It looks like the configuration file is not being updated: name="sled10" uuid="8fb99f09-8f39-c962-180a-3f791ddaf6a7" memory=512 vcpus=1 on_poweroff="destroy" on_reboot="destroy" on_crash="destroy" localtime=0 builder="linux" kernel="/tmp/kernel.GNqfMa" ramdisk="/tmp/install-initrd.DBJthR" extra=" install=http://isos/sled10-sp2-x86_64/ " disk=[ 'file:/var/lib/xen/images/sled10/disk0,xvda,w', ] vif=[ 'mac=00:16:3e:16:ac:2a', ] vfb=['type=vnc,vncunused=1' ] So we modified it to look like this: name="sled10" uuid="8fb99f09-8f39-c962-180a-3f791ddaf6a7" memory=512 vcpus=1 on_poweroff="destroy" on_reboot="destroy" on_crash="destroy" localtime=0 builder="linux" # kernel="/tmp/kernel.GNqfMa" # ramdisk="/tmp/install-initrd.DBJthR" extra=" install=http://isos/sled10-sp2-x86_64/ " disk=[ 'file:/var/lib/xen/images/sled10/disk0,xvda,w', ] vif=[ 'mac=00:16:3e:16:ac:2a', ] vfb=['type=vnc,vncunused=1' ] bootloader="/usr/lib/xen/boot/domUloader.py" bootargs="--entry=xvda2:/boot/vmlinuz-xen,/boot/initrd-xen" Note the last two lines added and the two #'d out. Now the VM can be started and we pick up where we should have left off, with the SLED in the DomU prompting me for the root password. Why would this happen? Tomorrow I plan to do another run from scratch. Today, before each test, I have been deleting /var/lib/xen/images/* and /etc/xen/vm/* but it looks like I also need to delete /var/lib/xenstored/tdb (which I haven't been doing so far). Do you recommend anything else? Should I clear out everything in /var/lib/xend/* for instance? (Note images still uploading to ftp in case you want to look - will probably take at least another couple of hours from the time of this update.) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
