Posted this on the citrix forums, maybe I can get some help from the [H]orde instead.
I'm having a hard time to get linux guests to run under my default install of xenserver 5.6 fp1. I can get windows guests to run with no problem but when I create a EL-based VM and try to boot, I get the following errors in order. I've tried google and get mixed results with no real answers.
Internal error: XenguestHelper.Xc_dom_linux_build_failure(2, " xc_dom_parse_elf_kernel: ELF image has no shstrtab\\\\n\\\"")
If I try to start the VM again, I get a different error:
WARNING: /dev/xvda is not a disk image - Traceback (most recent call last): - File "/usr/bin/pygrub", line 746, in ? - raise RuntimeError, "Unable to find partition containing kernel" - RuntimeError: Unable to find partition containing kernel
I built the VM using the supplied templates for CentOS 5.5 (64-bit) and I cannot even get to the OS installation as the VM will not boot. I can launch the VM in recovery mode and have no issues there.
I've seen some posts about using the xe-edit-bootloader command on the VM to set the partition as bootable but I haven't had any success doing this.
I can provide more details as needed.
Thanks!
