Hi, is anyone still working on this? Are there unofficial packages somewhere? I find it disappointing that no solution has been found in three years. /me sighs and reads the build-it-yourself instructions.

pv-grub is also the best/only way to run hurd under xen: http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/microkernel/mach/gnumach/ports/xen.html#index4h1 it's also the best way by far to run netbsd without a separate /boot Cheers, Brian Szymanski -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

When will we see progress on this? pvgrub is the newer and better thing, and it's the only way to do many things. For one thing, It should make it easier to boot an OS on a partitioned block device, pygrub can't do that unless you probe the paritions first and make then visible on Dom0 - a hassle. Otherwise, it would just simply do what real GRUB can really do. I would really like to

Hello Xen-users, I am trying to load two executables into a single VM at different addresses. The goal is to pass control to the first executable, which will treat the second executable as data. Can PV-Grub be used to accomplish this? I suspect ordinary Grub should be able to do this, outside of Xen, with a configuration like this: menu.lst: title a multiboot test root (hd0,0)

Hi all, I use xen-4.0.1 from unstable repository (built from the source with pbuilder) and I can't find pv-grub on my hard disk. I don't find anything related to this in changelog nor on the web. Anyone knows how to find and use pv-grub on debian ? Thanks -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

I''m trying to figure out how to get pv-grub to work in OpenStack on Fedora 17''s xen-4.1.2 packaging. I added pv-grub-x86_64.gz from the package as a kernel in glance (becoming /var/lib/nova/instances/instance-0000001b/kernel in this example). OpenStack created this vm definition: <domain type=''xen'' id=''21''>

Add a couple of documentation details about PV-GRUB support - the menu.lst content can be passed as a ramdisk. - virtual partitions are not supported.

Hi, I have Xen installed and running several (win 7) HVMs. I've setup an Arch linux PV guest but I am having a problem booting it. (The install image booted fine.) After each failed attempt to boot I try to view the /var/log/xen/bootloader.XX.log file but all of these files are zero bytes. So, I'm having some trouble troubleshooting this. I followed the instructions from

Why there is no pv-grub in debian packages? Pygrub exposes dom0.

Hi list, i''m running xen 3.2 on an ubuntu hardy 8.04 server installed from repo. My domU are hardy servers too Sometime happens that if a domU crashes i''ve to reboot the entire dom0. Of course it''s quite annoying and seems to frustrate the virtualization concept at all ... My machine isn''t vt-d enabled. (2x XEON 3.0GHz) Is it possible to run PV-Grub?

Hi, I''m booting some Ubuntu 12.04 ( kernel 3.2.x ) on a Debian Xen 4.1 (kernel 3.8.x) and the time is wrong at boot, sometime by quite a bit of time (I''ve seen several minutes). What is the process for a VM to acquire it''s initial wall clock time ? And is anyone aware of issues with it ? I''ve seen some recent talk in -dev but that was PVHVM, here

Hey guys, what I am trying to do is a chainload into grub2 installation in a DomU. So far I determined, PV-GRUB does not understand grub2''s grub.cfg notation. So I created a dummy menu.lst which has the needed root kernel and initrd rows and then referenced this to the DomUs config. The main intention to do this, is to be able to use kernel upgrades without touching the menu.lst for

to convert hvm to pv guest, I have followed the direction( link<http://pastebin.com/f6a5022bf>) in Xen-Users Common Questions Guide. It says the first step is "install kernel-xen with correct initrd" After "yum install kernel-xen" was executed, following errors were showed: WARNING: No module xen_vbd found for kernel 2.6.18-164.15.1.el5xen, continuing anyway grubby

While installing the experemental kernel on a CentOS 7 PV the following happened. After a reboot of the PV the kernel looks to be installed but there is no option for booting it in grub. I attempted to run yum reinstall kernel-4.9.75-204.el7.centos.x86_64 and it installed fine but still no entry in grub. No initramfs existed and I found kernel-modules did not install properly so I then ran

PV-GRUB is really awesome, however I noticed that it spins at 100% cpu, even while just sitting at its prompt. Just a heads-up... Thanks, -Chris _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
