Please,run before starting install :-
#losetup /dev/loop0 /etc/xen/iso/COS52.iso
Verify loop device is present:-
# losetup -a
/dev/loop0: [080b]:1046765 (/etc/xen/iso/COS52.iso)
Cat and paste into profile :-
disk = ['phy:/dev/loop0,hdc:cdrom,r','phy:/dev/vg00/elastix,xvda,w']
vif = [ 'bridge=eth1' ]
# disk = ['file:/etc/xen/iso/COS52.iso,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,r',
# 'phy:/dev/vg00/elastix,xvda1,w' ]
Two errors i guess :-
1. "ioemu" for paravirtual guest is incorrect
2. xvda not xvda1
# vif = [ '' ]
Bridge not specified
vfb = ["type=vnc,vncunused=1"]
bootloader = "/usr/bin/pygrub"
kernel = '/images/xen/vmlinuz'
ramdisk = '/images/xen/initrd.img'
vcpus = 1
Of course the above is without
mounting to loop. I have tried mounting to loop
with the same results.
Thank you,
David
