Hi,

I'm having trouble creating a guest domain. My config details are:

Fedora Core 6

kernel-xen-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.i686.rpm

kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.i686.rpm

xen-3.0.3-0.1.rc3.i386.rpm

xen-devel-3.0.3-0.1.rc3.i386.rpm

xen-libs-3.0.3-0.1.rc3.i386.rpm

The domain config file is:

kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen"

ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen.img"

memory = 128

name = "dom1"

vif = [ '' ]

disk = [ 'phy:sdc2,sdc2,w', 'phy:sdc3,sdc3,w' ]

root = "/dev/sdc2 ro"

extra = "3"

where sdc2 contains a copy of (most of) dom0's filesystem (ie, etc, bin, dev, usr & etc) and sdc3 is a swap partition. The thing to note here is that both partitions are on an external, USB-connected hard-drive. Using the command "xm create -c /etc/xen/vm1" to create the guest domain generates the following output.
