[Xen-users] xen 4.2 unstable / squeeze 6.0.2

["Walter Robert Ditzler" <ditwal001@xxxxxxxxx>]

hi xen cracks :-),

everything works fine, booting of the squeeze box, starting of the xen 4.2
deamon, .... I have also defined the first xen guest, a debian 6.0.2 amd64,
on a 100G lvm partition. when I start the guest, xl create server01.cfg, it
starts the guest with the cdrom iso image attached which contains the debian
squeeze 6.0.2 network setup.

now, in the guest during the debian setup, it searches for a disk or
partition but can't find any. does anyone have a glue why is that? do I make
a mistake in the xen guest script which is pasted bellow this email?

I really appreciate any information's, had several horrible nights behind me
:-)

thanks walter
