I and some other people have problems with running the freedos image included in Ultimate Boot CD (UBCD), when using memdisk for floppy emulation. Memdisk starts booting the image and freedos shows the following menu: 0 Boot Clean 1 Boot UMBPCI (silent) 2 Boot UMBPCI (optimal) 3 Boot UMBPCI (semi-defensive) 4 Boot EMM386 (optimal) 5 Boot EMM386 (semi-defensive) 6 Boot no UMB (defensive) 7 Boot

Hi, attached (hopefully ;-)) you'll find patches against the current SVN for xen-3.0 and xen-common to support Xen 3.1. Packages I've build with them run fine under Debian Etch for a couple of days now (with the official 2.6.18-4-xen kernel). But I am sure there will be some issues. I did not do any modifications regarding versioning - something that changes with Xen 3.1.

I''m getting this message (subject line) in daemon.log every time I start or restart xend. I''m not sure if this is related to the fact that I cannot boot up my Windows domU from a VHD file. The Windows domU was working fine with Xen 4.0.0 (with 2.6.32.14 dom0 kernel). When I upgraded to Xen 4.0.1-rc4 (with 2.6.32.16 dom0 kernel), I can no long boot the Windows domU from VHD. The

Hi, I am running XEN 4.1 on Debian 6 and I cannot find blktapctrl process running. xend is started. I installed XEN from 4.1 source following instructions here: http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenParavirtOps http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Xen4.0 Should there be a blktapctrl process running in this version? The problem I have encountered is that I can create a domain on a raw disk image but

I run my production DomU''s using Xen 3.4.1 at the moment with the old 2.6.18.x dom0 kernel. I just built a new Xen version (4.0.1-rc5) with jemerys git repo of 2.6.32.16 dom0 pvops kernel. When starting domains the go instantly into a paused state and eventually i see this error on the command line. [root@host test1]# xm create -c vps.config Using config file

Hello, I just upgraded my 64-bits dom0 from Etch to Lenny, I am still running the 2.6.18 Xen kernel by apt-pinning it (see later). But now xend does not start anymore: ------------ xen:~# /etc/init.d/xend start Starting XEN control daemon: xendTraceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/xen-3.0.3-1/bin/xend", line 40, in <module> from xen.xend.server import SrvDaemon

Waldi, There's a few things I'm intending to look at for the Xen packaging in Jessie, which I thought it might be useful to share with you. If there's anything on this list you explicitly do not want done please let me know so I don't waste my time, likewise if there are any which you intend to work on yourself. Otherwise I shall tackle these as and when I get a chance and post

I have never been able to get tap:aio devices running. When I try it in a Linux PV domain, it says: XENBUS: Waiting for devices to initialise: 295s... And they don''t work in my GPLPV drivers, which is the problem I am trying to solve, but I''d like to see them work under Linux first. Is there anything extra I need to do? I have loaded the xenblktap module (forgot to do this

Hi everyone, as what I''ve learned form this link<http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/blktap>, i know that when i specify tap:aio I’m actually using the blktap driver and finally using "tapdisk" to wirite to raw image file. but the truth is even when i delete /usr/sbin/tapdisk the domU can still boot on my machine with tap:aio protocol after a deeper look into the scene,

Hi all I was reading through Xen 3 user manual and saw this tap:aio should be used instead of loopback... Then I came to do that, but I can get it working with replacing `file'' URI''s with `tap:aio''.

I''m running SLES10 SP1 and have been using file:/ for my file-backed domUs. The domUs sit on a shared OCFS2 SAN-backed filesystem and are run on my three or four XEN servers. I''m having issues with the loopback devices not being released when the domUs shutdown or migrate, so I decided to switch over to tap:aio for my file-backed domUs. This isn''t working, either.

Trying to add a new samba 4 domain controller to an existing Windows 2003 domain. There are two existing domain controllers: dc1.home.aaronson.com and dc2.home.aaronson.com. As you can see below, samba 4 dies during the join. I am stumped. Dcdiag throws no errors on the existing controllers. Any ideas/ ubuntu at sulu:/usr/local/samba# sudo bin/samba-tool domain join home.aaronson.com

As any other daemon, I''d assume it should be possible to restart xenstored (i.e. if it crashed or if, during development, a fix was made to it that needs to be tested). However, as I learned after over a day of digging, things don''t work anymore after doing so: Since the watches are transient, they''re lost with the daemon going away. Right now I specifically need this in

Hi Konrad I encountered a bug when trying to bring offline a cpu then online it again in HVM. As I''m not very familiar with HVM stuffs I cannot come up with a quick fix. The HVM DomU is configured with 4 vcpus. After booting into command prompt, I do following operations. # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/online # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/online With

Hi guys, First of all, sorry for my poor english. This is my first message at this list. I''m using Xen on several machines since last November. Right now I''m having a specific problems with 2 servers: both are losing the network on dom0 but all guest systems are still running fine. Looking at those dom0 logs I''ve discovered that sometimes linux kernel OOM-Killer
