[indiana-discuss] Indiana domU

[Marc Patino Gómez]

Thanks for your answer,

I also have tried to install as a HVM, but the installation program 
hangs and drops a shell prompt, its output is something like that

WARNING: /pci at 0,0/pci-ide1,1/ide at 1,1/ide at 1 (ata1):
    timeout:reset bus, target=0 lun=0

.... live-fs-root failed with exit status 95

So.. If you can post me your configuration file... I think that I have a 
problem with the disk config line, if I put the following line:

disk = [ 
'file:/media/sdb4/in-preview.iso,6:cdrom,r','file:/media/sdb4/indiana.img,0,w' 
]

qemu don't see the disk and cdrom, so I used:

disk = [ 
'file:/media/sdb4/in-preview.iso,hdc:cdrom,r','file:/media/sdb4/indiana.img,hda,w' 
]


Many thanks,

Marc
