I am trying to get Xen running on Fedora 6, which I thought would be easy, but I guess
not. I am using the standard image from jailtime.org and my domU configuration file is
below. I am using the same kernel of the host itself.
------------
kernel = '/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6xen'
ramdisk = '/boot/initrd-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6xen.img'
memory = 512
name = 'test.vm'
vif = ['vifname=vif-test0, mac=aa:00:f6:f4:06:1a']
vnc = 0
vncviewer = 0
serial = 'pty'
disk = ['file:/home/test.vm//root.img,sda1,w',
'file:/home/test.vm//vm.swap,sda2,w']
root = '/dev/sda1 ro'
------------------
Xen filesystem images should be kept in /xen (legacy location) or
/var/lib/xen/images (recommended location) otherwise SELinux will
deny the VM access to the files & the guest will be unable to
mount its filesystem. I suspect this could be what's causing your
VM to not find its root filesystem.
Volume group "VolGroup00" not found
mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root'
