hello,
I am using fc4 image from http://jailtime.org/download:fedora:fc4 on fc5 with xen. however when I run "xm create fedora.fc4.xen.cfg -c", the boot sequence hangs at "Freeing unused kernel memory:". my cfg is:
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2080_FC5xenU" memory = 128 name = "fedora.fc4" vif = [''] dhcp = "dhcp" disk = ['file:/xen/fedora/fedora.fc4.img,sda1,w', 'file:/xen/fedora/fedora.swap,sda2,w'] root = "/dev/sda1 ro"
I found this about the problem:
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenFaq#head-ea8b39d71e49cc16d287257de4c482...
however I checked for the devs and they are there:
mount -o loop fedora.fc4.img /mnt/ ls -alh /mnt/dev/ total 8.0K drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Sep 22 2005 . drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 4.0K Feb 10 08:07 .. crw------- 1 root root 5, 1 Sep 22 2005 console prw------- 1 root root 0 Apr 27 2005 initctl crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 Sep 22 2005 null crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 5, 0 Sep 22 2005 tty crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 5 Sep 22 2005 zero
Also the lines
[2006-04-05 00:29:27 xend] DEBUG (blkif:24) exception looking up device number for sda2: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/dev/sda2'
and
[2006-04-05 00:29:27 xend] DEBUG (blkif:24) exception looking up device number for sda1: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/dev/sda1'
are interesting since all files are in place.
Any ideas?
have a nice day.
