Re: [Xen-users] Installing a Debian Etch DomU using debootstrap

[Thomas <iamkenzo@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tom,

I created 2 lvm volumes, one ext3 and the other one swap of course.
Then mounted my volume in a directory /mnt, issued the following
command:
debootstrap --arch amd64 etch /mnt http://ftp.debian.org/debian

Installation happens.

Here is my configuration file:
--
#  -*- mode: python; -*-
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-6-xen-amd64"
initrd = "/boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-6-xen-amd64"
memory = "256"
maxmem = "1024"
name = "debian64"
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:00:00:05, ip=10.0.0.5' ]
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/mapper/xenvg-debian64,/dev/hda1,w',
         'phy:/dev/mapper/xenvg-debian64--swap,/dev/hda2,w' ]

root = "/dev/hda1"
extra='console=hvc0 xencons=hvc0'
--

I have correctly set the fstab, and securetty in the domU.

I installed linux-image-2.6.18-6-xen-amd64 in the dom0, I also copied
the modules to domU just in case. And it fails to mount the root fs.
Using a custom configuration file for compiling a vanilla kernel, it
works perfectly, but I would like to be able to use the packaged
kernel instead. Probably it is not compatible with debootstrap's
debian install?

How did you install the DomU with netinstall? Do you have a resource
to point me to? a tutorial?
