Hi,
I'm new to Xen. I've been trying unsucessfully to setup an x86_64 guest on
my x86_64 Dom0 (both running Fedora Core 6). The dom0 system is a fresh
install of FC6 with latest updates applied.
What I have been able to do is run the 'virt-install' utility to create the
guest environment, however when the FC6 install finishes on the guest, it
says 'rebooting' and then dies i.e. I can't see the guest listed when I do
an 'xm list'.
What I've then done is 'xm create -c /etc/xen/fc6_64' (the name of the
config created above) which takes my to the pygrub boot screen, then
attempts to boot, however I only get as far as 'creating root device' and it
stops. Now, when I do an 'xm list' I can see the guest listed but it is in
the 'blocked' state. The xend.log file doesn't appear to show any errors,
just a whole lot of DEBUG - the last message is 'INFO (XendDomain:370)
Domain fc6_64 (1) unpaused'
Now if I try to reboot the guest i.e 'xm reboot fc6_64' things go horribly
wrong. The guest console says 'restarting' then drops back to Dom0 command
line. When I do 'xm list' I get the error 'Error: Device 51712 not
connected' instead of the usual list and xend.log shows the following:
