Thread-topic: [Xen-users] DomU booting problem.

Venkatesh,

 

The Mac address you have in the config file is not a legal Mac address.  It is in the multicast range. The addresses used start with 'aa:00:00'.

 

If you don’t set this value xend will generate a random Mac address.

 

It also appears that the root setting below  is incorrect, if  you are exporting the  sda1 partition.

Try using the  "-n" option to xm create to do a dry run and print the sxp which is easier to read.

Subject: [Xen-users] DomU booting problem.

 

I am new to Xen and not a pro Linux guy. So, I am having bit of rough ride setting up Xen.

 

Xen (2.0.7) and Dom0(2.6.11.12-Xen0) are booting alright. However, when I am not able to start DomU (ttylinux - standard download – no changes made). It stops at IP Config. Here is console log, the DomU config file, as well my main grub.conf. Quick help is really appreciated. Thanx

 

root@localhost xen]# xm create ttylinuxVM -c

Using config file "ttylinuxVM".
