What is on /dev/cciss/c0d5p1? It is marked bootable, so the bootloader must be able to find a xen kernel/initrd on that partition.

This is a extended partition with 4 logical partitions c0d5p5 --> c0d5p8. This extended partition use all the disk. The disks are on an hardware raid 5 unit (see as 8 physical disks c0d0--> c0d7) I use the partition c0d5p7 as /, c0d5p6 as /var and c0d5p5 as /home In the XEN VM definition the disk used is defined as c0d5. In the grub option I tried the set the boorloader on the MBR, the root partition,or the extended partition but this gives every time the same error Regards Philippe -- 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.

When installing the guest, is it possible to slice c0d5 with 4 primary partitions? E.g. c0d5p1 swap, c0d5p2 as /, c0d5p3 as /var, and c0d5p4 as /home? Or at least have 1 primary partition with /boot? AFAICT, pygrub won't work with your configuration. It simply looks for valid partitions at offsets 446, 462, 478, 494 in the MBR, and then looks for a kernel/initrd in the valid partitions (looking in the one marked bootable first). It does not execute any boot code in the MBR. -- 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.
