[Xen-users] Can't start Ubuntu 8.04 domU, getting kernel panic.

["Rudi Ahlers" <rudiahlers@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get Ubuntu 8.04 working, on my CentOS 5.2 machine, but keep getting a kernel error when I start the VM.

I've downloaded the Ubuntu 8.04 image from http://www.jailtime.net, then extracted it, mounted and tarred it, to create a HyperVM image. HyperVM then went ahead and created the VM for me, but it doesn't bootup.

So, I logged into the server via SSH, and booted it manually, with xm create -c /home/xen/ubuntu.vm/ubuntu.vm.cfg - and saw the following:

EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
Setting up other filesystems.
Setting up new root fs
setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory
no fstab.sys, mounting internal defaults

setuproot: error mounting /proc: No such file or directory
setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such file or directory
Switching to new root and running init.
unmounting old /dev
unmounting old /proc
unmounting old /sys

ERROR opening /dev/console: No such file or directory
Trying to use fd 0 instead.
WARNING: can't access (null)
exec of init ((null)) failed!!!: Bad address
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

Does anyone know how to get it working?
