Fresh Ubuntu Precise 12.04 i386 installation as domU in both F17 and 18 dom0 doesn't boot at all
Hi All,
I'm trying to boot Ubuntu 12.04 LTS precise i386 as domU after a clean installation on Fedora F17 and/or F18 dom0 fully updated. Ubuntu precise was installed with
virt-install --debug --connect xen:/// -n Ubuntu12LTS4 --nographics --vcpus=2 -r 1024 --arch=i686 -l http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-i386 --network bridge=peth0 --os-type=linux --os-variant=ubuntuprecise --disk /dev/disk/by-path/ip-10.0.0.1:3260-iscsi-iqn.2011-01.it.tekno-soft:xen.vm.Ubuntu-lun-4
After a clean instllation I'm unable to boot anymore the new domU. BTW I was able to install and boot clean the 64bits version of the same distribution.
Do you have any suggestion how to solve this?
Thanks in advance. Roberto Fichera.

It seems that pygrub doesn't like your guest kernel (or possibly is failing to download them). Do you know what file format Ubuntu uses for these kernels?

It might be that pygrub picks something else - not the vmlinuz but say multiboot.c32.
If you run pygrub -i <the disk image> and pick the right menu option - what does the command spit out?

I've found the reason of my problem. Basically it seems that the installed kernel isn't the required "-virtual" but instead the "-generic" one. So, during the installation I have selected to manually install the right kernel package once requested by the installer. Thus everything went ok.
