After installing a Xen Lenny on a Xen 5.5 host, the boot-process failed with the following error:
08.07.2009 15:55:47 Error: Starting VM 'vmname' - The bootloader for this VM returned an error -- did the VM installation succeed? Error from bootloader: Return code: 1; Log = Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pygrub", line 719, in ?
raise RuntimeError, "Unable to find partition containing kernel"
RuntimeError: Unable to find partition containing kernel
Cause of this error was, that I changed the root filesystem from ext3 to xfs during setup, which is the better choise for databases with large tables. But obiously Xen doesnt like that.
