Re: [Xen-users] No filesystem could mount root

Fajar,

Thank you for your reaction.

This is the documentation that I have used :

http://www.howtoforge.com/centos_5.0_xen
http://planet.admon.org/howto/install-windows-xp-in-xen-centos/
http://www.virtuatopia.com/index.php/Installing_and_Running_Windows_XP_or_Vista_as_a_Xen_HVM_domainU_Guest
http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-run-fully-virtualized-guests-hvm-with-xen-3.2-on-debian-lenny-x86_64
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen

It is mostly for installing Windows from cdrom and so I thought I had it adapted to my Endian installation.
I want to install endian firewall, which I need to install from cdrom or iso-mage.

Could you point me to a good documentation or tutorial ???

My Intel processor does not support hardware virtualisation, so I should be able to use Xen for full virtualisation (like I did before with VirtualBox).

Kind regards,

Jonas.

So you want to install PV domU?

type=ioemu is unnecessary, and might cause problems

You didn't say what OS you're trying to install. Most Linux distros
that I know of can't install PV guest from cdrom/iso.

I don't think those lines mean anything on PV domU. Where did you base
your domU config from?

AFAIK these ones also have meaning in HVM domU, not PV

Since you have virt-manager anyway, why not start with letting it
create a domU config file for you?
Easiest way to install some (e.g. Centos, Fedora) PV domU from scratch
is by using http install mirror.
