Xen Version: 2.0.7
I have created a DomU from "Ubuntu Server", version 6.06 ("Dapper"). It was
originally installed under VMWare Player then the files rsynced to a loopback
file on my Domain0. I have done this before with Mandriva images with noe
problem.
The problem I am having is that when my Ubuntu image boots, it boots just fine
from the "root" image, but does not mount swap nor the seperate "home" images
I have. When it gets to mounting the "home" image in the boot process, it
stops, saying that it could no read the block device, and to hit "Control-D"
to continue. Doing so completes the boot process with no further errors,
except my "home" image is not mounted. Swap is not running either.
I know there is nothing wrong with the swap and "home" images, because they
mount just fine under a Mandriva 2006 DomU.
When I try to mount the "home" image from within the booted DomU (which is
"/dev/hda6"), it tells me that it could not find '/dev/hda6'. I get the same
error when I issue the "swapon -a" command (except it references the swap
partition, '/dev/hda1'). I have included my DomU configuration file below.
I seem to recall that there was an article mentioning something that needed to
be done for Ubuntu to work properly with Xen, but I am unable to locate the
article to see if it pertains to the issue I am currently having.
I have all the modules for the Xen kernel in the image, so that *shouldn't* be
an issue.
Any ideas and thoughts on the matter greatly appreciated.
Thanks, in advance.
