Hi all, I recently installed Squeeze, followed but Xen 4.0. A few notes of things I've run into while installing. The network script part of the xend-config.sxp does not appear to work. Everything would boot find until I uncommented that line and tried to set it up per the Debian Xen wiki. I managed to get bridging to work using the debian network bridge tools, brctl. Xen does not recognize when a guest has shutdown. If I type 'xm shutdown guestID', it sends the command and when I open a console I can see that the OS has halted but Xen won't let me delete the domain and show's it's state as running. When I shutdown dom0, it hangs when trying to shutdown the guest domains since it never realizes they have halted. Ultimately I can shut them down then destroy them but this seems like a bug. This is probably not a bug but just more a question. I'd like to expand the resolution for my vnc connection. I've added "extra 'xenfb.video=8,1024,768'" to my guests config file but it never recognizes it. Is there another way I should be doing this? Thanks for all the hard work! I was amazed at how it easy it was to get running despite the little hickups. -- Ted Brenner -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Is there another way I should be doing this?In the Squeeze kernel the module is called "xen-fbfront" so does "xen-fbfront.video=blah" work? Did you get xenfb.video from somewhere specific? If so it probably needs an update.

Just wanted to check again if anyone is aware of a bug where Xen won't recognize that a guest has shutdown. Everything is working great for me except this one thing.
