Some question/comments inline.
i *can* login, but ...
A normal login prompt?
this is what eventually is displayed at the end of console output: "fsck failed for at lease one filesystem (not /). Please repair manually and reboot. The root file system is is already mounted read-write. Attention: Only CONTROL-D will reboot the system in this maintenance mode. Shutdown or reboot will not work. Give root passwod for login:" I enter the password ... "if: Expression Syntax. (none) /root # (none) /root # ls -ald /var /boot drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 Dec 19 18:20 /var drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 19 18:12 /boot (none) /root # ls /boot (none) /root #
Is it that boot is not mounted? try mount /boot
(none) /root # (none) /root # mount /boot "EXT3-fs: unable to read superblock mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/md0" (none) /root # (none) /root # reboot ... which, despite the admonition above, DOES work ...
Can you use these instructions to capture the serial output? http://en.opensuse.org/How_to_Capture_Xen_Hypervisor_and_Kernel_Messages_usi...
Working on it now ... digging for cables, etc. Might take a bit ...
xend can't start on a non-xen kernel, it doesn't have /proc/xen/* etc.
Hm ... then, I've clearly misread this: http://en.opensuse.org/Installing_Xen3 "... Next you can activate the Xen daemon: /etc/init.d/xend start insserv –d xend Finally you have to reboot your system: reboot ..." which seems to me to imply that 'xend' can be started before rebooting into the xen kernel ... Fair enough.
The real question is: where is it erroring out... The captured output requested above may help shed some light.
Will follow-up here when I've figured out the serial connection etc. Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+help@opensuse.org
