Re: [Xen-users] How to create a domU on RedHat Enterprise AS 4.4?



if you are using the partition-within-the-domU method that makes it difficult to mount it outside, make the problem domU the second disk in a good domU... you can boot the good domU and the mount the second disk and mess with it.

Hi,

I installed Xen 3.0.2 on RedHat Enterprise AS 4.4. Now I try to create domU
from dom0. I copied the whole filesystem of a RedHat to the logic volume
group (/dev/VG_Dom6_Linux/LogVol00) I created for domU. I then start the
domU kernel, however I got the following errors:

[...]

Checking root filesystem
[/sbin/fsck.ext3 (1) -- /] fsck.ext3 -a /dev/VG_Dom6_Linux/LogVol00
fsck.ext3: /dev/VG_Dom6_Linux/LogVol00:
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
    e2fsck -b 8193 <device>

No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/VG_Dom6_Linux/LogVol00
[FAILED]

[...]

Your DomU is trying to access logocal volume as root instrad of sda1.


Here is the content of my domU config file:
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xenU"
ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-2.6-xen.img"
memory = 512
name = "domain1"
extra = "3"
vif = [ 'bridge=xenbr0' ]
dhcp = "dhcp"
disk = ['phy:/dev/VG_Dom6_Linux/LogVol00,sda1,w' ]
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"

Check your DomU fstab.
