Hi all,
I have a stupid question: how can I boot a guest from cd? (my vm is a
linux paravirtualized)
I don't know why you need to actually boot a paravirtulized guest from
cdrom. But If I have to go to rescue mode of a paravirtualized guest, I
used to do something like the below one. The example is only applicable
for RHEL/Fedora/Centos, I don't know how best this can be suited for
other distros.
Download the images/xen/{vmlinuz, initrd.img} from the distro source to
/var/lib/xen/images.
Add the below lines to the guest configuration file.
kernel = "/var/lib/xen/images/vmlinuz"
ramdisk = "/var/lib/xen/images/initrd.img"
extra = "rescue"
Comment out the line starting by "pygrub = ".
Boot the guest as usual and specify nfs/http/ftp repo as the rescue source.
It had worked very nicely for me. Is there any other requirements that
compells you to boot a PV guest from cdrom except to go to rescue mode?
