Problem with XEN

[swethu bandaru]

Respected Sir,
            When we are trying to install a guest os by using xen in fedora6 I am using
virt-install command and i have specified the following

What is the name of the VM ?guest1
How much RAM should be allocated in MB ?  200
What would you like to use as the diskpath ? /home/xenbox.img
What is the install location ?nfs:192.168.5.47:/home/fc6
In /home/fc6 folder we have the fc6 installation docs.
when i used xm list command we have found the guest os guest1 and its permission as
-b-----
when we have given xm create -c guest1
then we got the errors 
UNABLE TO READ FILE SYSTEM
BOOTLOADER DIDN.T RETURN ANY DATA
please help me with this problem
                                                                        Thank you!

This is an unusual location.  Is SELinux enabled?  Does
/var/lib/xen/images/xenbox.img work?

Hi Swethu!
do you have enough space in /home folder for a guest image?
and did you disable firewall by "service iptables stop"? i'm not sure 
but it may help!

Possible Stupid Question...

[David Levinger]

Hey guys,

Been loving Xen and playing around with it for awhile now but recently
tried something new and had a really weird result, not sure if it is at
all related to Xen so I'm gonna ask here.

1. I have a SATA based Xen x64 machine running a para-virtualized x64 VM,
that VM is written out to an LVM Partition. /dev/vgmachine/lvVM
2. I shut down that VM and then dd_rescue it over to another machine.
(With the same LVM setup)
3. The other machine is running the same exact host OS but has SAS based
IO instead of SATA.
4. When I bring up the Xen machine on the SAS host the whole computer gets
hosed. I see SAS controller errors and I have to hard power the machine.

I'm building a new Xen machine on the SAS host now and it doesn't seem to
be causing trouble, did I do something stupid in assuming that I could
move a Para-virtualized machine from one type of IO to another?
