similar to: xl and console problems with pv-grub?

Hi, I have Xen installed and running several (win 7) HVMs. I've setup an Arch linux PV guest but I am having a problem booting it. (The install image booted fine.) After each failed attempt to boot I try to view the /var/log/xen/bootloader.XX.log file but all of these files are zero bytes. So, I'm having some trouble troubleshooting this. I followed the instructions from

flight 10458 xen-4.1-testing real [real] http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~xensrcts/logs/10458/ Failures and problems with tests :-( Tests which did not succeed and are blocking: test-amd64-i386-xl-credit2 3 host-install(3) broken test-amd64-amd64-xl-sedf 3 host-install(3) broken test-amd64-amd64-xl-winxpsp3 3 host-install(3) broken

I just downloaded Xen-4.1.1 from xen.org, compiled it, and installed it. I then compiled kernel 3.0.0 and added the hypervisor and dom0 kernel in a grub 2 entry. After booting, I executed "xl list," to confirm the hypervisor was running. I was greeted with this message: libxl: error: libxl.c:56:libxl_ctx_init Is xenstore daemon running? failed to stat /var/run/xenstored.pid: No such

I''m trying to create a pv guest with qcow/qcow2 disk image by xl, it always fails atlibxl_device_disk_local_attach. #xl create pv_config_file libxl: error: libxl.c:1119:libxl_device_disk_local_attach: cannot locally attach a qdisk image if the format is not raw libxl: error: libxl_create.c:467:do_domain_create: failed to run bootloader: -3 Does that mean we cannot create such a pv guest

Package: xen-utils-common Version: 4.1.4-3+deb7u1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, i changed toolkit to xl, after that i observe that my domU started as HVM domains. I found same problem here: http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-xen/2012/04/11/msg007216.html When i manualy setup loop devices and specify it as disks in my VM conf file, domU started as PV. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.1

Package: xen-utils-common Version: 4.1.2-1 Severity: normal Hi, I was doing some experiments today with XL TOOLSTACK, and found few problems when trying to do PV domU boot. I was trying to run kfreebsd9 or linux-3.2 kernel in qemu using PV i386, and with simple configuration without any disks, nics or virtual framebuffer, kernel boots (and then kernel itselfs correctly fails with information

Hello Xen-users, I am trying to load two executables into a single VM at different addresses. The goal is to pass control to the first executable, which will treat the second executable as data. Can PV-Grub be used to accomplish this? I suspect ordinary Grub should be able to do this, outside of Xen, with a configuration like this: menu.lst: title a multiboot test root (hd0,0)

hi, i cleared all the stuffs(everything) related to xen and libvirt. i installed freshly xen-4.2.1 from the source. *Installation steps are as follows:* apt-get build-dep xen apt-get install libc6-dev libglib2.0-dev libyajl-dev yajl-tools libbz2-dev bison flex zlib1g-dev git-core texinfo debhelper debconf-utils debootstrap fakeroot *OR* apt-get install bcc bin86 gawk bridge-utils iproute

Hey guys, what I am trying to do is a chainload into grub2 installation in a DomU. So far I determined, PV-GRUB does not understand grub2''s grub.cfg notation. So I created a dummy menu.lst which has the needed root kernel and initrd rows and then referenced this to the DomUs config. The main intention to do this, is to be able to use kernel upgrades without touching the menu.lst for

Add a couple of documentation details about PV-GRUB support - the menu.lst content can be passed as a ramdisk. - virtual partitions are not supported.

Hi all, I use xen-4.0.1 from unstable repository (built from the source with pbuilder) and I can't find pv-grub on my hard disk. I don't find anything related to this in changelog nor on the web. Anyone knows how to find and use pv-grub on debian ? Thanks -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hello! I was asking for help on the Freenode channel, and I was pointed here. I have a situation where, using xl, I can create a functional PV domU, with or without pv-grub, but I cannot access the console. Firing up xend and using xm works without trouble. Since xend and company is being deprecated, I would like to transition to using the xl toolstack. The system is an Arch Linux system

Hi, List, In checking the page fault problem when using pv-grub to start domU in opensuse12.3[1], found that the problem is caused by ''-fstack-protector'' flag which is introduced in rpm build: export EXTRA_CFLAGS_XEN_TOOLS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS" export EXTRA_CFLAGS_QEMU_TRADITIONAL="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS" export EXTRA_CFLAGS_QEMU_XEN="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS" with
