Thanks Mr. Stefan

Will that crash mainly be due to the kernel ? Since am not sure about that,else I should try with different image.

When I use via a config file using "xm create libvirt-ttylinux.conf ", then the domain runs stable....

But when I use the virsh -c xen:/// define libvirt-ttylinux.xml" and "virsh start ttyimage, it crashes after sometime.

The ibvirt-ttylinux.conf file ::

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-164.2.1.el5xen"
ramdisk= "/boot/initrd-2.6.18-164.2.1.el5xen.img"
memory = 64
name = "ttylinux"
disk = ['file:/usr/local/ttylinux-xen-libvirt/ttylinux-xen.img,sda1,w']
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"
vif = ['']
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I give the same Xen kernel parameter here in xml file, and use virsh to create domain

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<domain type='xen'>
    <name>ttyimage</name>
    <os>

        </interface>
    </devices>
</domain>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My Boot grub file data::title Scientific Linux (2.6.18-164.2.1.el5xen)
    root (hd0,0)
    kernel /xen.gz-2.6.18-164.2.1.el5
    module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-164.2.1.el5xen ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet
    module /initrd-2.6.18-164.2.1.el5xen.img

Why is this difference between the xm (when i destroy the image,domain is also destroyed) and virsh (domain is not destroyed while destroying the image) .

I doubt that am making some mistake with the xml file .... Is that true?

Kindly give some suggestions

Thanks

You domain crashed here...  Is the VM image and kernel in that image known to work?
