[Xen-users] Full Virtualised DomU Hang on Boot

[<peter.chiu@xxxxxxxxxx>]

On an DELL R710 server, I mounted OpenSuse 11.2 (86-64) with the xen kernel 2.6.31.8-0.1-xen.

 

I am trying to replicate an existing Red Hat Enterprise AS 3 (Taroon) 32-bit with kernel 2.4.21-57.ELsmp as a DomU.

 

Having done the dd of the entire system disk into an image, and use yast2 to set up a full virtualisation guest configure file,

I then start up the guest.

 

On the console it only shows up:

apricot:/etc/xen/vm # xm create -c ignis

Using config file "./ignis".

Started domain ignis (id=23)

 

Then using vncviewer :5900, it returns a window that continues with the start up.

  Booting ‘Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (2.4.21-57-Elsmp)’

 

root (hd0,1)

 Fileysystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21-57.ELsmp ro root=/dev/sda2

  [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1400, size=0x14d31e]

initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.21-57.ELsmp.img

 

After this, the guest makes no further progress.

 

Below is the configuration file on the guest.

 

I can mount the guest image using the loop device, check the files, and can chroot to it okay.

 

It looks as if it is waiting for the operating system disk to continue.

Does any have any idea how to investigate this?

 

Many thanks.
