Hi, I'm trying to use xen for the first time. This box is running a recent install of Lenny.
I've reading web howtos, the man pages and user.pdf, so it could be that I am mixing and matching too much and not following the debian way, but here goes: # time xm create -c config.mabelle_vm /ramdisk=/boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-xen-686 Using config file "/etc/xen/config.mabelle_vm". Error: Device 769 (vbd) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working. real 1m44.306s user 0m0.748s sys 0m0.200s >From my googling I'M guessing that vbd stands for "virtual block device" # cat /etc/xen/config.mabelle_vm # -*- mode: python; -*- kernel="/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-xen-686" memory=128 name="mabelle_vm" disk=[' phy:/dev/Bun_vg/mabelleSys_lv,hda1,w','phy:/dev/Bun_vg/mabelleSwap_lv,hda2,w'] hostname="mabelle" root="/dev/hda1 ro" extra="2" # ls -l /dev/mapper/Bun_vg-mabelle* brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 9 2009-04-25 21:23 /dev/mapper/Bun_vg-mabelleSwap_lv brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 8 2009-04-25 20:03 /dev/mapper/Bun_vg-mabelleSys_lv # mount [irrelevant stuff deleted] /dev/mapper/Bun_vg-mabelleSys_lv on /mnt type ext3 (rw) # cat /mnt/etc/fstab # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0 # lsmod | grep "udev\|hotplug" pci_hotplug 24228 1 shpchp # dpkg -l udev Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Cfg-files/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ ii udev 0.125-7+lenny1 /dev/ and hotplug management daemon # ps -eHF | grep udev UID PID PPID C SZ RSS PSR STIME TTY TIME CMD root 849 1 0 568 848 0 Apr25 ? 00:00:01 udevd --daemon Thanks for any suggestions. gc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
