Hello Experts, I'm trying to use OpenSolaris 2008.05 Over NFS as a domU. I have copied the contents of the DVD onto a folder and shared it over NFS. dom0 is Solaris (nv77).
Here is my config file : name = "dvd" vcpus = 1 memory = "2048" #/dvd is the NFS mounted folder. Ths has the contents of the DVD kernel = "/dvd/platform/i86xpv/kernel/unix" ramdisk = "/dvd/boot_archive" extra = "/platform/i86xpv/kernel/unix -B console=xen" vif = [''] nfs_server= "129.146.107.239" nfs_root = "/export/home/sumedha/sol_dvd" on_shutdown = "destroy" on_reboot = "destroy" on_crash = "preserve" I tried using x86.microroot from the DVD, but that did not work. So, I copied boot_archive from a running OpenSolaris Dom0. Now when I try to run "xm start", OpenSolaris tries to boot and freezes as shown below : bash-3.2# xm start -c dvd v3.1.2-xvm chgset 'Mon Jun 11 14:56:50 2007 +0100 15634:1a366250feeb' SunOS Release 5.11 Version snv_86 32-bit Copyright 1983-2008 Sun Microsystems, Inc.

Also, is the ramdisk that I've used correct ? Isn't /dvd/boot/x86.microroot supposed to work ? Using x86.microroot ramdisk crashes DOM0! Is that just me using an incorrect ramdisk or it is a problem in the implementation ? Thanks, Sumedha Swamy _______________________________________________ xen-discuss mailing list [email protected]
