I am doing a clean install on a new ssd disk while my old installation
is still running. The first installation was messed up so I decided
to start again on the zen console.
I ran install ubuntu_trusty, went through the installation procedure,
formatted the drives, no encryption, used only the basic server and
opensshd options, watched it shutdown and then ran the boot command.
This it what it gave me:
xen-shell> status
Guest: Shutdown
xen-shell> boot
Booting instance: simpee
Parsing config from /etc/xen/simpee.conf
libxl: error: libxl_bootloader.c:628:bootloader_finished: bootloader
failed - consult logfile /var/log/xen/bootloader.113.log
libxl: error: libxl_exec.c:118:libxl_report_child_exitstatus:
bootloader [-1] exited with error status 1
libxl: error: libxl_create.c:1022:domcreate_rebuild_done: cannot
(re-)build domain: -3
libxl: error: libxl_dom.c:35:libxl__domain_type: unable to get domain
type for domid=113
Unable to attach console
libxl: error: libxl_exec.c:118:libxl_report_child_exitstatus: console
child [0] exited with error status 1
xen-shell> status
Guest: Shutdown
xen-shell>
Just to be sure I repeated the install twice with the same result. The
first installation did boot up with a similar error message but I
could not log in after booting
It might be because the new IP address 85.119.83.139 has not been
updated in the DNS records. Maybe I missed something in in the
installation options?
Then I tried to work out what was going on using the Bitfolk Rescue
Environment. This gave me a 'Rescue' login prompt. It is not clear
which user name and password it needs but I tried both the Bitfolk and
Ubuntu users but could not log in.
Can anyone give me any pointers?
