As the title states, I am trying to install a PV ubuntu 10.04 domu on my
centos 5.5 xen 4.0 dom0. The steps I have attempted are as follows:
1 - lvcreate -n ubuntutest -L 8G domuvg
2 - wget
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/xen/vmlinuz
3 - wget
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/xen/initrd.gz
4 - cat ubuntu.xen
name = "ubuntu"
memory = 2048
disk = ['phy:/dev/domuvg/ubuntutest,xvda,w' ]
vif = [ 'bridge=br2' ]
kernel = "/mnt/disk/vmlinuz"
ramdisk = "/mnt/disk/initrd.gz"
vcpus = 1
on_reboot = 'destroy'
on_crash = 'destroy'
5 - xm create -c ubuntu.xen
... installation goes just fine ...
6 - grabbed the virtualized kernel and ramdisk from another running
physical machine to use in step 7.
7 - cat ubuntu.xen.running
name = "ubuntu-test"
memory = 2048
disk = ['phy:/dev/domuvg/ubuntu-pv,xvda,w' ]
vif = [ 'bridge=br2' ]
kernel = "/etc/xen/ubuntu-kernel/vmlinuz-2.6.32-22-server"
ramdisk = "/etc/xen/ubuntu-kernel/initrd.img-2.6.32-22-server"
vcpus = 1
on_poweroff = 'destroy'
on_reboot = 'restart'
on_crash = 'restart'
8 - xm create -c ubuntu.xen.running
Using config file "./ubuntu.xen.running".

Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
- Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
- Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
- Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
- Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT! does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
BusyBox v1.13.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu11) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
(initramfs)
From that it appears it is trying to boot on the xvda5 which is the
swap partition. So I checked the fdisk layout of that lv and here is
what I get:
Disk /dev/domuvg/ubuntu-pv: 8589 MB, 8589934592 bytes

I just need a running pv ubuntu domu so I can do some testing with LTSP5
and openldap. Is there an easier way to do this than with the "kernel"
and "ramdisk" options? I don't want to deal with the pygrub issue with
grub2 unless I just absolutely have to.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
