Xen guest installation issue (Squeeze)
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,

[ 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
