Re: [Xen-users] Converting Debian Lenny HVM DomU to PV on Lenny Dom0 - PV DomU hangs during boot



You need to add /dev/hvc0 to your /etc/inittab as a console.

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
