libguestfs-test-tool output

Description of problem:
Not able to access the disk of a VM.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libguestfs-1.0.76-1.el5.4.x86_64
libguestfs-tools-1.0.76-1.el5.4.x86_64

Hypervisor is running RHEL 5
Linux rh2.rh.hpintelco.org 2.6.18-164.9.1.el5 #1 SMP Wed Dec 9 03:27:37 EST 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
I am trying to access the disk from a VM which has been created by RHEV-M. 

1. Get the name of the disk through some vdsClient magic.
2. guestfish -v
3. <fs> add /dev/496c8d8c-f07f-4805-9d74-fa4d9620ab8d/478a83d2-d79b-423a-84ab-a36f24f0d13b
4. run
  
Actual results:
[root@rh2 ~]#  guestfish -v -a /dev/496c8d8c-f07f-4805-9d74-fa4d9620ab8d/478a83d2-d79b-423a-84ab-a36f24f0d13b

Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2010-01-25 13:03:14 UTC 
Please run the following command:

libguestfs-supermin-helper /usr/lib64/guestfs /tmp/kernel /tmp/initrd

(You don't need to be root)

This will create two files called /tmp/kernel and /tmp/initrd.

/tmp/kernel should be a symlink.

/tmp/initrd should be a large file (~100MB).  Please email /tmp/initrd to me.

-----

For example, when I do this on my RHEL 5.4 machine:

$ libguestfs-supermin-helper /usr/lib64/guestfs /tmp/kernel /tmp/initrd
$ ls -l /tmp/kernel /tmp/initrd 
-rw-r--r-- 1 rjones rjones 99412480 Jan 25 13:01 /tmp/initrd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 rjones rjones       28 Jan 25 13:01 /tmp/kernel -> /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-164.el5

initrd file as requested
Comment 3 Richard W.M. Jones 2010-01-25 16:49:56 UTC 
Possible sign of desperation but can you check the install is not
corrupted in any way:

$ rpm -V $(rpm -qa | grep guestf)
Comment 4 Richard W.M. Jones 2010-01-25 16:55:08 UTC 
Also, can you check how much free space you have on /tmp.

Also, when you ran libguestfs-supermin-helper (comment 1) did you
get any other warnings or error messages?
Comment 5 Richard W.M. Jones 2010-01-25 17:32:28 UTC 
A comment on the appliance (initrd) attached in comment 2.  I can understand
why the kernel cannot run /init from that appliance.  The appliance contains
an x86_64 binary of /bin/bash, but only i386 libraries!

The only thing I know that can really screw up a libguestfs installation that much
is multilib[1].

So that is why I really need to know the answer to comment 3.

The reporter neglected to mention:

<monolive> rwmjones, I've cop[ied] initramfs.epel-5.i686.supermin.hostfiles initramfs.epel-5.i686.supermin.img in /usr/lib64/guestfs as it was complaining that he was missing them in

I think this is the multilib issue from comment 5 above.
