Hello,

I saw your email on the FAI mailinglist regarding Xen and FAI.
I'm trying to use FAI to install a Xen virtual machine.

I already have a working FAI install server.

This is my xen domain config file:

kernel="/home/xen/domU/vmlinuz-2.6.10-xenU"
builder='linux'
memory = 128
name = "zalm"
nics=1
vif = [ 'mac=aa:00:00:77:40:36, bridge=subnet10']
disk=['file:/home/xen/zalm-root,sda1,w']
dhcp="dhcp"
root = "/dev/nfs"
nfs_server = '10.1.39.84'
nfs_root   = '/usr/lib/fai/nfsroot'



When creating the Xen domain:
...
IP-Config: Incomplete network configuration information.
Looking up port of RPC 100003/2 on 10.1.39.84
RPC: sendmsg returned error 101
portmap: RPC call returned error 101
Root-NFS: Unable to get nfsd port number from server, using default
Looking up port of RPC 100005/1 on 10.1.39.84

RPC: sendmsg returned error 101

Root-NFS: Server returned error -101 while mounting /usr/lib/fai/nfsroot
VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy.
VFS: Cannot open root device "nfs" or unknown-block(2,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(2,0)


Any idea's?  Or should I go to the Xen mailinglists?

Thanks in advance,

Rudy
