I have a CentOS 4.2 system that was set up VERY quickly following the demise of its former life as a CentOS 3 server - you don't want the full story, but it had to be done quickly to get a company up and working following a slight disaster involving an electrician, a portable appliance safety tester and a pulled power cable - anyway, here's where I am at... Everything is running fine but

# grub.conf generated by anaconda I recently tried installing xen on another machine and I''m getting the "CPU0 is toast rebooting in 5 seconds" message. Reading through past postings, I was hopeful setting the dom0_mem=128M would solve the problem. Unfortunately, it didn''t make a difference. I haven''t fooled with anything on this system -- just a fresh FC4

I am installing Xen on a remote server. I left the other kernels on the grub.conf and made xen the default to boot from. The box didn''t boot into Xen on reboot but I''m not sure why. Here is my Xen config file: # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that #

I recently installed CentOS 5.1 on a DL71 ASI notebook. After my yum update the timeout parameter in /boot/grub/grub.conf file has no effect. It sits at the grub screen forever unless I press the enter key to select a kernel, at which point it will boot. Any help or suggestions to fix this would be much appreciated CentOS release 5.2 (Final) Kernel 2.6.18-92.1.18.el5 on an i686 # grub.conf

To test CentOS 5, I loaded from DVD adding it to a system at home running Fedora Core 7 T2. Partition Layout is: /dev/hda1 - / for the RH7T2 system /dev/hda2 - /home /dev/hda3 - swap /dev/hda4 - extended /dev/hda5 - / for CentOS 5 The system loaded cleanly and gave me the opportunity to tell grub about the other system. CentOS boots fine. Grub Stage 2 will show me both systems.

Hello. I am trying to boot CentOS 4 from a copy of an ext3 software RAID 1 filesystem (md) which has been copied to a normal ext3 filesystem (hd). I am almost getting there, exept that the system hangs after booting the kernel. I copied the datas from the /boot and / partitions to two similar partitions on the backuped disk with mirrordir (can also be done with cp or dd). I have setup the new

Hello list, I tried to install Xen 3.1.0 on Scientific Linux (RHEL4), but this mission failed.. Hope you can help me by finding the reason for my problem. I downloaded the xen sources from http://bits.xensource.com/oss-xen/release/3.1.0/src.tgz/xen-3.1.0-src.tgz and compiled them by running "make" and "./install.sh". This seemed to work. After setting up grub like this,

Still new at this and was wondering if someone could give me some pointers. I have Xen 3.0.4 running great with 5 PV guests. I just followed setup instructions from a few wiki pages. But the one thing I noticed, is that the guest kernel is on the host. Below is the cfg file for my mail server guest. # -*- mode: python; -*- kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16.33-xen" ramdisk =

Hi all, I installed Xen 3.0.2 using Gentoo portage. The kernel boots ok to the console but when I try to login either as root or myself it won''t authenticate. I read some posts that mentioned not having a populated /dev directory but this is in place. It also contains a full range of tty* and has console in it. I''m at a loss for what to look for. The console login is ok

Good evening all, I''ve all but finished installing Xen 2.0.5, XenLinux 2.6.10 and Debian GNU/Linux 3.0r4 into /boot on a colo box currently (and temporarily) running CentOS. I''ve chrooted into the debian install (chroot /boot /bin/bash) and was able to set everything up, install requisite packages, install xen, etc. Now I''m at the last step and I''ve run into

I have a system that is RAID -1 configured as /dev/md0 is /dev/hda1 /dev/hdb1 /dev/md1 is /dev/hdb3 /dev/hdb3 it seems as though /dev/hda has failed.... I have another disk (identical model) that I can replace hda with. I know about the commands fdisk to repartion and raidhotadd /dev/md0 /dev/hda1 and raidhotadd /dev/md1 /dev/hda3 (to be ran after the system boots). BUT... how do I now get

I''ve seen this happen before, not sure why. I changed ''phy:'' to ''file:'' and it worked. I later rebooted and ''phy:'' worked again. So you might try ''file:'' rather than ''phy:''. -- Ray -----Original Message----- From: xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com
