Description Felix Richter 2010-01-12 17:12:18 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; de; rv:1.9.1.6) Gecko/20091201 SUSE/3.5.6-1.1.1 Firefox/3.5.6

I have two x64 machines, one running 11.0, one 11.2. On both machines, I can do a fresh install of a Xen VM with the help of vm-install using a 11.1 x64 ISO image just fine. However, again on both machines, when I want to install from an 11.2 DVD iso, vm-install gives "kernel not found". MD5 of the ISO file was checked, no problem. The same happens with an 11.2 NET ISO file.

This is a typical VM configuration produced by vm-install:

name="opensuse11-1"
uuid="16aac92a-1705-6a7e-4715-ef3561b3397c"
memory=512
maxmem=512
vcpus=1
on_poweroff="destroy"
on_reboot="destroy"
on_crash="destroy"
localtime=0
keymap="en-us"
builder="linux"
kernel="/tmp/kernel.wstdnU"
ramdisk="/tmp/install-initrd.vBQfj9"
extra=" install=hd:/dev/xvdb "
disk=[ 'file:/var/lib/xen/images/opensuse11-1/disk0,xvda,w', 'file:/mnt/store/xenpark/distro-isos/openSUSE-11.2-DVD-x86_64.iso,xvdb:cdrom,r', ]
vif=[ 'bridge=br0', ]
vfb=['type=vnc,vncunused=1']

I will add relevant xend.log output as an attachment.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 2 Jason Douglas 2010-01-12 18:21:09 UTC

This issue has been fixed but the fix was not incorporated into the installation media. 

One workaround is to install the VM from a network install source.  Another alternative is to attach your ISO to the VM as a read-only hard disk instead of a virtual CD device.
