I am trying to run a CentOS DomU on Debian Dom0 . I created a VM using QEMU and it boots fine.(Except network connectivity)
Now for Debian Dom0 I created the new_centOS.cfg added following
bootloader = “/usr/lib/xen-3.2-1/bin/pygryb” (there was no softlink from /usr/lib/xen-3.2-1/bin/pygryb to /usr/bin) boot = “c”
full file uploaded here http://pastebin.com/daeGSSpS
and then tried to boot got an error
openworld:/etc/xen# xm create new_centOS.cfg Using config file “./new_centOS.cfg”. Error: Bootloader isn’t executable about the above error on this link http://wiki.debian.org/Xen#A.22Error.3ABootloaderisn.27texecutable.22 some information was but it did not helped.As what they were saying I had already done.
Then checked this link http://strugglers.net/~andy/blog/2008/01/20/red-hat-based-linux-under-xen-from-debian-etch/
I did usr/lib/xen-3.0.3-1/bin/pygrub /dev/virtualization/centos5-disk xvda
I get a brub screen . A snapshot for the pygrub booting can be seen here http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4006/4626021351_d1a6f9c014_b.jpg
But it fails to boot.
Giving following message.
Traceback (most recent call last): File “./pygrub”, line 657, in dir=”/var/run/xend/boot”) File “/usr/lib/python2.5/tempfile.py”, line 302, in mkstemp return _mkstemp_inner(dir, prefix, suffix, flags) File “/usr/lib/python2.5/tempfile.py”, line 236, in _mkstemp_inner fd = _os.open(file, flags, 0600) OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘/var/run/xend/boot/boot_kernel.je5fbt’
I searched this but it did not gave me a single search result http://www.google.co.in/search?sourceid=chrome&client=ubuntu&channel=cs&ie=UTF-8&q=OSError:+[Errno+2]+No+such+file+or+directory:+‘/var/run/xend/boot/boot_kernel.je5fbt’
what can I check next ? Vm is booting fine with QEMU.

Shouldn’t that be pygrub?
I do not understand why it happens that Debian’s user experience is more than frustrating. I am finally wiping out all Debian installations from my server. Assuming that I am not good at Linux or Xen or what ever it is I will switch to some other commercial Linux distribution. If you try to do any thing on Debian in a production environment its just useless.

As a general rule, not being able to solve a problem leads to frustation. However, the conclusion you reach at is not in any way following but a subjective *logic*.
BTW, you actually checked the permissions on that bootloader, didn’t you?
Good luck anyway.
Please don’t top post!

I believe you have misunderstood me. I mean that instead of *typing* the errors out by long hand copy the error using the mouse and past it into your email/bug report. You could instead use the “script” command. This eliminates the problems which typing out errors can cause.

Hello Tapas,
In case you are still reading this list, you might want to try this¹ tool. It is used to bootstrap RPM-based distros in Debian+Xen. CentOS 5 is listed as supported. Maybe you reconsider your decision, and give Squeeze a try? You could even try latest xen version²

Regards.
P.S. I Cc-ed you, just to be sure you get this, sorry O:-)
Yes I am reading.I had tried that tool also before posting this question here.
