[Fedora-xen] Problem Installing Fedora 7 as a Guest on Xen machine

[Samad, Alex]

Hi

I have run into a problem installing fedora 7 as a guest on a Xen
machine.

The host machine is a amd64 - Debian lenny install. Running
2.6.20-1-xen-amd64

xm info

I have downloaded the fedora 7 DVD, I have extracted the xen vmlinuz and
zen initrd.img

This is my fedora7.cfg
#

#  Kernel + memory size

#

kernel      = '/etc/xen/data/fedora7/vmlinuz'

ramdisk     = '/etc/xen/data/fedora7/initrd.img'

memory      = '1024'

extra           = 'pnpacpi=off sync_console vnc vncpassword=qwerty text
vncconnect=16.144.29.11'                                               
#bootloader     = '/usr/lib/xen-3.0.3-1/bin/pygrub'

 

#

#  Disk device(s).

#

disk        = [ 'phy:vglocal/fedora7-disk,xvda,w' ]

 

#

#  Hostname

#

name        = 'fedora7'


#
#  Networking
#
dhcp        = 'dhcp'
#vif         = [ 'type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0' ]
vif         = [ '' ]

#
#  Behaviour
#
on_poweroff = 'destroy'
on_reboot   = 'restart'
on_crash    = 'restart'


serial = "pty"
localtime = 0
vcpus = 2


I tried something similar with RHEL5 and it worked, fedora7 is getting
stuck

I not sure what is mean to come after here for me to guess where it
might be getting stuck.  Can any one provide any hints or know what is
going wrong.  Maybe there is a mis match of the xen versions ???

Thanks
Alex
