Hi, I have installed b_78 on a Dell 2950 and booting to bare metal works fine but when I try to boot using the grub entry Solaris xVM it will boot to the point where it displays the uname info and then just stays there. It will not boot past that point. I have enabled VT technology in the BIOS (but only after the installation). Where/what can I look at to trouble shoot this? I am new to xen and would like to try and start trying it out. TIA, Daren This message posted from opensolaris.org

I am new to xen and would like to try and start trying it out.can you modify the grub line to do a verbose boot and load the kernel debugger (-kv). e.g. module$ /platform/i86xpv/kernel/$ISADIR/unix /platform/i86xpv/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -kv What''s the last module to load?

Now add a -k the the end of unix line to load the kernel debugger. boot the kernel, when you get to the hang, hit ctrl-a 3 times, then hit q, then hit ctrl-a 3 times again. You should now be in the solaris kernel debugger. Can you send me the output of $c you can also do a ::threadlist -v to see what''s running. Can you also send that to me off alias. Thanks, MRJ
OK, I am gonna need some hand holding here.. I enabled the debugger, booted and
it just hung at that pci... message. I did the ctrl q thing and nothing..just
seemed to be hung. I went home and came back in the morning and there it was..at
the debug prompt. Dumb me didn''t capture the output you wanted though
so I thought, ok, I''ll reboot it and this time turn on the capture.
Same thing, just hung at the pci...message. Left it again and came back in today
and this time it was totally booted into the xvm environment. It seems like it
is taking 8,9..10 hours to boot. Any ideas why it would take so long to boot? I
will try to do the debug thing again but it may not be until tomorrow when it
finishes booting. See below for the output of the current booted state in xvm:

=================================
thanks for all your help, and I will post the debug stuff as soon as I can get
it.
Also, what do you mean mean by off alias? I don''t see how to get an
external email address for you if that''s what you mean.

Dumb me didn''t capture the output you wanted though so I thought, ok, I''ll reboot it and this time turn on the capture. Same thing, just hung at the pci...message. Left it again and came back in today and this time it was totally booted into the xvm environment. It seems like it is taking 8,9..10hours to boot. Any ideas why it would take so long to boot? I will try to do the debug thing again but it may not be until tomorrow when it finishes booting. See below for the output of the current booted state in xvm: Do you have both Xen and Solaris consoles going to the serial port? e.g. kernel$ /boot/$ISADIR/xen.gz com1=9600,8n1 console=com1 module$ /platform/i86xpv/kernel/$ISADIR/unix /platform/i86xpv/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -k -B console=ttya then ctrl-a, ctrl-a, ctrl-a, q, ctrl-a, ctrl-a, ctrl-a if you log into the system and run intrstat what do you see?> > > =================================> > thanks for all your help, and I will post the debug stuff as soon as I can get it.k, thanks.> Also, what do you mean mean by off alias?

Doesn''t look like it. Thanks, MRJ

I sent you the log I have captured so far offline. Let me know if you need me to try and capture something different. Thanks again for all your help. Daren This message posted from opensolaris.org
