Yesterday, I had a PV OpenSolaris DomU stop responding. I looked on my xen machine and it was in a paused state. I ended up destroying it and then doing xm create to bring it back up. It won''t boot, and I think PyGrub is hanging. Not sure how to resolve this, there aren''t any errors being presented in xen/xm itself. If I try ''xm create config.conf'' it just

I''ve been running any number of CentOS 4 based Xen hosts and guests using CentOS 4.4, and the Xen RPM''s from www.xensource.com, and various hand-built OS images using jailtime and my own own OS images. I like the jailtime approach: One partition for / on the DomU, /dev/sda1, built as a local file or local LVM partition One partiton for swap on the DomU, /dev/sda2,

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

Hi all, I try to use kernel 2.6.36.1 in HVM but building the drivers xen-blkfront, xenfs, platform-pci. I used Xen 4.0.2-rc1-pre and a DomU is a ubuntu 10.04 and I try with ubuntu 10.10. In boot I receive error "Cannot find a root partition /dev/xvda2" and a prompt (initramfs) appear. In dmesg (initramfs) appear: blkfront: xvda: barriers enabled (tag) xvda: xvda1 vbd vbd-51712: 16

Hello again, My kernel is correct, and it''s always been correct. This error only happens if I start two or more VMs in quick sucession. If I wait a short while (i.e. time to figure out why a VM started then died) and try again, it''s fine. For testing purposes I''m using loopback files, 2 for each VM (1 filesystem, 1 swap). -- Mike Williams System Administration

I''m trying to do what I think would be relatively simple but can''t seem to make it work. Essentially I want to create several domU''s running CentOS each with it''s own LVM partition for increased performance over image files. Initially I did a test with image files and everything went fine, I booted the supplied initrd and vmlinuz images installed CentOS from

Back in January there was a mail thread on this subject ( http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2005-01/msg00659.html ), however I see that blkfront still does not include ioctl support for disk geometry. So, any application that uses "sfdisk -g" to get the geometry of a partition, or disk, will fail when run in DomU. Is this a deliberate omission? Nick Logan

I''ve got a CentOS 5.3 dom0 with Xen 3.4.1-rc5 (or so). I''ve tried the same stuff below with 3.4.0, no difference. I''m trying to install 2009.06 PV domU based on instructions from [1] and [2]. I can run the install fine, I can also get the kernel and boot archive (from [2]) after the install. But for the life of me I can''t get the installed domU to boot. If I

Hi list. Im Running xen on a brand new dell PE 1950 with 146 GB SAS Disk on raid1. The performance on the I/O on the domU is really poor, but in dom0 the performance is great. Any ideas?

Hi, I build Xen 4.1.1 on a Gentoo base dom0. Everything is working great. I tried one of Joseph Glanville''s PV-HVM image (debian6) and its working as it should. Now l''im trying to build a Gentoo based domU with then same specs as Joseph''s PV-HVM. I used a copy of the .cfg and adapted to my needs to make the gentoo work. when booting the minimal install image using

Hi, I am using Centos 5.4 x86_64 with kernel 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5xen.

Hi, I''m trying to create OpenSolaris (2008.11) domU on RedHat Linux dom0. I''m using a file backed VBD. I used the iso image to first launch and install OpenSolaris into the file VBD. Once that process is complete, I''m trying to run it using the config file below: name = ''opensolaris'' vcpus = 1 memory = "512" vif =

All, I have successfully installed CentOS 7 on a PV environment, and have been trying to see if I can can get a CentOS 8 install running. Hardware does not support virtualization extensions, hence the PV environment and I cant do HVM for the install then migrate. My understanding is that PV support is in the kernel, and that the distro of Linux shouldn't technically matter. But currently
