[xenpreview-dev] can't boot existing sles10 domu using sles10 sp1

[Krysan, Susan]

On x86_86 machine, I have a sles10 domu that was created using sles10
gmc and want to start it and then eventually upgrade it to sp1.  When I
start it using xm create, I get this warning and error:

 

Warning: The bootentry option is deprecated. Use bootargs and pass
--entry= directly.

Copy kernel /boot/vmlinuz-xen from hda2 to
/var/lib/xen/tmp/kernel.j80EnN for booting

Error: Had a bootloader specified, but can't find disk

 

My config file is:

disk = [ 'file:/home/unisys/sles10-master.img,sda,w' ]

memory = 256

vcpus = 4

builder = 'linux'

name = 'testmaster'

vif = [ '' ]

ip = '10.0.75.100'

netmask = '255.254.0.0'

localtime = 0

on_poweroff = 'destroy'

on_reboot = 'restart'

on_crash = 'restart'

extra = ' TERM=xterm'

bootloader = '/usr/lib/xen/boot/domUloader.py'

bootentry = 'hda2:/boot/vmlinuz-xen,/boot/initrd-xen'

 

I tried replacing the bootentry statement with:

bootargs -entry = 'hda2:/boot/vmlinuz-xen,/boot/initrd-xen'

 

But then get an error on that line indicating it is invalid.  What
should the syntax of the bootargs statement be?  Since the deprecation
message was only I warning I changed the bootargs statement back to the
bootentry statement and continued trying to get the domu to boot.

 

Any ideas why it can't find the disk?  

Df shows:

Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on

/dev/sda2            154138904  10644496 143494408   7% /

udev                   1952024       204   1951820   1% /dev

So I tried changing the hda2 on the bootentry statement to sda2 and then
the boot hangs waiting for device hda2.

 

Any help would be appreciated since I cannot get any further.

 

Thanks,
