Hi Peter,
I was wondering how to install Debian/32 with XenCenter (version 6.1)
with XCP (version 1.6).
I select the VM template "Debian Squeeze 6.0 (32-bit)" in XenCenter and
select the ISO "debian-6.0.6-i386-netinst.iso".
The log panel shows:
Dec 12, 2012 10:01:44 AM Action: Create VM 'Debian Squeeze 6.0 (32-bit)
(1)' - VM successfully created
Dec 12, 2012 10:01:54 AM Error: Starting VM 'Debian Squeeze 6.0 (32-bit)
(1)' - Internal error: xenopsd internal error:
XenguestHelper.Xenctrl_dom_linux_build_failure(2, " elf_xen_note_check:
ERROR: Will only load images built \\\"")
The VM template "Debian Squeeze 6.0 (64-bit)" template works.
P.S: I also tried the templates "Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 (32-bit)" and
"Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 (64-bit)" where I can not select an ISO for the
installation. Are these too "exotic" distributions or how do you guys
proceed? Are you guys not using XenCenter to setup/install the VMs?
I've never tried to use install iso when installing debian squeeze. The
traditional way to use a full net install. That is, when the vm starts,
it downloads a vmlinuz kernel and a initrd from debian.org ftp, and then
starts the installer using those two files in RAM. You can tell the
install url when creating the vm, it should be something like
http://ftp.debian.org/debian . You must make sure that your dom0 can
access the internet though, otherwise you must set a local repository.
In the past I've seen a few times when the vmlinuz and initrd were
corrupted, so it may have been the case when you tried your install.
If you want to use iso anyway, you can still use the "other install
media" option, and convert your linux vm to paravirt afterward.
hope this helps,
Denis
Thx & cheers,
Peter
