I'm trying to install Leap 15.[12] in a xen DomU, but the creation of the installation keeps failing. This is just booting a guest with the loader kernel and initrd. Absolutely nothing unusual.
After a few attempts and having enabled more and more unintelligible debug output, in desperation I thought I would try Leap 42.3 instead, and it worked!
Does this ring a bell with anyone?
I have just tried to boot a copy of an SLES12SP5 system - failed with the same error.
xenconsole: Could not read tty from store: No such file or directory libxl: error: libxl_exec.c:118:libxl_report_child_exitstatus: console child [0] exited with error status 2
This in itself doesn't say much, only that the guest could not be started.
Tumbleweed installation as Xen DomU - same issue.
Booting : http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/boot/x86_64/loader/initrd http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/boot/x86_64/loader/linux
What am I missing ?
Somewhere I've seen reports that recent kernels can't boot xen. Sorry, I don't use Xen so I've no idea what the problem is or where I saw it. A quick google shows various possiblities.
