Hi all,
I've rebuilt my xen server to Fedora 15 Beta which has Xen 4.1.0.
I've copied the config files from a working Fedora 14 & Xen 4.0.1 xen server, however it seems that the guests refuse to start.
My config file is as follows: memory = 512 name = "zeus.vm" vcpus = 2 disk = [ 'phy:/dev/RAID1/zeus.vm,xvda,w', 'phy:/dev/RAID5/fileshare,xvdb,w' ]
Try file: instead of phy: and xl rather than xm. I think that kernel has kernel block back support in theory but I am not sure it works.
I think I managed to track down the problem!
Replacing the kernel & initrd lines in the config file with: bootloader = '/usr/bin/pygrub'
The domains seem to function without issue now.
I still seem to have problems starting hvm DomUs with Windows as the guest OS. My guess is that something seems to be wrong with pv-grub_x86_64.gz and possible hvmloader?
Has anyone managed to overcome, confirm or suggest a workaround for this?
