[Xen-users] CDROM Install of unmodified guest in FC6 Test2 host fails ..what to do ?

["Ranganathan, Shobha" <shobha.ranganathan@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

I am currently having a setup of hosts FC6 and para virtualized guest FC6 Test2.

 

I am trying to install unmodified guest FC5. I used xenguest-install.py to generate a config file for me. This I edited to get to run unmodified guest but no success yet.

 

When I do “xm create xenbox_G3FC5.hvm” it says “Started xenbox_G3FC5” . I get the message that “Fatal not a bootable disk” in a separate window.

This is because the disk does not have OS image/install

 

I tried CdROM option but that is not working either.

 

What are other options for installing unmodified guest OS FC5 for me ?

 

 

name = "xenbox_G3FC5"

builder = "hvm"

memory = "256"

uuid = "b18f6bb7-ac4c-b8e7-fb59-0097fea1c73e"

disk = [ 'file:/root/xenguest3,ioemu:hda,w' ]

vif = [

'type=ioemu,bridge=xenbr0,mac=00:16:3e:42:ac:69' ]

on_reboot   = 'restart'

on_crash    = 'restart'

kernel = '/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader'

device_model = '/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm'

sdl = 1 # use SDL for graphics

vncviewer = 0 # spawn vncviewer by default

nographic = 0 # don't use graphics

serial='pty' # enable serial console
