Hi All, I am trying to install Xen on freshly installed CentOS 6. My machine is Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5205 @ 1.86GHz with VT enabled in the BiOS. I followed below steps to install hypervisor and Dom 0 kernel but things are not working: 1. yum install bridge-utils 2. curl -o /etc/yum.repos.d/kernel-xen.repo http://www.crc.id.au/repo/kernel-xen.repo 3.yum install kernel-xen xen 4. Reboot in Xen kernel. Simple commands like # xm info Error: Unable to connect to xend: No such file or directory. Is xend running? Trying to start xend (/etc/init.d/xend) returns with no msg (success nor failure), I see xend.log (/var/log/xen/xend.log) empty, any idea whats going wrong ? # uname -a Linux <m/c_name> 2.6.32.46-1.el6xen.x86_64 #1 SMP Sat Sep 17 12:00:33 EST 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I have send mails to the community earlier too, but ended up getting even a single response (I was trying to install Xen on ubuntu desktop). Hopefully someone will find time to share information on this one. Thanks! _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Do you have xencommons besides xend and xendomains? If there is, does it start for xencommons? Sorry, I am not sure that repo http://www.crc.id.au/repo/kernel-xen.repo package xen has what in it so asking whether do you have such.> > # uname -a > Linux <m/c_name> 2.6.32.46-1.el6xen.x86_64 #1 SMP Sat Sep 17 12:00:33 EST > 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux > > I have send mails to the community earlier too, but ended up getting even a > single response (I was trying to install Xen on ubuntu desktop).
