Hello, All,
I wanted to boot up a installed CentOS but failed.
host: windows xp sp2, installed on IDE hdd.
virtualbox: 2.1.4
CentOS was installed on the 1st primary partition of a SATA hdd which
is identified as \\.\physicaldrive0 under windows xp.
C:\Program Files\Sun\xVM VirtualBox>VBoxManage.exe internalcommands listpartitio
ns -rawdisk \\.\physicaldrive0
VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 2.1.4

4 0x07 1023/0 /1 1023/254/63 104948 410203710
I created a vmdk to use the whole sata disk
C:\Program Files\Sun\xVM VirtualBox>VBoxManage.exe internalcommands createrawvmd
k -filename f:\virtualbox\sata0.vmdk -rawdisk \\.\physicaldrive0 -register
The I created a VM booting from the vmdk above, but only got a black
screen and the VM paused.
The grub.conf of CentOS is as following:
default=2
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd1,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title CentOS (2.6.18-53.el5xen)
root (hd1,0)
kernel /boot/xen.gz-2.6.18-53.el5
module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.el5xen ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet
module /boot/initrd-2.6.18-53.el5xen.img
title CentOS-base (2.6.18-53.el5)
root (hd1,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.el5 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-53.el5.img
title Other //this is the
entry to boot up win xp, the vbox host
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
What steps or settings did I missed ?
Regards,
Robert
