[Xen-users] exception looking up device number for hda1: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/dev/hda1'

["Mike Raath" <raathm@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've been trying for days to get a simple xen domU installed on a Debian Etch system, but I'm going round in circles getting steadily more and more frustrated.

My host machine is, as I say, Etch running the 2.6.18-6-xen-686 kernel. Xen is 3.0.3-1. I've tried a few tutorials, but the most recent was this one: http://www.howtoforge.com/debian_etch_xen_from_debian_repository

The only real differences between that tutorial and my steps are that I don't use the vserver kernel and I commented out the initrd line (I don't need a RAM disk, although on other attempts to get it working I did uncomment it).

The command I use to create the image:
#xen-create-image --debootstrap --hostname xen-etch --dhcp --dist=etch --ide --force

Here's the xen-tools config:

-- Start
-- End


Here are the contents of my xen-etch config file:

-- Start
kernel  = '/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-6-xen-686'
memory  = '128'
root    = '/dev/hda1 ro'
disk    = [ 'file:/home/xen/domains/xen-etch/disk.img,hda1,w', 'file:/home/xen/domains/xen-etch/swap.img,hda2,w' ]
name    = 'xen-etch'
dhcp = 'dhcp'
vif  = [ '' ]
>on_reboot   = 'restart'
on_crash    = 'restart'
-- End

I then create the domain using sudo xm create xen-etch.cfg and it appears to create correctly:

# mraath@ld2:~$ sudo xm create xen-etch.cfg
# Using config file "/etc/xen/xen-etch.cfg".
# Started domain xen-etch

However, when I try to attach to the console, it reports that it couldn't find the disk device.

# mraath@ld2:~$ sudo xm console xen-etch
# Error: Domain 'xen-etch' does not exist.
# Usage: xm console <Domain>
#
# Attach to <Domain>'s console.

An extract from the log file shows this:

-- Start

Can someone please help me get this sorted out? I just seem to be swatting flies at the moment.

Thanks,
Mike
