  • Thread-topic: Converting Debian Lenny HVM DomU to PV on Lenny Dom0 - PV DomU hangs during boot

Hi guys,

maybe I'm too sleep deprived or just dumb, but can't get it working (using 
standard Lenny Xen 3.2.1 and Xen kernel 2.6.26-2-xen-amd64 - will move to 
another later) :(. 

Steps (inspiration taken from 
http://www.asplund.nu/xencluster/xen-convert-hvm-to-pvm.html):

1. Created HVM Debian Lenny amd64 DomU with img file as hda (standard netinst 
installation without LVM and with everything in /). 
2. Installed Debian xen kernel in this DomU via aptitude.
3. Created two LVMs in Dom0 for the PV (one with ext3 for / and second one for 
swap)
4. rsynced everything from / of HVM DomU from the hda img file to the ext3 LVM 
(using losetup and kpartx)
5. changed /etc/fstab in the LVM to xvda1 and xvda2
6. Created PV DomU  and experienced  hang during boot (see attached txt logs - 
boot log and PV cfg file)

Bad initrd? 

Many thanks for your help.

Regards

Matej
