[Xen-users] Installing ubuntu as domU on Suse SLES dom0

["Russell Horn" <albanach@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm looking for pointers to install an ubuntu 6 LTS domU on my suse
enterprise 10 dom0 running xen 3.1

What's the easiest way to do this? Can I boot an install CD in /dev/dvd

I have installed ubuntu as a test locally. I thought perhaps I could
just copy the partition for my working install here, so I used dd to
cop the partition and moved it to the Suse box. I then used dd to
extract the partition copy to a new LVM drive /dev/system/ubuntu_lts

I'm not sure how to get this to be bootable though. If i try a config
file like this:

name="ubuntu"
memory=512
vcpus=2
on_crash="destroy"
on_poweroff="destroy"
on_reboot="destroy"
localtime=0
kernel="/ubuntu/vmlinuz-xenpae"
disk=[ 'phy:/dev/system/ubuntu_lts,hda,w']
root = '/dev/hda'
vif=[ 'mac=00:16:3e:6a:b4:43', ]
nographic=1

I just get:

VFS: Cannot open root device "hda" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions:
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

Does anyone one the list have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Russell
