it could not find '/dev/hda6'.  I get the same 
error when I issue the "swapon -a" command (except it references the swap 
partition, '/dev/hda1').  I have included my DomU configuration file below.

I seem to recall that there was an article mentioning something that needed to 
be done for Ubuntu to work properly with Xen, but I am unable to locate the 
article to see if it pertains to the issue I am currently having.

I have all the modules for the Xen kernel in the image, so that *shouldn't* be 
an issue.

Any ideas and thoughts on the matter greatly appreciated.

Thanks, in advance.
