Re: [Xen-users] Installation of Debian Lenny on XCP
 
  
  
    You ... well.. not really make it right. 
     
    1) You _NEED_ networking to make any debian to install via those
    template. Create VIF for VM and plug it to internet network. 
    2) You need to get access to console. There is pretty big article
    about consoles in XCP on xen wiki (short: use XenCenter) 
    3) If you shutdown installing VM before completing installation you
    need to reconfigure it to repeat installation. 
     
    This can be done by typing xe vm-param-set uuid=...
    PV-bootloader=elilo 
    (every time VM stating with elilo it replace itself in PV-bootloader
    by pygrub which can just load kernels from VDI, not downloading
    installation from internet).

        Hi. 
        
        I tried to install Debian Lenny on XCP; here is what I got:
         
        [root@labtest7 ~]#  xe vm-install template=Debian\ Lenny\ 5.0\
          \(32-bit\) new-name-label=ExampleVM
        2479df9e-dcc7-4105-456f-d03a5a17c185 
        [root@labtest7 ~]#  xe vm-param-set
          uuid=2479df9e-dcc7-4105-456f-d03a5a17c185
          other-config:install-repository=ftp://ftp2.fr.debian.org/debian/
        [root@labtest7 ~]#  xe vm-start
          uuid=2479df9e-dcc7-4105-456f-d03a5a17c185
        [root@labtest7 ~]# 
        [root@labtest7 ~]# 
        [root@labtest7 ~]#
         
        Inside xsconsole I can see that the VM "ExampleVM" is "running"
        but:
         
        - the "installation" toke only about 10 sec. 
        - the installation did not ask for anything (eg: IP address,
        locale, etc...)
         
        When I try to restart the VM I get the following:
         
        [root@labtest7 ~]#  xe vm-shutdown
          uuid=2479df9e-dcc7-4105-456f-d03a5a17c185
        [root@labtest7 ~]#  xe vm-start
          uuid=2479df9e-dcc7-4105-456f-d03a5a17c185
        Error code: WARNING: /dev/xvda is
          not a disk image 
        Error parameters:
          Traceback (most recent call last):,   File "/usr/bin/pygrub",
          line 746, in ?,     raise RuntimeError, "Unable to find
          partition containing kernel", RuntimeError: Unable to find
          partition containing kernel,
        [root@labtest7 ~]#
         
        What is it that I do wrong?
         
        Cheers,
        
         
        Eugenio
