Hi,
Thanks for response!! I alredy do it ... but the same problem ... in fact I copied all the files of the physical machine to the mounted file img... so it will be considered as an unpartitionedonly device and the logical way to do so is to spicify hda instead of hda1 (as your proposal :-)) ...but it doesn't resolve my pb.

any way I proceed to a vmware virtualisation to unlock the situation :)

Thanks anyway.



2008/11/26 Nick Couchman <Nick.Couchman@xxxxxxxxx>
The file that you have specified as hda1in your config - is that a full disk image (including a partition table) or is that a single partition?  You may need to specify it as "hda" instead of "hda1" if it has a partition table.

Hi all,

I have the same error althougt I spicify a root entry... I looked everywhere without success... the only case when my VM start was with a 2.6.9-42 kernel but in recovery (maintenance) mode, and a read only file system. bellow my files MyVM.conf and  /etc/fstab :

kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-78.ELxenU" ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-2.6.9-78.ELxenU.img" memory = 256 name = "MYMAC" vif = [ 'mac=, bridge=xenbr0' ] disk = [ 'file:/opt/mylan/mymac.img,hda1,w' ] ip = '' hostname = name netmask = "255.255.255.0" gateway = "192.168.10.74" root = '/dev/hda1 ro' extra = "ro selinux=0 3"



/dev/hda1        /                       ext3    defaults        1 1 none                    /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0 none                    /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0 none                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0 none                    /sys                    sysfs   defaults        0 0

cheers

You need to specify a root= entry that matches the root device - the kernel doesn't know where to find the device to mount the / directory.

Thanks for replay,

1) CentOS release 5.2 (Final) 2) version 3.0.2 installed by yum 3)Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 7) 4) I tried with all proposed kerlens kernels  2.6.9-78,  2.6.9-78,  2.6.9-55 but they all generate the following error :

PS. How Is it possible to boot with a minimal kernel

Cheers



2008/11/25 Nick Couchman <Nick.Couchman@xxxxxxxxx>
A few questions:
1) What update of CentOS5 are you using on the host?
2) Are you using the Xen version that came with CentOS5, or have you manually installed another version?
3) What update of RHEL4 are you running as the guest?
4) The kernel version referenced in the error message indicates that you have a pretty old kernel - 2.6.9-42, while the more recent RHEL releases are on 2.6.9-78 (the latest) or 2.6.9-67.  You may want to try booting a minimal system in your domU and updating the kernel to a later version and see if that helps.
