[Xen-users] Fwd: xl can't create and boot vm when with on hard disk assignment

[Tuan Pengfei <pengfeituan@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for reply, instead Âof placing files in a valid image, I make all of them available in the initramfs, and I load all the files when initrd, and when it boots up successfully, I get dmesg, it seems nothing wrong. When the guest can't boot, i found it freeze just at the end of launching kernel, without any error message. I think there should be something like resource conflicts, because sometimes, it freezes for minutes and at last successfully launches???

I am totally confused with this.

You specify root= option but doesn't provide a valid image, what do you
expect from the guest kernel?

Kernel log will be helpful.

You cannot use both xm and xl at the same time. I suggest you stick with
xl if you're using 4.3+ Xen.
