Hello, I'm not sure this is the good place for this post, so don't hesitate to move it to the appropriate section if necessary I'm trying to install a debian squeeze on a xenified CentOS. The installation of dom0 wen well and xm list returns correctly. for the domU, I have tried this: -> debootstrap vm.img (on a Debian system) -> copy this image vm.img on the CentOS -> mount it to configure the domU with mount -o loop /vm/vm.img /mnt/image -> chroot on it, (chroot /mnt/image) installation of linux-image -> Copy the initrd and vmlinuz from domU:/boot/ to CentOS:/boot/ -> Put these paths to the vm.cfg configuration file These steps done, I have tried to actually create the domU xm create /etc/xen/vm.cfg -c And the dom0 reboots!!!!?? I really don't know what to this about this. If I follow the same steps, but without installing the linux-image inside the domU, there is a domU-kernel-panic because the system can't find the appropriate filessytem for / Is there any way to achieve what I want, or it is totally impossible? Does anyone have any idea to help me fixing this? Thank you a lot for your help, and don't hesitate to ask for any complementary details I can provide.
Have you tried to create the vm with virt-install, as shown here? http://www.howtoforge.com/paravirtualization-with-xen-on-centos-5.6-x86_64-p2
