...a different way ... Thanks to the (great!) quick work on making the plus kernel available (in #14330, thanks for that!) I was able to test the following combinations: - 3.10.0-693.11.6.el7.centos.plus works fine on XenServer 7 HVM guests - 3.10.0-693.11.1.el7.centos.plus works fine on XenServer 7 XenPV guests - 3.10.0-693.11.6.el7.centos.plus crashes on boot for XS7 XenPV guests immediately after the boot stage where the PS/2 drivers are loaded Crashing does not depend on the amount of VM memory or #cores/sockets. Also, the tell-tale "mm/vmalloc.c" failure output is no longer present...

...isplay state. This sounded very intriguing so I did a little experimentation today doing exactly that. First of all I''ve copied tools/xenfb/xenfb.c into the qemu/hw/xenfb.c file. Next I added a qemu/hw/xen.c file to provide the implementation of the QEMU machine type - called ''xenpv''. All the interesting code (all 100 lines of it) is in hw/xen.c in the xen_init_pv method - which is called when using the ''-M xenpv'' command line arg. The first thing this does is get the domain ID - to avoid touching QEMU''s command line args, I just use an...

26470:acaf29203cf9 "tools+stubdom: install under /usr/local by default" moved more stuff under /usr/local than was desirable. In particular SYSCONFIG_DIR (configuration for initscripts) moved to /usr/local/etc/{sysconfig,defaults} while the initscripts themselves (correctly) remained in /etc/init.d. Moving /etc/xen/scripts breaks the udev bakcned rules file. Lastly stuff under /var was

Linux.file_owner is not used by any other function, so remove it. Linux.is_file_owned is only used when removing kmod-xenpv on old RHEL releases, and so is only required to work for RPM. The old file_owner/is_file_owned functions were completely broken. This replaces them with a simpler, working implementation that only covers the narrow use case of removing kmod-xenpv non-owned directories. Thanks: Ming Xie for findi...

Don't remove the Processor and Intelppm nodes since that just breaks the device driver. The only remaining node being removed by the original code was "rhelscsi" (the xenpv-win driver). I changed this so that instead of deleting the whole node, it simply disables that driver. If you look at RHBZ#737600, it's not even clear that deleting nodes was the right fix for anything. I also renamed the function. --- v2v/convert_windows.ml | 23 ++++++----------------- 1...

I''m going to set up a PVM on xen-3.3.1 debian-amd64. I need advices about the best methods to install a fresh debian on it (i.e. how to choose the kernel for pvm) . I''ve installed xen from sources and only have one xen kernel in /boot which I''m using for dom0; should I use the same kernel for domUs? There is any problem on use vcpus=2; the other vm is an hvm running
