Hi, I'm trying to install Debian Squeeze as a Xen (paravirt) guest on an openSUSE 11.4 host.
I'm loading the Xen netinst kernel along with the netinst initrd which correctly start the installer I'm connecting to using "xm console GUEST". When the installer tries to detect the disks I get the following output: [ 173.233735] Process xenwatch (pid: 12, threadinfo ffff88003fe04000, task ffff88003fddce20) [ 173.233746] Stack: [ 173.233752] 0000000000000001 ffff8800027ed858 ffff8800027ed800 ffff8800027ed800 [ 173.233768] <0> ffff8800027ed800 ffff8800026c11a0 ffff8800027ed858 ffff880002038000 [ 173.233788] <0> 0000000000000000 ffffffff81180e8e 0000000000000000 ffff8800027ed800 [ 173.233811] Call Trace: [ 173.233823] [<ffffffff81180e8e>] ? blk_register_queue+0xbe/0xcc [ 173.233836] [<ffffffff81184c89>] ? add_disk+0xb8/0x108 [ 173.233850] [<ffffffffa000f224>] ? backend_changed+0x44e/0x468 [xen_blkfront] [ 173.233865] [<ffffffff811f1c8f>] ? xenwatch_thread+0x117/0x14a [ 173.233878] [<ffffffff81065042>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x2e [ 173.233890] [<ffffffff811f1b78>] ? xenwatch_thread+0x0/0x14a [ 173.233902] [<ffffffff81064d75>] ? kthread+0x79/0x81 [ 173.233913] [<ffffffff81011baa>] ? child_rip+0xa/0x20 [ 173.233925] [<ffffffff81010d61>] ? int_ret_from_sys_call+0x7/0x1b [ 173.233937] [<ffffffff8101151d>] ? retint_restore_args+0x5/0x6 [ 173.233950] [<ffffffff8100e22f>] ? xen_restore_fl_direct_end+0x0/0x1 [ 173.233963] [<ffffffff81011ba0>] ? child_rip+0x0/0x20 [ 173.233971] Code: 41 5d c3 41 57 49 89 d7 41 56 41 55 49 89 fd 41 54 55 53 48 83 ec 18 48 85 ff 89 74 24 04 74 0b 85 f6 75 0b 48 83 7f 30 00 75 14 <0f> 0b eb fe 48 83 7f 30 00 bb ea ff ff ff 0f 84 03 01 00 00 49 [ 173.234105] RIP [<ffffffff81141dd7>] internal_create_group+0x28/0x15a [ 173.234120] RSP <ffff88003fe05d30> [ 173.234129] ---[ end trace e52b5afb691890a0 ]--- [ 178.140021] XENBUS: Waiting for devices to initialise: 295s...290s...285s...280s...275s... After a long timeout the partitioner starts up but only shows two of the three configured disks which is where I cannot proceed since I need the third partition. Any idea what's wrong? openSUSE 11.4 is running Xen 4.0.2 and kernel 2.6.37.6 The xen config has: kernel="/root/xenboot/squeeze-vmlinuz" ramdisk="/root/xenboot/squeeze-initrd.gz" extra=" debian-installer/exit/always_halt=true -- console=hvc0" disk=[ 'phy:system/squeeze_root,hda,w', 'phy:system/squeeze_swap,hdb,w', 'phy:system/squeeze_var,hdc,w' ] Thanks for any hint, Wolfgang -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
