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

Hi, I have a serial modem connected to /dev/ttyS0 on my CentOS server, I want to set up this server to allow connections through this serial modem but only to the console.... (I want to log in)... PS: I don't want PPP, I just want to get my linux console through this serial modem... What do I have to configure on my linux? Thanks for your time Regards; Israel

On a C4.4 system, I want to add md5 passwords for the grub boot menu to prevent users from making selections other than the default boot options. I also want to add md5 passwords when attempting single user mode boots (may be answered by first request). The same for C5 systems. Thanks. Scott

Hello xen-users ! I am coming for help concerning the just released 4.0 version. Install has worked rather well on my Debian Lenny. I have just had a few bugs for which I have found the answer looking around on this list. I have created a Debian Lenny domU which boots up just fine. The only problem is that I am unable to get a console prompt when using "xm console nameofdomU". I do see

Hi list, I am running a virtualized server. Dom0 uses Xen 3.2.1 with Debian Etch and a custom kernel 2.6.21 created by my webhosting company. I install my domU using debootstrap for a Debian Etch with 2.6.18-6-xen-amd64 kernel. Everything works well except the fact that once the VM is started I cannot "xm console" into it. It only works while it is booting and while it is shutting

Hi all, I installed Xen 3.0.2 using Gentoo portage. The kernel boots ok to the console but when I try to login either as root or myself it won''t authenticate. I read some posts that mentioned not having a populated /dev directory but this is in place. It also contains a full range of tty* and has console in it. I''m at a loss for what to look for. The console login is ok

I have a few C5 machines on an isolated LAN that connect to a RHEL5 server via NFS and NIS for authentication. I discovered that one of the C5 workstations worked fine for NFS exporting, but refused to collaborate with the EL5 server for NIS user authentication. I had successfully connected other systems to this server without issue, but this machine was finicky. I had initially enabled

The following patches add RHEL 6 guest support to virt-v2v. This was actually quite a lot easier than I expected. * [PATCH 1/4] Update virt-v2v.conf for RHEL 6 virtio support * [PATCH 2/4] Check kudzu exists before attempting to disable it * [PATCH 3/4] Use dracut rather than mkinitrd if it's available * [PATCH 4/4] Properly convert RHEL 6 guest console

I''m currently working on moving storage services into their own domain and I''ve been looking at blktap2. I''ve been trying to get an image mounted with blktap2 and for some odd reason and tapdisk2 keeps hanging instead of quitting at the end. I haven''t removed any of the storage startup code at this point so everything should be as it normally is in xen-unstable.

I have RHEL5 Server originally configured and installed by me with Firewall enabled, but passing through NFS, Samba, and SSH. I then disabled SELinux. As you all likely recall, I had configured a test environment to get samba and nfs/nis up and running. I got it going, and recently brought it to a production server. After modifying the files on the production server and rebooting, I'm

I''m running Xen 3.2 on Debian 5.0 (Lenny) and am having trouble booting up a Debian Etch DomU. It hangs at the end when it says "Starting periodic command scheduler: cron." It''s just completely frozen. At one point I set it sit for a few hours and got back into the console and it said something about "time went backwards" but I used the

Hi all; On OS Hardening ( http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/OS_Protection ) there's a section on "Physical Protection" that includes requiring a single-user mode password. There's four lines that look something like this: echo "Require the root pw when booting into single user mode" >> /etc/inittab echo "~~:S:wait:/sbin/sulogin" >> /etc/inittab echo

Hi All, I'm trying to figure out where the inittab is for a pxeboot/kickstart installation so that I can disable virtual terminals that allow for interactive input such as CTRL+ALT+F2. I've looked in the /etc directories for the pxeboot initrd as well as the stage2 and minstg2 files. Am I missing something grossly obvious here? -- James A. Peltier Systems Analyst (FASNet),
