[Fedora-xen] Problem Installing Fedora 7 as a Guest on Xen machine
Hi Resending message not sure if it made through the first time Hi I have run into a problem installing fedora 7 as a guest on a Xen machine. The host machine is a amd64 - Debian lenny install. Running 2.6.20-1-xen-amd64 xm info host : debxen release : 2.6.20-1-xen-amd64 version : #1 SMP Tue Apr 24 22:23:22 UTC 2007 machine : x86_64 nr_cpus : 4 nr_nodes : 1 sockets_per_node : 2 cores_per_socket : 2 threads_per_core : 1 cpu_mhz : 2800 hw_caps : 178bfbff:ebd3fbff:00000000:00000010:00002001:00000000:0000001f total_memory : 8191 free_memory : 1 xen_major : 3 xen_minor : 0 xen_extra : .3-1 xen_caps : xen-3.0-x86_64 hvm-3.0-x86_32 hvm-3.0-x86_32p hvm-3.0-x86_64 xen_pagesize : 4096 platform_params : virt_start=0xffff800000000000 xen_changeset : Tue Oct 17 22:09:52 2006 +0100 cc_compiler : gcc version 4.1.2 20061028 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-19) cc_compile_by : ultrotter cc_compile_domain : debian.org cc_compile_date : Fri Nov 3 00:21:27 CET 2006 xend_config_format : 2 I have downloaded the fedora 7 DVD, I have extracted the xen vmlinuz and zen initrd.img This is my fedora7.cfg # # Kernel + memory size # kernel = ''/etc/xen/data/fedora7/vmlinuz'' ramdisk = ''/etc/xen/data/fedora7/initrd.img'' memory = ''1024'' extra = ''pnpacpi=off sync_console vnc vncpassword=qwerty text vncconnect=16.144.29.11'' #bootloader = ''/usr/lib/xen-3.0.3-1/bin/pygrub'' # # Disk device(s). # disk = [ ''phy:vglocal/fedora7-disk,xvda,w'' ] # # Hostname # name = ''fedora7'' # # Networking # dhcp = ''dhcp'' #vif = [ ''type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0'' ] vif = [ '''' ] # # Behaviour # on_poweroff = ''destroy'' on_reboot = ''restart'' on_crash = ''restart'' serial = "pty" localtime = 0 vcpus = 2 I tried something similar with RHEL5 and it worked, fedora7 is getting stuck>From xm console fedora7io scheduler noop registered io scheduler anticipatory registered io scheduler deadline registered io scheduler cfq registered (default) pci_hotplug: PCI Hot Plug PCI Core version: 0.5 rtc: IRQ 8 is not free.

I ran into this myself with F7, and it took me a bit to figure out what was going on. Your console has been redirected to the graphical console from the serial console at that point in the guest boot process. Here''s what to do: 1) Fire up virt-manager in dom-0. You''ll see your guest running (xm and virsh will show it as blocked). From the ''view'' menu, select the graphical console and you''ll get your guest''s login screen. 2) In order to have the output of your guest appear in both consoles, add the following to your guest''s kernel line in grub.conf: console=tty console=xvc0,9600n8 Now you''ll see all the output in both the text and the graphical console. Note that you''ll also need to edit /etc/securetty and add ''xvc0'', and check /etc/inittab and make sure you have a line like: co:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty xvc0 9600 vt100-nav as well. Good luck.
