Re: Error creating domain in RHEL5 dom0_min_mem

["Deependra Shekhawat" <jeevanullas@xxxxxxxxx>]

Okay. I got the last error about *hotplug scripts not working* fixed. What I figured out was that whenever I tried to create a new VM using virt-install the network device it was looking was xenbr0 which was not present at that time. The reason for that was I was using eth1 (for my wireless) and at that time xenbr1 was present. I don't know why virt-install always try to use xenbr0 when it should use the one which is available that is xenbr1 in this case. Well I disabled my wireless and used my ethernet (eth0) and rebooted. It started out.
Now I am having a problem while installing the domU. It hangs during the installation process where it says
"Starting install process. This may take several minutes to start" (this comes when I am finished up with all my stuff).
I don't know the reason why it is coming. Is it because I am using a nfs source. nfs:192.168.2.31:/dvd/actual. Also note here that I have mounted my RHEL5-Client dvd on /dvd/actual. Well I have tried both ways GUI and console and all the time it hangs during this process. I don't think it's a problem of my nfs otherwise it would have not reached till here.
If there is a solution to the above problem it's really appreicated. Otherwise if someone can tell me how do I boot from iso image using virt-install it will also be helpful.

Looking forward for a quick reply.

Regards

i have had that problem also.
my system is equipped with only 512 MB RAM, but i got it fixed:

under /etc/xen look in the file *xen-config.sxp*
at line 124 you see (domain-min-mem 256)

i adjusted it to 128 and booted *without* the bootparameter dom0_mem=...

my script, to save some keying:

#!/bin/bash

virt-install -n xen1 -r 256 --vcpus=1 -f ./xen.img -s 3.5 --nographics
-p -d -l " http://sunsite.mff.cuni.cz/pub/fedora/test/6.91/Prime/i386/os/"


adjust it to your needs: see virt-install --help

as far i can remember: this script will ask for the mirror anyway.
'don't know why.
minor problem !
