Hi All, I have an interesting problem in that my system fails to create the / dev/xen directory and I suspect the drivers when booted with i86xpv kernel. Are there any ideas what the problem might be? The absence of the /dev/xen links and devices naturally stops xenstored from working. /boot/grub/menu.lst: splashimage /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz timeout 30 default 0 #---------- ADDED BY BOOTADM - DO NOT EDIT ---------- title opensolaris bootfs rpool/ROOT/opensolaris kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -B $ZFS-BOOTFS module$ /platform/i86pc/$ISADIR/boot_archive #---------------------END BOOTADM-------------------- #============ End of LIBBE entry ============#---------- ADDED BY BOOTADM - DO NOT EDIT ---------- title Solaris xVM kernel$ /boot/$ISADIR/xen.gz module$ /platform/i86xpv/kernel/$ISADIR/unix /platform/i86xpv/kernel/ $ISADIR/unix -B $ZFS-BOOTFS module$ /platform/i86pc/$ISADIR/boot_archive #---------------------END BOOTADM-------------------- Extracts from pkg list SUNWxvm 3.1-0.86 installed ---- SUNWxvmdom 3.1-0.86 installed ---- SUNWxvmhvm 0.5.11-0.86 installed ---- SUNWckr 0.5.11-0.86 installed ---- Thanks for your assistance Maurice Castro

That script also fixed the problem I replied (on the wrong forum here): http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=59684 This message posted from opensolaris.org
Hi All, after a from scratch install and following the instructions in http://trevoro.ca/blog/2008/05/07/getting-xvm-to-work-in-opensolaris-200805/ I managed to get xen to work. The script suggested did not fix my original problems. Unfortunately, as with my experience on SXDE with xen, networking on the box running the xen hypervisor does not work. The system comes up, but fails to DHCP. The system is a white box AMD 64 box with an e1000g in it. The e1000g shares the PCI-E bus with the video card. Any suggestions gratefully accepted.

Found a little typo (extra space) in the above script that causes DUP packets in
your DOMUs, also added a shebang line.
