Hello all

The chaps at XenServer directed me to this mailing list and to my surprise found 2 very recent hits on the error I am receiving.  Is it a bug perhaps?

Jordi logged this:

and Shawn logged this one:
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2007-01/msg00892.html

Here is more detail on my problem, please let me know if you have found anything to date.

On following the "Concise instructions for installing a CentOS VM on Xen"
http://mark.foster.cc/wiki/index.php/Centos-4_on_Xen
using a FC6 host and Oracle EL4 guest I am able to create the LVM partition,
bootstrap etc. without any errors however when I attempt to create the VM a
destroyDevice error is given.

So you know I have attempted to boot with the FC6 xen kernel first
(2.6.19-1.2895.fc6xen) and then installed the Red Hat xen kernel
vmlinuz-2.6.16.33-xen_3.0.4.1 by chroot and then rpm -ivh kernel-xen...
I wonder if the kernel is correct!?!

# xm create -c el4-1

gives...

"Using config file "/etc/xen/el4-1".
Error: destroyDevice() takes exactly 3 arguments (2 given)"

"xm list" while "xm create" is running
--------------------------------------
# xm list
Name ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State Time(s)
Domain-0 0 1892 2 r----- 2100.2
el4-1 24 96 1 --p--- 0.0


/etc/xen/el4-1 config file:
------------------
[root@localhost mnt]# cat /etc/xen/el4-1
kernel = "/root/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16.33-xen_3.0.4.1"
# also used FC6: kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6xen"
memory = 96

disk = [ 'phy:/dev/VolGroup01/LogVol01,sdb1,w','phy:/dev/VolGroup01/LogVol02,sdb2,w' ]
dhcp="dhcp"
root = "/dev/sdb1 ro"

guest fstab:
