[Xen-users] xen image problem on CentOS 5

[Brian Hammond <BRIANH@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I downloaded the knowledge tree appliance(Raw Filesystem Image) from

 http://www.rpath.org/rbuilder/project/knowledgetree/release?id=5774

 

I’ve tried various cfg file scenarios but I still get the cannot mount

Ive been able to build my own xen file images and boot them but I’v never been able to boot pre-made appliances.

I’ve tried hda1,sda1 etc because i’ve see others around the net with similar problems but I’ve not been able to get it resolved.  

 

Error Msg:

VFS: Cannot open root device "sda1" or unknown-block(0,0)

Please append a correct "root=" boot option

Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

 

 

ConfigFile:

 

kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.1.8.el5xen"

memory = 512

name = "ktree"

vif = [ '' ]

ip = "xx.xx.xx.xx"

disk = ['file:/var/lib/xen/images/KTree.img,sda1,w']

root = "/dev/sda1 ro"

vcpus=2

 

 

This is the config file generated when I created my own xen vm but it does not work when I adapt it to work with appliances.

 

name = "CentOS_I386_node0"

memory = "500"

disk = [ 'tap:aio:/var/lib/xen/images/CentOS_I386_node0,xvda,w', ]

vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:36:5b:e6, bridge=xenbr0', ]

vfb = ["type=vnc,vncunused=1"]

uuid = "4c2d6734-286f-689b-111a-e46139748a57"

bootloader="/usr/bin/pygrub"

vcpus=2

on_reboot   = 'restart'

on_crash    = 'restart
