Hi,
I am facing an issue which i have described in the below and looking forward
your help regarding the same at the earliest.
Description:
I am trying to create virtualization using Xen-Hypervisor.
I have installed fedora 8 and installed xen kernel as per the document
guideless which are mentioned in the below.
1. Install Virtualization Software: su -c “yum groupinstall ‘Virtualization’”
2. ADDED STEP: su -c “yum install xen kernel-xen”
3. Check System – Administration – Services for xend
4. Check /boot/grub/grub.conf to ensure you have a xen boot option (my conf
file has this option)
title Fedora (2.6.21.7-3.fc8xen)
root (hd0,0)
kernel/xen.gz-2.6.21.7-3.fc8
module/vmlinuz-2.6.21.7-3.fc8xen ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhbg quiet
module/initrd-2.6.21.7-3.fc8xen.img
5. Reboot the machine and select proper Xen kernel: I selected
Fedora(2.6.21.7-3.fc8xen)
6. su -c “virt-manager”
7. Open a connection for “Xen” with “local”
8. Click on NEW Button
9. Enter System Name
10. Select Paravirtualized or Fully Virtualized Method
11. Locate Installation Meda ; I used
http://mirror.stanford.edu/fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/i386/os
12. Storage Space – I used Simple File
13. Connect to Host Network
14. Allocate Memory and CPU
15. Load Virtual Machine
I am facing two major issues while doing the above steps:
1. After the step 4 (while re-booting choosen the xen kenrnel mode), the
ethernet interface is not coming up.
make -c /lib/modules/2.6.21-2950.fc8xen/build
SUBDIRS=/home/meru/Desktop/tg3-3.92n modules
make : *** /lib/modules/2.6.21-2950.fc8xen/build: No such file or directory.
Stop.
I have used broadcom tg3 driver for fedora 8. But after booting with Xen Kernel
mode, ethernet was not coming up, so i was trying to install same tg3 driver for
Xen Kernel mode also. But it throws the above error.
2. While installing the OS on virtual machine, i am getting the following error
"Unable to complete install: ''The CDROM device hdc is already
used''". Find the attached error details file for this
corressponding error message.
I am trying this virtualization concept in the laptop ''Dell Latitude
E5500''
Eagarly waiting for the reply on these issue from the xen discussion group.
