Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

RE: Prb manualy creating new VM.: msg#00037

Subject: RE: Prb manualy creating new VM.
Try changing this line:
disk = [ 'phy:sda4,sda1,w' ]
to this:
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/sda4,sda1,w' ]
I had to do that for my domU's when I was uing paravirtualization a few
versions ago.  I can't remember if that was all I had to do, but you might
also try this line (I think it would only be more appropriate in an HVM
environment where the partition had been fdisked as well):
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/sda4,hda,w' ]

Subject: [Fedora-xen] Prb manualy creating new VM.

Hi,
after a previous thread I start & some feedback you gave to me, about
creating xen VM I ask you for your help.

Here is the problem : `mount`. It was unable to find the disk/device
to mount it as root (/). After the linux kernel bootup (domU)
I create the VM by theses steps:

i'm on fedora 8 with xen 3.1.0-13


a) #fdisk /dev/sda              create a new part (sda4) type linux
b)format it with
   #mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda4
c)Copy on it all files from my distrib with :
   #cp -a / /mnt/sda4
  Edit the /mnt/sda4/etc/fstab to meet the reqs for the VM.
d)Start the vm from config file (see below).
   #xm create testvm.conf -c
        Booom! failed :'(       

I check every thing i can, fstab, VM config file & test several
things... But i was unable to fix the problem.

Someone can help me, point out whats wrong ?
Thanks,

---
Guillaume
