similar to: linux-image-2.6.18-3-xen-686 on Etch with custom config?

Hi, maybe I'm missing something fundamental but I can't seem to be able to build a custom kernel-image.deb for xen. I was able to build the linux-2.6 with xen images from the repository and build a vmlinux file using the directions from upstream Xen. But I've had no luck with make-kpkg. Can anyone give me some hints? MfG Goswin

Hi, first of all, apologies if this isn't the right mailing list but it was the best I could find. If you know a better mailing list, please tell me. Today I tried to defrag one of my filesystems. It's a 3.5T large filesystem that has 6 software-raids in the bottom and then merged together using lvm. I was running ext3 but removed the journal flag with thor:~# tune2fs -O ^has_journal

Hi, I hope I''m right here. If not then please point me in the right direction. My problem in short: I have problems using (pinning, mmu_update) physical pages from 0x900000 to 0xB1000 usualy. I''m writing my own little amd64 64bit toy kernel (based on Mini-OS as starting point) for xen and I run into problems with the way the start of day sets up the physical pages. My kernel

I am currently running kernel 2.6.18-6-686 on Debian Etch 40r3. I am trying to install xen on it. I tried installing linux-image-2.6.18-6- xen-686, but when I restarted, it doesn''t boot instead shows a kernel panic. I ran #apt-get install linux-image-2.6.18-6-xen-686 and changed /boot/grub/menu.lst file to point to current xen kernel. While rebooting it showed kernel panic and

Hi All, Fairly new to Debian and Xen but I have a box running with lots of DomUs under Xen2 and it is fine. I have setup a new IBM eServer P4 and loaded Etch and loaded Xen3. It runs up my first DomU beautifully but when I start my second DomU it crashes the PC and reboots. If I comment out the line in /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp (network-script network-bridge) It will run 2 DomUs Have I run

Hi, has anyone build a linux-2.6.16 deb that can be used to compile xen? The default unstable package does not seem to have any xen patches included, only the /debian/arch/amd64/xen dir for the .config files. MfG Goswin

Hi there, I've done an apt-get source linux-image-2.6.18-4-xen-686 and would very much like to build a package with NFS root enabled. From what I've read, I need to run split-config, which I got from SVN (it doesn't seem to exist anywhere else) I've fooled around with split-config to produce a config to my spec but this doesn't seem to actually work. Usage:

Hi guys, I am trying to get bonding work on a debian etch system. I searched already in the mailing list but unfortunately I couldnt find a proper solution. This is what i did so far. - Installed Debian Etch on my server - Installed the following packages for using Xen from the Debian repository: xen-hypervisor-3.0.3-1-i386-pae linux-image-2.6.18-5-xen-686 linux-image-2.6.18-5-xen-686 xen-tools

Hi, I''m trying to use the SYSCALL/SYSRET opcodes with a minios kernel without much success. Going by the manuals (and linux sources) I first have to setup the STAR and LSTAR registers to define the segment and instruction pointer to be used for SYSCALL: /* * LSTAR and STAR live in a bit strange symbiosis. * They both write to the same internal register. STAR allows

Package: xen-utils-3.0.3-1 Version: 3.0.3-0-2 Severity: wishlist Xen can run 32bit domU clients on 64bit (amd64) dom0. Unfortunately only amd64 linux-image-xen packages are available on arch amd64. Please provide 686 packages as well (if possible). This would enable the installation of 32bit clients without the need to manually compile a kernel. Feel free to reassign this bug to the correct

Hoi, I am trying to get a 32 bit Debian Etch system up & running with kernel 2.6.26 from backports. The system boots fine with 2.6.26-bpo-1-686 but cannot boot with 2.6.26-bpo.1-xen-686, see below. The Xen kernel loads the disc controller (dpt_i2o) OK and detects the RAID array successfully but still can''t mount its root filing system. Any ideas? kind regards, Jan Begin: Running

Hi, I just created a Xen domU using http to install over the network. How do I now restart the domU and use the installed OS? I gather I need a initrd image to boot my guest. I''ve found bits and pieces of answers to my question referring to mkinitrd, but none seem to work. I am running Scientific Linux 5. Thanks in advance, Cam _______________________________________________

Package: xen-hypervisor-3.2-1-i386 Version: 3.2.0-2 Severity: normal I'm afraid this bug report will be somewhat unspecific. Please let me know what I need to do in order to extract more useful information out of xen. I have done the following to install xen: installed xen-hypervisor-3.2-1-i386, xen-utils-3.2-1, linux-image-2.6.23-1-xen-686 fixed /usr/sbin/update-grub (see bug #455706)

I installed xen 3.3.0 on a etch box from sources. I just modified the standard kernel cause of some hardware drivers. I installed xen-tools from backports (3.9-3~bpo40+1). To create a domU ist not the problem. I can connect via ssh and everything works fine. But when i start a domU with "xm create host.example.tld.cfg -c" to login to console from domU it hangs after the message

Hello, I am trying to install xen in a debian box. I have installed your packages for etch version. In that package, in the documentation, in the README.Debian.gz file, you say: "...The only thing we can give you is the patch, which is included in the linux-patch-xen package. You are expected to install this package, download a 2.6.12 kernel from kernel.org (this is the version supported

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I read in a message of december that packages of Xen 3.0.4 are expected in experimental by the end of Jan. Actually I didn't find anything in experimental. Since all my tries to create a kernel with xen 3.0.4 failed miserably with compiler errors. I had success only with the utilities packages, but I'm not even sure that they work. Is there

Hello !

Hi! I am experiencing some small annoyances with my DW3-installation. After installing DW (http://www.openaddict.com/node/25), it works almost perfectly, except that context menus (triggered by right-click) are just disapperaring after a millisecond. File, Edit-menus etc. works fine, just as in Windows. Is this a GTK issue? Suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

I''m a bit confused about the kernel used by the Xen hypervisor. I''ve just installed a 30 day trial of XenSource''s Enterprise edition software on a Sun Fire 4600. It was my understanding that it would install a 64 bit hypervisor, however, upon running uname -a on my machine, I am told that I am running a i686 kernel. Did I miss something? How does one use a 64 bit
