http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=552774 Summary: vm-install cannot finish openSUSE installation Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: RC 2 Platform: Other OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Xen AssignedTo: jdouglas@novell.com ReportedBy: nice@titanic.nyme.hu QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.4) Gecko/20091016 SUSE/3.5.4-1.1.2 Firefox/3.5.4 Installation from network works fin until the first reboot, when instead of rebooting vm-install complains something about a missing kernel, while the detailed error message notifies me that "Boot loader didn't return any data". My suspicion is that domUloader.py cannot correctly handle the default GRUB layout of the freshly installed domU. One major problem is that when installing a guest openSUSE11.2 by vm-install from network, its /boot/grub/menu.lst specifies the NON-XEN kernel as default! After fixing this by hand (mounting the domU's disk in dom0) the domain configuration created by vm-install is still unable to load the domU, but manually creating a pygrub based entry helps to finish the installation: name="xentemp112-64" uuid="7b77d277-e99a-e25b-3652-61e936f78ab0" memory=1024 vcpus=1 on_poweroff="destroy" on_reboot="restart" on_crash="destroy" on_xend_start = "ignore" on_xend_stop = "shutdown" localtime=0 keymap="en-us" builder="linux" bootloader = "/usr/bin/pygrub" root="/dev/xvda3" disk=[ 'phy:/dev/mapper/openSUSE111-64,xvda,w' ] vif=[ 'mac=00:16:3e:0b:e9:60,bridge=br0' ] vfb=['type=vnc,vncdisplay=40'] BTW, the domU's disk layout, wich might affect domUloader.py was the following in this case: /dev/xvda1 /boot ext2 /dev/xvda2 swap swap /dev/xvda3 / ext4 /dev/xvda5 /tmp ext4 /dev/xvda6 /var/log ext4 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start installing openSUSE11.2 on openSUSE11.2 (from HTTP). 2. Create a partition layout with a separate bootable boot partition (this may not be necessary?) 3. Wait for the first reboot during installation Actual Results: It wont't be able to reboot. Expected Results: It should be able to reboot (specifying the xen kernel as default and possibly using pygrub instead of domUloader.py). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
