Hi all, i am trying to debootstrap dapper distribution on fiesty, but everytime i issue debootstrap command, i get this error message: W: Failure trying to run: chroot /xen-image/mnt mount -t proc proc /proc i followed the following procedure... #>dd if=/dev/zero of=guest_base.img bs=1024k count=2000 //this is to create a file of size approx 2GB that will hold my dapper base #> mkfs.ext3 guest_base.img //this is to format the above file with ext3 partition #>mount -o loop guest_base.img mnt //loopback mounted file #> debootstrap --arch i386 --verbose dapper /xen-image/mnt/ file:/media/cdrom/ubuntu/ After the last command this is the output i get: ************************************************************* I: Retrieving Release I: Retrieving Packages I: Validating Packages I: Resolving dependencies of required packages...

Contents of this logfile are: ************************************************************* ar: /xen-image/mnt/: File format not recognized zcat: stdin: unexpected end of file chroot: cannot run command `mount': No such file or directory ************************************************************* I tried to google this msg and also searched several forums. In this forum also, this problem has been discussed, but i couldn't get the solution. I changed my fiesty debootstrap program to dapper debootstrap program but the error persists. Essentially i am clueless about why is it giving file format no recognized error... If anyone has any idea plzzz share it
It seems that this command is wrong: Code: chroot /xen-image/mnt mount -t proc proc /proc I think it should be something like Code: chroot /xen-image/mnt && mount -t proc proc /proc
to falko: The chroot comman you mentioned is not given by me but is executed by debootstrap program itself...I can't change this command according to what you have specified.... Can you suggest some other alternative?
I tried debootstrapping edgy, it completed successfully, but i got stuck while creating guest domain using following command: xm create baseimage -c It generates following error message: Error 22: Invalid arguments The contents of log generated by xm log are: [2007-09-20 15:43:54 xend.XendDomainInfo 29373] DEBUG (XendDomainInfo:190) XendDomainInfo.create(['vm', ['name', 'xen1.example.com'], ['memory', '128'], ['on_poweroff', 'destroy'], ['on_reboot', 'restart'], ['on_crash', 'restart'], ['vcpus', 1], ['image', ['linux', ['kernel', '/boot/xen-3.gz'], ['ramdisk', '/boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-xen'], ['root', '/dev/sda1 ro']]], ['device', ['vbd', ['uname', 'file:/home/xen/domains/xen1.example.com/disk.img'], ['dev', 'sda1'], ['mode', 'w']]], ['device', ['vbd', ['uname', 'file:/home/xen/domains/xen1.example.com/swap.img'], ['dev', 'sda2'], ['mode', 'w']]], ['device', ['vif', ['ip', '192.168.12.150']]]]) [2007-09-20 15:43:54 xend.XendDomainInfo 29373] DEBUG (XendDomainInfo:296) parseConfig: config is ['vm', ['name', 'xen1.example.com'], ['memory', '128'], ['on_poweroff', 'destroy'], ['on_reboot', 'restart'], ['on_crash', 'restart'], ['vcpus', 1], ['image', ['linux', ['kernel', '/boot/xen-3.gz'], ['ramdisk', '/boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-xen'], ['root', '/dev/sda1 ro']]], ['device', ['vbd', ['uname', 'file:/home/xen/domains/xen1.example.com/disk.img'], ['dev', 'sda1'], ['mode', 'w']]], ['device', ['vbd', ['uname', 'file:/home/xen/domains/xen1.example.com/swap.img'], ['dev', 'sda2'], ['mode', 'w']]], ['device', ['vif', ['ip', '192.168.12.150']]]] [2007-09-20 15:43:54 xend.XendDomainInfo 29373] DEBUG (XendDomainInfo:395) parseConfig: result is {'shadow_memory': None, 'uuid': None, 'on_crash': 'restart', 'on_reboot': 'restart', 'localtime': None, 'image': ['linux', ['kernel', '/boot/xen-3.gz'], ['ramdisk', '/boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-xen'], ['root', '/dev/sda1 ro']], 'on_poweroff': 'destroy', 'bootloader_args': None, 'cpus': None, 'name': 'xen1.example.com', 'backend': [], 'vcpus': 1, 'cpu_weight': None, 'features': None, 'vcpu_avail': None, 'memory': 128, 'device': [('vbd', ['vbd', ['uname', 'file:/home/xen/domains/xen1.example.com/disk.img'], ['dev', 'sda1'], ['mode', 'w']]), ('vbd', ['vbd', ['uname', 'file:/home/xen/domains/xen1.example.com/swap.img'], ['dev', 'sda2'], ['mode', 'w']]), ('vif', ['vif', ['ip', '192.168.12.150']])], 'bootloader': None, 'cpu': None, 'maxmem': None} [2007-09-20 15:43:54 xend.XendDomainInfo 29373] DEBUG (XendDomainInfo:1262) XendDomainInfo.construct: None [2007-09-20 15:43:54 xend.XendDomainInfo 29373] ERROR (__init__:1021) Domain construction failed Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/xen/xend/XendDomainInfo.py", line 194, in create vm.construct() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/xen/xend/XendDomainInfo.py", line 1266, in construct handle = uuid.fromString(self.info['uuid'])) Error: (22, 'Invalid argument') [2007-09-20 15:43:54 xend.XendDomainInfo 29373] DEBUG (XendDomainInfo:1458) XendDomainInfo.destroy: domid=None [2007-09-20 15:43:54 xend 29373] ERROR (__init__:1021) (22, 'Invalid argument') Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/xen/util/xmlrpclib2.py", line 162, in _marshaled_dispatch response = self._dispatch(method, params) File "SimpleXMLRPCServer.py", line 415, in _dispatch return func(*params) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/xen/xend/server/XMLRPCServer.py", line 64, in domain_create info = XendDomain.instance().domain_create(config) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/xen/xend/XendDomain.py", line 228, in domain_create dominfo = XendDomainInfo.create(config) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/xen/xend/XendDomainInfo.py", line 194, in create vm.construct() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/xen/xend/XendDomainInfo.py", line 1266, in construct handle = uuid.fromString(self.info['uuid'])) Error: (22, 'Invalid argument') ******************************************************** Here are the contents of the configuratio file I used to create gues domain(edgy): # -*- mode: python; -*- kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-xen" ramdisk = "/boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-xen" memory = 128 name = "baseimage" #vif = ['bridge=xenbr0'] disk = ['file:/xen-images/guest_base.img,hda1,w','file:/xen-images/guest_base-swap.img,hda2,w'] ip = "192.168.0.101" netmask = "255.255.255.0" gateway = "192.168.0.1" hostname = "baseimage" root = "/dev/hda1 ro" extra = "4" Since dapper is not working for me, I switched to edgy...but it seems this ride iis not going to be smooth. If you have any suggestions regarding this problem, plz let me know. Thanks in advance.
Can you try this in the domain configuration? Code: memory = [B][COLOR="Red"]"[/COLOR][/B]128[B][COLOR="Red"]"[/COLOR][/B] Also, can you try the xm create command without the -c switch?
