Folks,
I'm new to Xen although fairly well versed otherwise in basic Linux and FreeBSD sysadmin stuff.
I have a fresh, up-to-date install of Alpine Linux using their pre-built Xen dom0 distro.
Alpine 3.9
Xen 4.11.1
I have been able to successfully create a Alpine Linux domU on this system.
I want to create a pfSense domU, but I clearly have a problem in my cfg file syntax, and the error message is not very informative.
My cfg file contents:
-----BEGIN-----
builder = 'hvm'
vcpus = 1
memory = 512
maxvcpus = 1
name = 'pfsensetest'
firmware = 'bios'
disk = [
'format=raw, vdev=hda, access=w, target=/root/pfsensetest.img',
'format=raw, vdev=hdc, access=r, devtype=cdrom, target=/root/pfSense-CE-2.4.4-RELEASE-amd64.iso'
]
boot = "dc"
-----END-----
The error message I get is:
libxl: error: libxl_create.c:589:libxl__domain_make: domain creation fail: Invalid argument
libxl: error: libxl_create.c:964:initiate_domain_create: cannot make domain: -3
How can I determine where the syntax error might be?
