As reported in the thread: http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2006-03/msg00721.html, pygrub does not open ext2 file systems in partitioned images or sub partitions on e.g. CentOS/RHEL 4, because e2fsprogs ext2fs_open does not support an offset into the file to be opened. With this patch, the error is correctly reported instead of a generic "unable to open file" (and leaving the user searching in the dark). Signed-off-by: Michael Paesold <mpaesold@gmx.at>
pygrub is a grub-like bootloader for xen. This tool is to use to boot domU images. To compile pygrub, you will need the following packages installed: 1) Libraries of ext2fs, which is the following package (depend on your Linux distribution): - e2fslibs-dev on Debian based distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, Linspire, Libranet, Xandros, etc...) - e2fsprogs-devel on RedHat, Fedora Core - libext2fs2-devel on Mandriva/Mandrake - e2fsprogs on Gentoo 2) Libraries of reiserfs, which is the following package (depend on your Linux distribution): - libreiserfs-dev on Debian based distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, Xandros, Libranet, Xandros, etc...) - progsreiserfs-devel on RedHat - progreiserfs on Gentoo
