Re: [Xen-users] problem with xm create

[elli_dberg@xxxxxx]

Hi Andreas,

I use xen 3.4.0 and here is the configuration file for my domU:

kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen"
ramdisk = "/boot/initrd.img-2.6.18.8-xen"
memory = 128
name = "virtualrouter1"
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, mac=00:16:3e:70:00:00, bridge=xenbr1, ip=10.0.1.1, 
script=vif-bridge',
        'type=ioemu, mac=00:16:3e:70:00:01, bridge=xenbr2, ip=10.0.2.1, 
script=vif-bridge',
        'type=ioemu, mac=00:16:3e:70:00:02, bridge=xenbr3, ip=10.23.100.13, 
script=vif-bridge']
root = "UUID=94a89174-ddca-4b8c-894c-bb3b7e0c62fa ro"
extra = "xencons=tty"
on_poweroff = 'destroy'
on_reboot   = 'restart'
on_crash    = 'restart'

I created this domU using LVM.

Thank you

Looks like a bigger problem. Could you post your Xen version number 
and the domU configuration file please?

PS: I'm always getting two equivalent mails from you?!! Please just 
do a "Reply to all", meaning you send exactly one mail to me with "
xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" as CC.

mean that the virtual machine cannot recognize the file system? I 
have a SATA hard drive and I am using the same kernel and setup as 
for dom0. I tried also specifying the root device as its UUID but 
didn't work neither. Do have any idea? Thank you Andreas Sommer <

shows you a running state ("r" for running or "b" for booting, "p" 
often means that an error occurred). I guess you might have forgotten 
the line extra = ''xencons=tty" so the domU seems to hang because it 
doesn't show the login prompt on the correct console. Compare to this
