Hello, We plan to use xen in production environment with FC4. official xen rpm packages and updates from official FC4 releases use xen unstable and seem to be quite wrong ( i have some problem with xenstored with xen rpm package from updates ). I would prefer to use xen stable release wich seems to work well from source on fc4, so i would like to know if anyone use xen in production environment and if there is a yum repository/url where i can find stable xen tools and kernels rpm packages. Cheers, F.Visconte _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
I''ve had the same experience with the latest FC4/xen updates -- they don''t work (for me? or generally?). xen fails with the "CPU is toast" error message (even when the RAM is adjusted as dom0_mem=131072). If I build a new xen, xen boots, but FC4 itself hangs at the the "unmounting old /proc" stage. This is the 2.6.12-1.1447 kernel. The 2.6.12-1.1398 kernel runs fine on another machine, but I''m unable to get any working version of xen (from rpms) on my second machine. I''ve tried to install the 1398 kernel/modules/initrd/etc, but it aborts early in the linux boot phase (not sure exactly where, it scrolls too fast). My second test machine is updated to all of the latest packages, so I''m assuming there is a conflict between xen and the later packages. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
I built my own RPMs for xen (xen 2.0.7 / kernel 2.6.11.12), targetted for CentOS 4, but I don''t see why it won''t work for FC4. I can send you the SRPMs so you can customize it should the need arise. :-) I''ve included my own .config for my kernels though (include handy SCSI drivers and all), as well as generating initrds for booting to LVM2/RAID setups. -gino On 9/2/05, master@bradleyland.com <master@bradleyland.com> wrote:> I''ve had the same experience with the latest FC4/xen updates -- they don''t > work (for me? or generally?). xen fails with the "CPU is toast" error > message (even when the RAM is adjusted as dom0_mem=131072).

Thanks for the offer Gino. That''s very nice of you. My desired end state is to have two physical xen machines, with the domU in each dom0 failing over to the domU in the other physical machine. The first machine is running FC4 1398 with the May release version of xen. The other machine is yet to work. I believe the 1398 rpms are the unstable (3.0?) tree of xen. For my purposes, should both machines be running exactly the same version of xen/FC4? I''ve not set up a cluster before. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I can send >>you the SRPMs so you can customize it should the need arise. :-)I have also created RPMs for CentOS 4. I would like to compare results and see what could be improved. I have created two separate SRPMS, one for Xen and tools, one for the kernel. The xen one is based on the FC4 RPM spec for xen-unstable. I would be great if we could collect the work done and create a yum repository. This should also include the recompiled glibc rpms.

Hello, This is quite a good idea but i don''t want to use fedora SPECs as a start. I would be happy to use your specs as a start point in order to make my work easyer. I keep wondering why fedora does not includes xen stable release but the lastest unstable one. Best Regards, F.Visconte Michael Paesold wrote:>> Gino LV.

Hi, I''ve uploaded the SRPMs and xen spec files for the ones I built. I used xen-stable (2.0.7) and added my own custom kernel configs and one-line patches (fs-bio and serial port). http://homepage.mac.com/ginoledesma/FileSharing16.html Would appreciate comments and feedback as my RPM building skills is entirely beginniner-level. :-) - gino On 9/5/05, François Visconte <Francois.Visconte@inrialpes.fr> wrote:> Hello, > > This is quite a good idea but i don''t want to use fedora SPECs as a start. > I would be happy to use your specs as a start point in order to make my > work easyer. > I keep wondering why fedora does not includes xen stable release but the > lastest unstable one. > > Best Regards, > F.Visconte > > Michael Paesold wrote: > >> Gino LV.
