problem creating a new domain

[Sanjay Kumar <ksanjay@cc.gatech.edu>]

Hi Folks,
I am using xen1.2.
I create the disk image as described in the Xen2.0 user manual chapter 5.

#dd if=/dev/zero of=vm1disk         bs=1k seek=6144k  count=1
#losetup /dev/loop1 vm1disk
#mkfs -t ext3 /dev/loop1
#mount /dev/loop1 /mnt

#cp -ax /<directory>/  /mnt/         /* I do this instead of copying the 
whole / directory because I don't want some of the directories in Dom 1 */

I modify /mnt/etc/fstab to put /dev/sda1 to root

# umount /dev/loop1

then I put this line in /etc/xc/defaults  (I used a copy of it called dom1)

vbd_list = [ ('phy:loop1','sda1','w' ) ]


After this I try to create the dom1 by saying but I get an error.

#xc_dom_create.py   -D vmid=1 -f dom1
Parsing config file 'dom1'
VM image           : "/boot/xenolinux.gz"
VM ramdisk         : ""
VM memory (MB)     : "64"
VM IP address(es)  : "130.207.98.36; 169.254.1.1"
VM block device(s) : "phy:loop1,sda1,w"
VM cmdline         : 
"ip=130.207.98.36:169.254.1.0:130.207.98.1:255.255.255.0::eth0:off 
root=/dev/sda1 ro 4 VMID=1 usr=/dev/sda6"
Error looking up phy:loop1


Can someone please help me with this error?

Thanks,
Sanjay
