Hi, I have exactly the same problem: how did you solve?

Thanks

Hi,

I've just tried again, this time using one of the example xen files.
Details below.


x-host-3:/etc/xen/vm # cat test
# This is a bootloader used to boot paravirtualized domains.  You can optionally
# plug in a different boot loader here, e.g., pygrub.  There is usually no
# reason to change this.  Don't explicitly specify kernel and ramdisk if you use
# a bootloader.

bootloader="/usr/lib/xen/boot/domUloader.py"


# The domUloader will pull the specified kernel and initrd out of the domU's
# disk, and use that to boot.  This is easier to manage, compared to manually
# keeping a copy of the kernel and initrd in sync in dom0's filesystem and
# pointing to them with the "kernel" and "ramdisk" parameters.  Syntax is
# "VDEV:KERNEL,INITRD", where VDEV is the block device (from domU's point of
# view) within which KERNEL and INITRD can be found.
bootentry = "hda1:/boot/vmlinuz-xen,/boot/initrd-xen"


# Remaining settings for the example VM:
name="domUloader-example"
memory=512
vcpus=1

> > > localtime=0
builder="linux"

bootargs="--entry=xvda1:/boot/vmlinuz-xen,/boot/initrd-xen"

disk=[ 'drbd:xendomains,xvda,w' ]
vif=[ 'mac=00:16:3e:00:01:02,bridge=xenbr0' ]

vfb=['type=vnc,vncunused=1']
