Hello, when i follow the "The Perfect Xen 3.1.0 Setup For Debian Etch (i386)" everything works fine untill i get to this : # mkinitrd.yaird -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-xen 2.6.18-xen when i use that command i get the following error : yaird error: block device '/dev/hda1' unavailable (/etc/fstab:5) (fatal) been looking on google, but cant find someone with the same error, so i'm hoping any of you guys know ? Greets, Ferry.
Looks like either your fstab file isn't setup correctly, or you are trying to use a partition that doesn't exist. Could you post the /etc/fstab file and the output of fdisk -l (L)? Thanks.
/etc/fstab Code: # /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/hda5 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/hdd /media/cdrom0 iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0 fdisk -l Code: Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80032038912 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9730 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 9400 75505468+ 83 Linux /dev/sda2 9401 9730 2650725 5 Extended /dev/sda5 9401 9730 2650693+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
Did you use some sort of guide to setup fstab? Because it looks as though it's been setup for use on a different system. All your drives are sda (sata I think?) too tired to elaborate on what you'd need right now...but I can in the morning if nobody else catches it. Thanks.
Thanks for your help sofar. the system is installed fresh (about a year ago) updated from sarge to etch few days ago. the kernel was originally made on a other server, but the hardware is identical.
Ok I think this is what you need, the only thing i'm not too sure about is /dev/sda1...does that mount to /boot? I assume so because that partition is the only bootable one. Code: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/sda1 /boot ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/sda5 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/sda2 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 Thanks.
yes i changed the fstab now and the install works only now i'm walking into this error, when i create a new image and try to start it i get : Error: Unable to connect to xend: No such file or directory. Is xend running? ps gives : Code: # ps aux | grep xen root 13 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S< 02:03 0:00 [xenwatch] root 14 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S< 02:03 0:00 [xenbus] root 3254 0.0 0.0 2096 812 ?

nope, no error messages, it also runs according to ps. altho it seems it gets a permission error at some point, but doesn't crash because of it.
yes i tried to restart it with root, also rebooted the machine multiple times now. ls -l /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp gives : Code: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7028 2007-05-18 16:38 /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp

Seems ok. I can't find a solution on the internet. This guy had the same problem and reinstalled Xen, now it's working: http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2007-03/msg00425.html
