Re: [Xen-users] New user question...

Thanks Mark ,but still couldnt get thro'

this is what i did

[root@localhost Desktop]# bzcat ttylinux-xen.bz2 >ttylinux

[root@localhost Desktop]# rm -rf /tftpboot/

[root@localhost Desktop]# cp ttylinux tftpboot/

My stripped conf file looks like this:

kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4xenU"

memory = 64

name = "ttylinux1"

nics = 1

ip = "1.2.3.4"

disk = ['file:/tftpboot/ttylinux,sda1,w']

root = "/dev/sda1 ro"

I dont have a /dev/sda1 partition in my harddisk (the only partition which is is a root partition is /dev/hda6 which holds the FC4 install I am using as dom0 , am i being dumb in not understanding that the root fs has to be a real partition having all the files or /dev/sda1 will do ???..please explain the difference between disk and root..

when i say:

[root@localhost ~]# xm create ttyconf1 -c

Using config file "/etc/xen/ttyconf1".

Started domain ttylinux1, console on port 9616
