All,
I've had a heck of a time getting Fedora 16 to run as a guest VM under CentOS 5.7 host as a paravirtualized Xen guest. I believe the issue has something to do with Fedora 16 using grub2...
When I attempt to start the VM (via xm create), I get this error:
Using config file "/etc/xen/fedora-workstation". Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/pygrub", line 686, in ? fs = fsimage.open(file, get_fs_offset(file)) IOError: [Errno 95] Operation not supported No handlers could be found for logger "xend" Error: Boot loader didn't return any data!
Just adding the info here.. Latest Xen pygrub in centos 5.8 properly supports grub2 and Fedora 16/17 PV domUs, with and without GPT partitioned disk.
Also there's the "nogpt" boot option for Fedora 16+ installer to force it to create MSDOS partition table instead of GPT.
