Hi, Was anyone able to run Solaris 10 10/08 as guest under a HVM domU Debian Etch (xen 3.0.3-1) or current Debian Lenny (xen 3.2-1)? In my case Solaris installation stops after boot kernel ; I can''t see anyhing after grub screen. I know that it is possible using Xen 3.3 (see [1]) but I don''t know if it possible with a previous Xen version Thanks, Álvaro [1] http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2008-10/msg00068.html _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Re: [Xen-users] Solaris 10 with xen 3.2 or previous
Hi Boris, Many thanks for your comment! Anyway, I just have moved to Xen 3.3.1 (from sources over 2.6.18-xen debian kernel) and now the installation boot process crashes[1] at disk detection stage when I use this configuration: disk=[''file:/var/xen/domains/pacopico/disk.img,ioemu:hda,w'', ''file:/root/sol-10-u6-ga1-x86-dvd.iso,hdc:cdrom,r''] But when using this other configuration: disk=[''file:/var/xen/domains/pacopico/disk.img,ioemu:sda,w'', ''file:/root/sol-10-u6-ga1-x86-dvd.iso,hdc:cdrom,r''] the Solaris 10 boot installation process works fine, but doesn''t find any hard disk to perform the installation. So my problem now, if I''m not wrong, is how to disable SCSI detection of Solaris. Or is there any way to offer only an IDE disk to a guest? My dom0 is using a "Dell PowerEdge Expandable RAID" and by the moment I don''t worried about performance issues. What was your disk configuration? Thanks, Álvaro [1]: Configuring devices: panic[cpu0]/thread=cff51de0: BAD TRAP: type=e (#pf Page fault) rp=cff51d0c addr=c ocurred in module xdf due to NULL pointer dereference sched: #pf Page fault Bad kernel fault at addr=0xc ... syncing file systems...

Re: [Xen-users] Solaris 10 with xen 3.2 or previous
Álvaro, I''ve done test (2 vcpus) at Xen 3.3.1-RC3(RC4) CentOS 5.2 Dom0 with no problems :- http://lxer.com/module/newswire/view/113963/index.html But, on SATA drive attached to Intel ICH9R (AHCI mode setup in BIOS) 1. Your notation on Debian:- disk=[''file:/var/xen/domains/pacopico/disk.img,ioemu:hda,w'', ''file:/root/sol-10-u6-ga1-x86-dvd.iso,hdc:cdrom,r''] S10 10/08 does have PV drivers implemented, try :- disk=[''file:/var/xen/domains/pacopico/disk.img,hda,w'', ''file:/root/sol-10-u6-ga1-x86-dvd.iso,hdc:cdrom,r''] 2. Dell PowerEdge Expandable RAID handles your Dom0 . I do remember discussion at help@opensolaris.org very similar to your complaints Solution was to switch from RAID to SCSI (emulation) in BIOS settings when install on bare metal (!). Actually, it was SAS controller. Just a guess :- Try switch to SCSI in BIOS to avoid RAID. I would expect RAID BIOS settings to cause a problem 3. Try to install any other HVM DomU (WinXP,Linux). What''s gonna happen ? Is RAID a problem for non-Solaris HVM ? --- On Thu, 1/15/09, Álvaro Vega García <avega@tid.es> wrote: From: Álvaro Vega García <avega@tid.es> Subject: Re: [Xen-users] Solaris 10 with xen 3.2 or previous To: "bderzhavets@yahoo.com" <bderzhavets@yahoo.com> Cc: xen-users@lists.xensource.com Date: Thursday, January 15, 2009, 7:14 AM Hi Boris, Many thanks for your comment!
