I just tried pvgrub with a single-partition host: kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/pv-grub-x86_64.gz" extra = "(hd0,0)/boot/grub/menu.lst" root = "/dev/sda1 ro" extra = "xencons=tty console=tty" memory = 512 maxmem = 1024 name = "cendrillon" uuid = "46b9ff12-7ceb-4139-bbff-47117e650f25" disk = [ 'phy:/dev/iscsi/sn.101200926/lun9/part1,sda1,w' ] vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:00:00:1a, bridge=hebergement' ] However, it can't read menu.lst file. And any attempt to load it interactively fails: grubdom> configfile (hd0,0)/boot/grub/menu.lst Error 5: Partition table invalid or corrupt The messages seems to imply pvgrub expect to read a partition table, meaning a whole disk has to be exported to the virtual host, and not a single partition ? -- Guillaume Rousse Service des Moyens Informatiques INRIA Saclay - Ile de France Tel: 01 69 35 69 62
