Hello everybody,
I have two problems with xen and fc6 on a x86_64 AMD.
The first problem: When I install on a new HD fc6 x86_64 WITH the program group VM then my pc is refusing to boot. The boot process stops with the message: udev and then hangs. After the above procedure I installed FC6 x86-64 WITHOUT xen. The machine boots normal. Now I install all the xen packages. At boot time I can choose now between the xen kernel and the 'normal' kernel. BUT when I make the xen kernel the default boot option the machine hangs again. So I make the 'normal' kernel the default which it was by default. Now I can boot both kernels without problems. So when the xen kernel is the default boot option or the only boot option the machine refuses to boot. Why ?
My second problem is how to create a VM image: In this list I used the advice from Chris Tyler on booting from a network source in this case http. My URL is: http://192.168.0.1/FC_5, which is the ip adres of my FC_6-xen installation. The startup works ok untill the following error: "error: failed to retrieve FC_5/Fedora/base/stage2.img" I disabled SElinux. I can browse the dvd with Firefox.
When I use nfs as a source as Adrian Revill pointed out I end up with the error: "That directory could not be mounted from the server" While the setup starts fine it seems to me the nfs setup is correct so there must be another problem ?
What am I doing wrong ?
Thanks in advance !
Henk
