I installed the Xen-3.3.0 rpms from the gitco repo today on a new CentOS 5.2 machine. I'm using only pv-CentOS guests and everything works just fine as it did with Xen 3.2. (e.g. xm create and my domU starts with pygrub just fine). However, I see that pygrub is deprecated and that I should move to pv-grub. But I don't get this running. I read the README in /etc/xen, the xmexample.pv-grub and also a few threads about pv-grub, for instance http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2008-08/msg00978.html and the blog post at http://blog.xen.org/index.php/2008/08/28/xen-33- feature-pv-grub/ (which isn't really helpful as it is only a general overview). Whatever I do the domU just boots into the grubdom prompt and that's it. If I try to specify a kernel I get this: grubdom> kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.1.22.el5xen Error 5: Partition table invalid or corrupt Of course, there is no partition table. A single partition doesn't have a partition table. What am I supposed to hand over here? The path as it appears to the dom0 system? That's the xm config file I use, very simple and straight-forward. I added the kernel, extra and root lines one by one following the xmexample.pv- grub file. No difference. domU starts fine if I use pygrub and comment those three extra lines. name = "dxx" maxmem = 512 memory = 512 vcpus = 1 #bootloader = "/usr/bin/pygrub" kernel="/usr/lib/xen/boot/pv-grub-x86_32.gz" extra = "(hd0,0)/boot/grub/grub.conf" root = "/dev/sda1 ro" on_poweroff = "destroy" on_reboot = "restart" on_crash = "restart" disk = [ "phy:/dev/dom0/dxx,sda1,w", "phy:/dev/dom0/dxx-var,sda2,w", "file:/home2/swap/dxx.swap,sda3,w"] vif = [ "mac=00:16:3e:43:20:10" ] Thanks for any help.
