I have been following the installation instructions on the HowTo for installing Xen as dom0 on OpenSolaris, but I''m using build 55 instead of 44. Everything seems to be going ok, but there is no /dev/xen directory. I follow the instructions and do "touch /reconfigure" and then reboot into the xen kernel, but then I get only a black screen with a blinking cursor that doesn''t respond to any input. After this, things are funky when I boot into the original Solaris kernel, so I end up wiping it clean and reinstalling the OS. Does anyone know what might be wrong? Does build 55 simply not support the provided Xen package in the HowTo? Scott Kilpatrick This message posted from opensolaris.org
Well I realized the problem was that in /boot/grub/menu.lst the kernel was booting with the console as com1. There isn''t even a serial port on this machine. I commented out that parameter in the file and now I appear to be booting into the xen kernel. After a lot of output with lines beginning with memory addresses, it reads: ------------ panic: entering debugger (no dump device, continue to reboot) Welcome to kmdb Loaded modules: [ scsi_vhci ufs unix krtld xen_psm genunix ip specfs sctp ] [0]> ------------- Presumably that is a prompt, but it doesn''t accept any input. Does anyone know what''s going on, or perhaps have advice for me? I''m still learning the ropes in Solaris. -Scott This message posted from opensolaris.org
