Not sure if this is the right thread for this post, so please guide me if
wrong.....
I've just installed RHEL 5 with Virtualisation on a server, and had a
problem creating a RHEL 5 guest.
I've used the Graphical Console all the way, and the Virtual Machine
Manager gui to create the guests, taking as many defaults as I can just to
see what it turns out like.
When I created a guest on /dev/sdb it appeared to work OK right up till the
point I had to "xm create /etc/xen/guest1" and I got an error saying it
couldn't read the filesystem.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /]# xm create -c /etc/xen/guest1
Using config file "/etc/xen/guest1".
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pygrub", line 497, in ?
g = Grub(file, isconfig)
File "/usr/bin/pygrub", line 152, in __init__
self.read_config(file, isconfig)
File "/usr/bin/pygrub", line 350, in read_config
raise RuntimeError, "Unable to read filesystem"
RuntimeError: Unable to read filesystem
No handlers could be found for logger "xend"
Error: Boot loader didn't return any data!
I then tried again, using /dev/sdc2 this time, and again using /dev/sdj1
and it all worked perfectly both times, so this points to the partitioning.
Are there any guidelines for how best to partition a xen host?
RHEL5 seems to create "/" using LVM by default - is this getting in the
way? The server I am installing on has two internal disks and several
external.
