Hi,
I try to install OpenSolaris DomU. Xen Version is 3.4.3-rc1, Dom0 is Ubuntu 9.10
64bit server with linux kernel 2.6.31.6 from
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git .
Hardware is Intel S5520HC server mainboard (vt-d) with latest firmware and dual
Intel Xeon E5520. System has 8 physical / 16 logical cores and 12GB ram.
My setup works, I have running linux(pv and hvm), freebsd(hvm) and windows(hvm)
virtual machines.
But I have absolutely no success in installing OpenSolaris virtual machine.
Native install works but that does not help me because I need a linux Dom0, have
special hardware with no driver support for OpenSolaris.
*1* OpenSolaris 0906 hvm:
root@vmhost:/etc/xen# xm create osol-0906-64-hvm.cfg
Using config file "./osol-0906-64-hvm.cfg".

They have been recently implemented per JF. However, i would double check via xen-devel mailing list how much blktap drivers have been tested for 2.6.31.6 Another option, try 2.6.31.8 xenified aka Suse kernel.

The blktap backend drivers in my dom0 kernel work fine with my linux, freebsd and windows virtual machines but not with opensolaris. I used them because xen wiki says use of blktap based "tap:aio:" is recommended and loop based "file:" is the old, depreciated way. People at ##xen irc also say tap:aio: should work. Whatsoever, I switched to osol-dev-131 with loop based disks and installed opensolaris without problems. Thank you. Regards Michael -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

Does osol-dev-131 work with tap:aio on your linux dom0? MRJ
