Re: [Xen-users] Xen newbie question

I really need to automate the image construction process so we will have
a repeatable process for producing these images.
Try this one:

for debian, it seems to work kinda..
Starting deferred execution scheduler: atd.
Starting periodic command scheduler: cron.
INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel
for ubuntu, it also failed. the problem is that even if I could get
debian to work, I need to work from an umbuntu base. so onto the failures:
#1
I: Configuring gnupg...
I: Configuring ubuntu-keyring...
W: Failure while configuring base packages. This will be attempted 5 times.
W: Failure while configuring base packages. This will be attempted 5 times.
W: Failure while configuring base packages. This will be attempted 5 times.

W: Failure while configuring base packages. This will be attempted 5 times.
I: Base system installed successfully.
#2
+ chroot /mnt /usr/bin/aptitude upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Initializing package states... Done
root@xeno:~#
and it had a whole lot more to do. I've been racking my brain and can't
quite remember what magic mode of failure makes a shell script terminate
without any error messages in mid-script. what's infuriating is the
debian version goes through the identical segment without a problem.
any ideas on how to fix this problem?
of course, it strikes me that it should be possible to create a disk
image by using qemu and a bootable CD-ROM image. The problem is, you
get a real disk image complete with partitions and since the Linux
loopback device is a botched job that can't cope with petitions and that
the magic cylinder, heads, and sectors are guessed at, it's damned
difficult to try and pull a partition out of a file based disk image.
So far, I've failed every time.
The only tool I've really found that gets it right is losetup but making
a copy of the mounted partition via /dev/loopX gives me
root@xeno:/home/esj# mount -o loop ubuntu-server-root.img /virt_disk/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop7,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
when I come back from shoveling snow, I'll try making a cp level copy of
the partition onto a new straight file image.
