[Xen-users] guest domain not booting

[Marco La Rosa <mlarosa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I'm having problems booting a guest OS. I've used xen-2.0.6-src.tgz.

I've compiled a 2.6.11.10-xen0 kernel on both Ubuntu 5.04 and Debian
unstable using the stock debian .config files (for 2.6.11). Both of
these attempts worked and allow me to boot into dom0.

The problem is when I try to start a guest domain. LVM2 has been used to
create a root device and a swap device which have both been initialised
and set up (debian bootstrap used to create the root filesystem - all of
the necessary configuration of this guest OS has been done).  The 
xen config file is as follows:

#***********************************
#  -*- mode: python; -*-

kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11-xenU"
ramdisk = "/boot/initrd.img-2.6.11-xenU"
memory = 256
name = "dom01"
cpu = -1   # leave to Xen to pick
disk = [ 'phy:xen/dom01root,sda1,w',
         'phy:xen/dom01swap,sda2,w']
root = "/dev/sda1"
#************************************

I can start the xend service and query it:

> xm list
Name              Id  Mem(MB)  CPU  State  Time(s)  Console
Domain-0           0      123    0  r----     26.1

However, when I try to start the guest domain using:

xm create /etc/xen/dom01.conf -c

All i see is the following line of output:

Using config file "/etc/xen/dom01.conf".

And the machine locks up. I then have to power cycle it. No errors are
reported in any of the xen log files.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanx, Marco.
