Hello! I have problems with installation of Xen 3.1 in OpenSUSE 10.2. I have unpacked the xen 3.1 tarball and installed software using #sh ./install.sh Then I have modified /boot/grub/menu.lst and now it looks like: title openSUSE 10.2 root(hd0,2) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.2-34-default root=/dev/sda3 vga=0x314 resume=/dev/sda2 initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18.2-34-default title

Hi. I am trying to make initrd for xen0 but I am not successful. I receive error: #yaird error: Could not read output for /sbin/modprobe -v -n --show-depends --set-version 2.6.16.33-xen0 evdev (fatal). If I do that just for xen kernel (not xen0) it goes without any problem. I guest I have to use initrd for xen0 otherwise it does not want to boot. Similarly, xen kernel without initrd will not

OK, I have just pushed out klibc-0.130; it significantly updates the run-init program (again... PLEASE TEST IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT) based on, but not identical to, Alexander's suggestions; it also adds s390/x patches from Arnd Bergmann. -hpa

Hi, had a few problems with using xen: First: built a xen from source (tgz) and make dist ... then made initrd with mkinitrd and modules=all in the mkinitrd.conf -> initrd.img was 14mb and set it up in the grub with module /initrd.... on boot it loads the initrd like: Loading ramdisk into ram .... done but then NO MODULES in the initrd are being loaded by the kernel, though initrd

hi all, i want to install xen3.1 on my system, suse linux enterprise server 10 SP1 (kernel 2.6.16.46-0.12). i download the tarball binary file. it contains only "vmlinuz-2.6.18-xen" and "xen-3.1.gz", no initrd. but see the following code in my grub menu.lst, it seems like i need the initrd file. i tried the installation with this binary Tarball, it didn''t work.

Hello, I''ve this strange problem. When Xen kernel start and it try to start eth devices, network doesn''t work. It seems to be a problem with NICs firmware. Anyone had this problem? Do you know where I can download firmware upgrade? (on DELL''s site I''ve just searched...) Thanks, Carlo No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Hello, I want to implement a diskless xen hypervisor. The way I suppose it will work is xen booted over pxe and getting iscsi san storage to store vm images. Is solution like that usable ? _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Hi, I have an Slackware 12.1 running on Intel Core2Quad, 4 Gb RAM. (The result of dmesg is attached on this e-mail) I have downloaded ''Xen 3.3.0 official source distribution tarball'' from www.xen.org. Run make world, make install. Have no errors. Installed GRUB correctly and added the following lines on menu.list: title Xen 3.3 root (hd0,1) kernel /xen.gz dom0_mem = 262144

...question though; I am not supplying any modules. The kernel has everything needed for startup compiled in. Is it possible to build the initd image on the dev machine (unning the older kernel) for the target in a straight-forward fashion, with make? Or do I hav to fake the target machine config for mkinitramfs? Any pointers? 3) Any kernel I tried so far will only boot with noapic acpi=off, so I provided that for Xen, too. Is this feature reliable? Can I rely on Xen to pass these parameters on to the Linux kernel (or does it inherit the settings)? (I read it in the documentaion, but then again, APIC and...

Hi. FYI, the proposed workaround in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=420754#5 helps solve the issue. I've patched /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions, then issued : mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-4-xen-686 2.6.18-4-xen-686 After that : the lib/ in the initrd image contains the libcrypt.so.1 lib ... As to know why sh needs libcrypt.so... it seems weird to me but that's just a naive opinion. These bugs should probably be merged... but I hope someone more qua...
