I'm trying to create a LiveCD with a xen enabled kernel (kernel-xen). I'm using livecd-tools 013 (the last compatible version with CentOS5). Creating a regular LiveCD works fine but I'm having trouble with the Xen LiveCD.
The following files are created under the isolinux directory: > boot.cat > initrd0.img > isolinux.bin > isolinux.cfg > mboot.c32 > splash.jpg > vesamenu.c32 > vmlinuz0 > xen0.gz Here is the relevant content of isolinux.cfg: > default vesamenu.c32 > timeout 100 > > [...] > > label linux0 > menu label Xen LiveCD > kernel mboot.c32 > append xen0.gz --- vmlinuz0 --- initrd0.img root=CDLABEL=xen > rootfstype=iso9660 ro quiet liveimg > menu default And here is the boot messages I get: > [...] > NET: Registered protocol family 17 > Using IP] No-Shortcut mod > Freeing unused kernel memory: 176k freed > Write protecting the kernel read-only data: 383k > 4gb seg fixup, process init (pid 1), cs:ip 73:00xxxxxx > 4gb seg fixup, process init (pid 1), cs:ip 73:00xxxxxx > 4gb seg fixup, process init (pid 1), cs:ip 73:00xxxxxx > [...] > 4gb seg fixup, process init (pid 1), cs:ip 73:00xxxxxx > kernel commandline: > fstab suggests root=/dev/mapper/livecd-rw > fstab suggests rootflags=defaults,noatime > fstab suggests rootfstype=ext3 > init=/sbin/init > root=/dev/mapper/livecd-rw > rootflags=defaults,noatime > rootfstype=ext3 > root_ro=0 > root_rw=0 > SCSI subsystem initialized > loop: loaded (max 16 devices) > starting udevd > creating devices > input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /class/input/input0 > hdc: ATAPI 1X CD-ROM drive, 32kB Cache, UDMA(33) > Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20 > input: ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse as /class/input/input1 > waiting for system to settle > no root yet, udev rule will write symlink... > > waiting up to 60 seconds before dropping to emergency shell. > [...] > .....printk: 2869 messages suppressed. > 4gb seg fixup, process init (pid 1), cs:ip 73:009f337c > > -------------------------------------- > WARNING: Cannot find root file system! > -------------------------------------- > > Create symlink /dev/root and then exit this shell to continue > the boot sequence. > > bash: no job control in this shell > bash 3.2# Anyone has a clue about what is going wrong with this Xen LiveCD?
