[Xen-users] Problems installing a virtual machine

["Pedro Rafael Alves Simoes" <pedro.a.simoes@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I'm having problems creating virtual machines with Xen. I've followed this tutorial to install Xen and it's virtual domains: http://www.howtoforge.com/debian_etch_xen_3.1. Well, it didn't work. The Dom-0 seems to be ok, but the xen-create-image is not running quite well. This is my command:

xen-create-image --verbose --size=2000M --swap=256M --ide --lvm=virtua --hostname=vm01 --memory=128M --kernel=/boot/vmlinuz- 2.6.18-xen --debootstrap --dist=etch --ip=192.168.0.101 --netmask=255.255.255.0 --gateway=192.168.0.1 --arch=i386 –passwd  

I created the LVM group with the following commands:

pvcreate /dev/sda3

vgcreate virtua /dev/sda3

 

This is the full output from the xen-create-image:

There are various commands missing. Then, when I do "xm create /etc/xen/vm01.cfg", the output shows errors like this:

I'm using Xen 3.1.0 and Debian 4.0.

 

Any help?
