Re: [Xen-users] No bootloader with D-I in domU on part. RAID1

Markus,

 I'm trying this today too! But I'm still in the partition step....   :-/
 Try to use PyGRUB after installations finishes... If you don't have the menu.lst file inside your domU, make one manually...   ;-)

Hello.

I just tried (as my first attempt in xenning) to set up a lenny amd64 domU on a partitionable Mirror RAID (/dev/md_d0p1 - /dev/md_d0p4), using the Debian installer from "people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/images/daily/". The partitions of the md will be represented inside the domU as /dev/xvda1-4 accordingly.

The dom0 seems to run fine, it's Xen 3.2.1 on amd64 lenny.

The d-i runs smoothly until it gets to the installation of the bootloader. There I get the red screen with "Installation step failed". There isn't as much as a grub directory written on the /boot partition.
Not very surprising, the guest OS won't boot after finishing the installation anyway. I tried to install grub manually from outside the domU, but that also doesn't seem to get me anywhere.

Did I instinctively pick the one disk setup Xen (or grub) won't work with?

Best regards,
Markus
