Hello.
I''m trying to set up hvm for linux or windows.
I start with a very simple configuration without disks at all.
but the virtual machine does boot or even "power up".
If i remove the ioemu from the network device and specify type=brige or
type=route everything goes fine, the boot process is starting but then I cant
get network working in the guest.
----------------------------
import os, re
arch = os.uname()[4]
if re.search(''64'', arch):
arch_libdir = ''lib64''
else:
arch_libdir = ''lib''
kernel = "/usr/lib64/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder=''hvm''
memory = 128
name = "xptest"
disk = [
''file:/tmp/install-amd64-minimal-2007.0.iso,hdc:cdrom,r''
]
vif = [ ''type=ioemu, mac=00:16:3d:aa:b0:11, bridge=xenbr0'' ]
--------------------------------
the result:
Name ID Mem VCPUs State
Time(s)
Domain-0 0 1480 2 r----- 36.9
fwh 1 384 1 -b---- 14.5
xptest 2 128 1 ------ 0.0
I''ll appreciate any help.

RE: [Xen-users] cant start hvm because of ioemu network device.
Which Xen version are you using? Which distribution are you running on dom0? I had a similar problem with Gentoo using Xen 3.2.0. The HVMs did not work, so I quickly reverted back to 3.1.2 (from backup). Did not look any futher into it... If you provide more information about your setup, other are better able to help you. - Joris>-----Original Message----- >From: xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com >[mailto:xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com] On Behalf Of Ori >Sent: Thursday, 14 February 2008 2:49 >To: xen-users@lists.xensource.com >Subject: [Xen-users] cant start hvm because of ioemu network device. > >Hello. >I''m trying to set up hvm for linux or windows. >I start with a very simple configuration without disks at all. >but the virtual machine does boot or even "power up". >If i remove the ioemu from the network device and specify >type=brige or type=route everything goes fine, the boot >process is starting but then I cant get network working in the guest. > >---------------------------- >import os, re >arch = os.uname()[4] >if re.search(''64'', arch): > arch_libdir = ''lib64'' >else: > arch_libdir = ''lib'' >kernel = "/usr/lib64/xen/boot/hvmloader" >builder=''hvm'' >memory = 128 >name = "xptest" >disk = [ > ''file:/tmp/install-amd64-minimal-2007.0.iso,hdc:cdrom,r'' > ] >vif = [ ''type=ioemu, mac=00:16:3d:aa:b0:11, bridge=xenbr0'' ] >-------------------------------- > >the result: > >Name ID Mem VCPUs > State >Time(s) >Domain-0 0 1480 2 >r----- 36.9 >fwh 1 384 1 >-b---- 14.5 >xptest 2 128 1 >------ 0.0 > > >I''ll appreciate any help. > >_______________________________________________ >Xen-users mailing list >Xen-users@lists.xensource.com >http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users >_______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
I just solved the issue by myself. Digging in the Qemu logs I''ve found something like "tap0 unknown interface" Apparently the tun kernel module was missing, after loading it everything works fine. X logs are quite messy and xm''s error messages are not really helpful. I''m using Xen 3.2.0 on Gentoo as well. kernel 2.6.20-r6 it works nice also I had a lockup once but I think it''s related to NFSv4 Right now happily running 4 domUs and some of them are HVM. Thank you for your interest. Ori.
