[Fedora-xen] Using pre-built images with FC6 Xen?
I've been messing around with Xen in FC6 lately, and after some delays
(figuring out SELinux was blocking access to my image, and finally
moving it to /xen) I have been able to build OS images from scratch.
Now, I am trying to get a few Xen images that I downloaded running.
But, when I start the VM, I get a system/BIOS error message saying the
disk is not bootable. Is there some extra step that needs to be done
to get Xen to recognize disk images?
I am running on a Core2 Duo based system, in 64 bit mode, with VT
enabled. I'm using an HVM config, similar to one I used on a self
built image. I've tried it with a few images, such as the MySQL VM
from virtualappliances.net
The config looks like:
name = "mysql"
builder = "hvm"
memory = "128"
disk = [ 'file:/xen/VirtualAppliancesMySQL/vadisk-xen-mysql,hda,w', ]
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, mac=00:16:3e:6c:c4:f2, bridge=xenbr0', ]
uuid = "ba39d3e4-130c-abf6-d7ae-a312420a4966"
device_model = "/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm"
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
vnc=1
vncunused=1
apic=1
acpi=1
pae=1
vcpus=1
serial = "pty" # enable serial console
on_reboot = 'restart'
on_crash = 'restart'
Any tips on how to get pre-made images working with FC6 Xen?
