CentOS Template: Run with native kernel

[David Hobach]

Dear all,

I tried to run the CentOS template with its own kernel (qvm-prefs vm
kernel '') in HVM mode, but so far it refuses to start and I always get
the following error:

[ 11.073799] blkfront: xvdc: flush diskcache: enabled; persistent
grants: enabled; indirect descriptors: enabled;
[ 11.200124] dracut-pre-trigger[316]: sfdisk: /dev/xvdc: unrecognized
partition table type
[ 11.201569] dracut-pre-trigger[316]: sfdisk: No partitions found
[ 11.202927] dracut-pre-trigger[316]: sfdisk: unrecognized input:
type=82,start=2048,size=2097152
[ 11.207577] dracut: FATAL: Qubes: failed to setup partitions on
volatile device
[ 11.232758] dracut: Refusing to continue

Did anyone have the same issue?

Thanks & Best Regards
David

No. I installed CentOS to a StandaloneVM from virtual CD to get the
native kernel. Requires 2GB RAM for the VM though to work.

It seems a problem with dracut scripts. I tried to fix but ended doing
a standalone too.
