Hi,
I''m new to Xen. I''ve been trying unsucessfully to setup an
x86_64 guest on
my x86_64 Dom0 (both running Fedora Core 6). The dom0 system is a fresh
install of FC6 with latest updates applied.
What I have been able to do is run the ''virt-install'' utility
to create the
guest environment, however when the FC6 install finishes on the guest, it
says ''rebooting'' and then dies i.e. I can''t see the
guest listed when I do
an ''xm list''.
What I''ve then done is ''xm create -c /etc/xen/fc6_64''
(the name of the
config created above) which takes my to the pygrub boot screen, then
attempts to boot, however I only get as far as ''creating root
device'' and it
stops. Now, when I do an ''xm list'' I can see the guest listed
but it is in
the ''blocked'' state. The xend.log file doesn''t appear
to show any errors,
just a whole lot of DEBUG - the last message is ''INFO (XendDomain:370)
Domain fc6_64 (1) unpaused''
Now if I try to reboot the guest i.e ''xm reboot fc6_64'' things
go horribly
wrong. The guest console says ''restarting'' then drops back to
Dom0 command
line. When I do ''xm list'' I get the error ''Error:
Device 51712 not
connected'' instead of the usual list and xend.log shows the following:
