I never knew you could kickstart a xen image. I used this method, and it works great. The image will boot up successfully, and when I run 'df' it shows as an ext3 file system. thank you. thank you. thank you. My problem is that I am unable to mount the exact same image, and I need to do be able to do so. I do _not_ have the xen image "booted up" while I am trying to mount it. With all other xen images I can mount it with the following command: mount -o loop image.img /mnt/whatever However, when i try with these kickstarted trixbox images I get the error "mount: you must specify the filesystem type". I've tried specifying several different FS types including ext3, which gives me the following error: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop3, missing codepage or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so Any ideas on this? Dmesg has no useful info. I am not out of loopback devices. Other images mount fine. My problem is unique to these disk images. I even tried downloading the trixbox xen image from xenforge, but it behaves the same way. I've been trying to figure it out for days now. I am baffled. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The 2.6.2.1 and 2.6.2.2 seems to hang a bit like times out even with out the TDM400 card. Since 2.8.0.1 doesnt even recognise the card even in normal installation meaning not in virtualized environment. Tim will u update the installation for the Trixbox 2.6.2.3 please.

How? Don't know it just worked. But the problem now is that the pci card kinds of stalls after a few calls. In and out. All trunks work just that the card would just hang and no calls can get in or out. It hangs about 3 times a day. Also can you do a step by step for trixbox 2.6.2.3? Please :) seems that it would be better supporting xen? Ok I got the cards to dial in and out no issues with any of that now. How? Don’t know it just worked.

I have a system sitting just waiting for some time to try it. What type of errors are you getting if any? If you can dial out, it would stand to reason that there may be a config issue preventing inbound that is not related to Xen. However I am not certain until I give it a try.

I can only dial out thru one channel of my tdm400p. Tim have you tried the pci card yet? I can only dial out thru one channel of my tdm400p.

The voicetime device looks interesting. Not sure how it would work in a XEN environment. You would have to have the dahdi source rpm, which I have not seen on their SRPM repo yet. I think it would be interesting to try it out. I think the timing source in Xen is pretty good, but I don't do anything heavy that would cause issues. Engineer Tim Thank you.

Is it possible to use the Sangoma Voicetime plug http://wiki.sangoma.com/sangoma-wanpipe-voicetime as a timing source for all your DomU asterisk boxes? Seems timing is the #1 kicker and it would be nice if you could get a clean reliable timing source that all DomU's could share. Great how-to guides – thanks.
