Hi, I'm having trouble installing a fedora f20 guest on a centos5 host, I
previously had a working f16 guest, so I guess I want to know if this is
possible or not.
virt-install seems to work ok as before, but then the reboot fails with this
error:
Error starting domain: POST operation failed: xend_post: error from xen
daemon: (xend.err "Error creating domain: Boot loader didn't return any data!")
I've tried formatting /boot as ext2 and ext3 with the same result, now I'm out
of ideas. Here is my virt-install command:
virt-install --paravirt --name honk --ram 2048 --disk \
path=/dev/VolGroup02/LogVol12 --vnc --location \
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/20/Fedora/x86_64/os/
F20 as a paravirt guest should work, but I think nowadays most people are
using fullvirt xen, so maybe paravirt isn't tested as much with new distros.
I'm just guessing though
Regardless, you'll probably have to dig in xen logs to or do some googling to
find more info: I don't have any idea. It's very unlikely to be a
virt-install/libvirt issue though
Sorry, I thought this email went to the upstream virt-manager list, hence I
was focusing on that :)
RHEL5 xen is an old frankenstein monster at this point as well, so could be a
xen issue that just hasn't been backported.
CCing fedora xen list as well, maybe they have ideas.
I would need to see more logs to be sure, but I would guess pygrub is
missing at least one update and this one
http://xenbits.xenproject.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=commit;h=d513814db6af2b298b8776d7ffc5fb1261e176f4http://xenbits.xenproject.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=commit;h=d513814db6af2b298b8776d7ffc5fb1261e176f4
is a possibility. You could test if it is pygrub by running directly - in
your case try
/usr/bin/pygrub /dev/VolGroup02/LogVol12
as root - it should give you a choice of kernels and return the details
for the one you pick.
