I'm trying to get started with Xen and thought I'd do a simple install
Fedora 18 as a DomU under a Fedora 18 Dom0. Unfortunately this is not
working for me.
It appears to boot the kernel fine, but then complains that it can't
find "/dev/root". I presume that this would be a specific root image for
the Fedora installer?
The logs indicate that the kernel command line is empty. Apparently
there should be something in there (maybe "root=/dev/xvda") but I am not
sure how to achieve this. I would have expected virt-install to do this
for me, though.
Can someone please let me know what I am doing wrong? (details of what I
am trying are below).
Also, I had to manually start "xend" to get this far. Is this normal? It
didn't appear in the services in /etc/rc.d/init.d
Thank you
I created a 20GB logical volume /dev/fedora_dhcp1/xen1
I mounted the Fedora 18 installation ISO into /mnt/install (-t iso9660
-o loop,ro)
I created a bridge "brctl addbr br0" (I haven't added any interfaces to
it yet, I plan to sort out the network after getting virtualisation working)
I created the Xen DomU instance using the following command...
[root@dhcp1 ~]# virt-install --paravirt --name xen1 --ram 256 --vcpus 1
-f /dev/fedora_dhcp1/xen1 --network bridge=br0 --location /mnt/install
--graphics none
