Re: [Xen-users] fresh xcp 1.6 & xenserver install fails on first boot (kernel not found).



Interesting – I don’t have a grub.cfg

I’ve reinstalled – I still don’t have one. Xcp1.6 and xenserver produce seem to have the same result.

Is there another location where a backup might be stored? Currently I’m trying to rebuild one based on what I see from yours, and what I see in the /boot folder.

I’m not sure how to figure out the root UUID but that’s what I’m working on.

 

Thanks Jacek!

You stated that the error you are getting is  "Could not find kernel image" if you are missing a driver for hard drive controler you would get error message that states could not find root partition.

look into /boot see what files are there and then edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg

on mine install of centos 6.4 xcp grub.cfg was pointing to / instead of /boot 

Mine grub.cfg is 

    multiboot /boot/xen-4.4-unstable.gz dom0_mem=1024M,max:1024M loglvl=all guest_loglvl=all elevator=noop iommu=0 cpufreq=dom0-kernel cpuidle

    module /boot/vmlinuz-linux-xen  root=UUID=4f7314c5-fa15-4b3e-9c37-2543f9f26ab6 ro  iommu=no-intremap  quiet

    module /boot/initramfs-linux-xen.img

Do you know what the correct setting is? Presumably i could correct that from the rescue boot.
 
I was able to reproduce the issue with the latest xenserver install disk as well - so I suspect Errol is on the right track - there might be a driver in the bootable iso which is missing from the installed boot process.
 
I just need to know how to identify that & fix it.
 
The intel scrs16 seems to be an lsi megaraid with intel brand.
 
I can read the installed gpt partition both in xenserver / advanced /shell bot & other rescue options so it seems to work until the installed bootloader process tries to access it.
 
That seems to be where the missing link is?
 
Thanks!

I belive there Is a bug in xcp centos 6.4 were xen.tar.gz is pointing to wrong folder. I had to correct  menu entry to add /boot If I was you I would either boot from rescue disk and check that grub2 config file is pointing to right files and location or edit grub at boot time. I believe xcp is really  buggy when I played with it there was no way to create lvm based storage pool.

That's true - hadn't thought of it in working days tobe honest owing to how big I'd presumed the community was - with time shifts and so on :-) but good point. Thanks Ian!

I think you might need to be a bit more patient than that, you've given
the forums ~1 working day (posted Thursday evening) and the xen-api list
no working days at all (posted yesterday/Saturday).

Ian.
