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...

Problem booting Fedora 8 guest on FC6 host: msg#00038

Subject: Problem booting Fedora 8 guest on FC6 host
Hi,

I'm trying to get a Fedora 8 para-virtual guest to run on a FC6 host.

I had problems with the install because of the bugs in the 0.200 release
of virtinst. I fixed this by doing a source install of virtinst-0.300.

The F8 install completed succesfully, but when the guest boots I get
this msg:

<snip initial boot msgs>
md: Autodetecting RAID arrays.
md: autorun ...
md: ... autorun DONE.
VFS: Cannot open root device "vg_skeggles/lv_root" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
unknown-block(0,0)

Has anyone got any ideas about how to fix this?

I am currently using kernel-xen-2.6.20-1.2952.fc6 and xen 3.0.3-9.fc6
(I've upgraded to kernel-xen-2.6.20-1.3002.fc6 and xen-3.0.3-13.fc6 but
not rebooted yet).

My xen config file (created automatically by virt-install) is as follows:

name = "skeggles"
uuid = "a8912edd-ea7c-f324-f1bb-fdbc0c1a4b65"
maxmem = 512
memory = 512
vcpus = 1
bootloader = "/usr/bin/pygrub"
on_poweroff = "destroy"
on_reboot = "restart"
on_crash = "restart"
sdl = 0
vnc = 0
vncunused = 0
disk = [ "phy:/dev/vg_guests/lv_skeggles,xvda,w" ]
vif = [ "mac=00:16:3e:4c:82:c7,bridge=xenbr0" ]


Thanks,

R.
