Hi There, I have my debian sarge dom0 on a IBM xSeries 206 with a SATA
drive (seen as /dev/sda) working just peachy with the xen 3.0.1
packages from http://packages.debianbase.de/. I have followed the
instructions for creating a debian domU from these sources:

http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/DebianDomU
http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_xen3_debian_p4

This is now my current domU config file:

name="dev-domU"
kernel="/boot/xen-linux-2.6.12.6-xen"
root="/dev/hda1"
memory=512
disk=[ 'phy:/dev/xenvg/domu1,hda1,w',
      'phy:/dev/xenvg/domu1-swap,hda2,w' ]
vif=[ '' ]
dhcp="off"
ip="192.168.1.100"
netmask="255.255.255.0"
gateway="192.168.1.254"
hostname="dev"
#extra="3"

When i create the domU, there is no network and im having issues as
per below... looking at the boot process, im getting this:

Kernel command line:
ip=192.168.1.100:1.2.3.4:192.168.1.254:255.255.255.0:dev:eth0:off
root=/dev/hda1

and
modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting rtc
(/lib/modules/2.6.12.6-xen/kernel/drivers/char/rtc.ko): Input/output
error

Here are the full outputs: http://gremin.orcon.net.nz/

If someone could take a look and point me in the correct direction on
this one. We are trying to migrate our current dev platform to
seperate xen domU's for apache/mysql/ftp etc as the first steps in
consolidating our production platform to xen in the future.

Thanks, Simon
