Greetings, I followed these instructions:
http://www.cs.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/Installing_in_Xen/index.html for installing plan9 in a Xen domU. It appeared to go swimmingly, until I tried booting the image file after my successful install: 216# xm create -c plan9.py Using config file "./plan9.py". Error: unknown image type: plan9 217# file plan9.img plan9.img: x86 boot sector 218# ls -l plan9.img -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1073741824 2007-07-04 08:56 plan9.img 219# My plan9.py looks like: kernel = "/export/2/Guests/Plan9/9xenpcf.gz" builder = "plan9" memory = 256 name = "plan9" vif = [ 'mac=aa:00:10:00:00:1b, bridge=xen-br0' ] disk = [ 'file:/export/2/Guests/Plan9/plan9.img,loop0,w' ] ip = "10.10.0.9/24" # <- IP you will give to xen9 #restart = 'never' console = 999 # This is the equivalent of plan9.ini: extra=""" nobootprompt=local """ My dom0 is Fedora 7 + Xen 3.1, both compiled with PAE turned off. Apparently, Xen on F7 doesn't recognize the boot image plan9.img, created by the plan9 install. Any hints as to what incantations I may have missed? Thank you, Mike
