Hi, all,
I'm not seeing disks under CentOS 6 when trying to install. I'm using:
xen-4.0.2-1.fc14.x86_64
2.6.32.39-175.xendom0.fc13.x86_64
installing using:
virt-install --debug -n sully --mac=02:00:0A:01:01:10 -f
/var/lib/xen/images/sully -s 12 -r 2048 --vcpus=2 --nographics -p
--os-type=linux --os-variant=rhel6 --location
http://librescu.bfccomputing.com/cobbler/ks_mirror/centos6-x86_64/
It sounded like:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=678374
so I tried dropping the --nonsparse option, but I'm using a newer
version of python-virtinstall:
python-virtinst-0.500.6-1.fc14.noarch
than should be required, and I'm seeing this with and with the option
anyway.
I do see the disk image is created, and attached to the DomU. e.g.:
[2011-07-26 01:01:47 18534] DEBUG (DevController:97) DevController:
writing {'domain': 'sully', 'frontend':
'/local/domain/18/device/vbd/51712', 'uuid':
'3380cea8-a322-292d-cc5d-8bb084306976', 'bootable': '1',
'dev': 'xvda',
'state': '1', 'params': 'aio:/var/lib/xen/images/sully',
'mode': 'w',
'online': '1', 'frontend-id': '18', 'type':
'tap'} to
/local/domain/0/backend/tap/18/51712.
and I can see the disk image if I dump configuration from virsh.
I do see this in the DomU kernel messages:
XENBUS: Device with no driver: device/vbd/51712
XENBUS: Device with no driver: device/vif/0
XENBUS: Device with no driver: device/console/0
but I see reports online that say not to worry about those, initrd will
load the modules.
The initrd does have:
./kernel/drivers/xen
./kernel/drivers/xen/xenfs
./kernel/drivers/net/xen-netfront.ko.gz
./kernel/drivers/block/xen-blkfront.ko.gz
on it.
I tried adding:
xen_emul_unplug=never
to the kernel parameters per a previous thread here, but that didn't
seem to change anything.
It seems like others are having success with CentOS 6 in general:
http://grantmcwilliams.com/tech/virtualization/xen-howtos/538-centos-6-vi...
so I suspect it's got something to do with Xen 4.0.2, but I'm not sure
where to look right now.
Any suggestions?
-Bill
