[Xen-users] help with "error extent to vbd failed: ... error 8"

[Sascha Retzki <sretzki@xxxxxx>]

Good morning everybody,


I get a:
Error: Adding extent to vbd failed: device (vbd (uname 
file:/xen/slackware-linux-10/linu.img) (dev hda1) (mode w)), error 8

What is "error 8"? Where are those error-codes listed?


My linux.conf:
kernel="/xen/slackware-linux-10/vmlinuz-install" # <- the one from Xen
memory=64
name="Linux" # <- is it right that this cannot have white-spaces in it?
cpu=-1
nics=-1
restart="never"

disk = [ 'file:/xen/slackware-linux-10/linux.img,hda1,w' ,
        'phy:/dev/cd0a,hdc1,r' ]
root=/dev/hdc1 ro"

[EOF]

My plan was to boot a slackware installation CD via the phy:/ directive,
which then installs on /dev/hda1, which is in real a 4,5 GB huge image
full of /dev/zero. 

(Is that even possible?)

My dom0-OS is NetBSD 3.0_BETA, btw. This may explain a lot, still I'd
like to have as much detailed information as possible ;) 


With best regards,


Sascha Retzki
