I think I found the solution here : https://blog.roberthallam.org/2020/05/solving-unable-to-find-partition-conta... I've created a file called menu.lst inside the boot directory of the image file called "debian.img",adding the following content inside : default 0 timeout 10 title Debian root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinux-6.1.59-stb-xen-cbe+ root=/dev/xvda initrd /boot/initrd.img-6.1.59-stb-xen-cbe+ and I tried again to boot the image using virt-manager. It gave this error again : root@devuan-bunsen:/mnt/zroot2/zroot2/OS/Chromebook/FreeBSD-guestOS/linux-xen/debian2/boot# 2023-11-29 15:21:09.266+0000: 2467: error : libxlDomainStartPerform:1256 : internal error: libxenlight failed to create new domain 'debian12' but giving a look inside the log file and I found this interesting situation ; Using <class 'grub.GrubConf.GrubConfigFile'> to parse /boot/grub/menu.lst (B )0 [1;24r [m [?7h [?1h = [H [J [?1h = [1B pyGRUB version 0.6 [1B [0m lqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqk [1B [0m x [0;7m Debian 12 [m [0m x [1B [0m x [72C [0m x [1B [0m x [72C [0m x [1B [0m x [72C [0m x [1B [0m x [72C [0m x [1B [0m x [72C [0m x [1B [0m x [72C [0m x [1B [0m x [72C [0m x [1B [0m mqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqj [1B [70D [0m Use the ↑ and ↓ keys to select which entry is highlighted.

ok. I tried to fix the broken installation and now the error is changed :

This tells you to look into the log file. Did you? What is there?

Is this the contents of that file? If so, then your xen installation is broken because it did not install the .so.
