Hi all, 

Struggling with booting an instance on compute node. 


I  am trying to boot a Scientific linux image but get "kernel panic" while booting the image. On status it shows instance "Active" and "Running".

I couldn't find any logs in the compute file. one get some last lines in the VNC web console. 

I am using qemu with libvirtd. 

The strange thing is that I can boot the image with qemu commandline tool on the same host without any problem 

# qemu-system-x86_64 -k 'sv' cernvm-basic-2.6.0-4-1-x86.vmdk 

I have 3 questions. 

1 - Please suggest a better logging way as in compute I am not getting any error message?

2 - What should I do to check what is going wrong in the system? 

3 - While uploading the image using "glance", I have tried following  

disk_formate=vmdk  
or
disk_formate=vdi

both works fine. Where

container_formate=bare
in both cases. 

Which one I should really set for the disk_formate?

also there is one disk_formate vmk. What is this for?  

Thanks in advance. 

Regards..
Salman.
