Hi,
I’ve updated my VPS to Wheezy. Unfortunately, I can’t get it to boot.
Xen console returns
Booting instance: travelkazoo
Using config file "/etc/xen/travelkazoo.conf".
Error: Boot loader didn't return any data!
I booted into rescue, mounted my root partition, chrooted, mounted /sys, /proc, and /dev/pts, and tried to figure out where I went wrong.
I am not very familiar with xen - am I supposed to run xm create in /etc/xen? My previous squeeze system’s backups do not have a travelkazoo.conf file in /etc/xen. xm create /etc/xen/travelkazoo.conf doesn’t work. xend does not exist, even though I have xen-linux-system-686-pae installed, which is supposed to include it. So it obviously cannot run.
xen utils installed is version 4.1, as is xen-hypervisor-4.1-i386 (arch is i386). update-grub2 works fine, /boot/grub2/grub.cfg exists and looks plausible, I’ve moved /etc/grub.d/10_linux to 50_linux so 20_linux_xen is first in line once I run update-grub2. I’ve been searching like mad and can’t seem to find anything else to try.
Can someone please give me a hint what I’m missing, or do I need to reinstall squeeze from scratch and restore from backup? :(
