Using a kernel non-Red Hat for guest rhel4, the Virtual Machine boot work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xen-3.0.3-25.0.3.el5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Edit the Virtual Machine conffile as below: # /etc/xen/astronomix-baraddur1.cfg name ='astronomix-baraddur1' disk = ['phy:/dev/baraddur1/astronomix,hda1,w', 'phy:/dev/baraddur1/astronomix-swap,hda2,w'] memory = 1024 builder = 'linux' kernel = '/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.1.8.el5xen' #kernel = '/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-4-xen-amd64' ramdisk = '/boot/initrd-2.6.18-8.1.8.el5xen.img' #ramdisk = '/boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-4-xen-amd64' root = '/dev/hda1 ro' vif = ['bridge=xenbr4, vifname=astronomix-baraddur1-0'] #vcpus = "7 #cpus = "1" on_poweroff = 'destroy' on_reboot = 'restart' on_crash = 'restart' 2. To create lvm disks with a rhel4 OS installed. 3. Boot the virtual machine with the command below: xm create -c /etc/xen/astronomix-baraddur1.cfg Actual Results: The Virtual Machine with official rhel5 kernel not work. Expected Results: Virtual Machine boot complete. Additional info:
I'm not entirely clear on what the problem is. Are you saying that you can't boot a RHEL-5 PV guest, or that you can't boot a RHEL-4 PV guest? In either case, please provide the complete dmesg output from the guest and /var/log/xen/xend.log and /var/log/xen/xend-debug.log. Thanks, Chris Lalancette
