Do we want to move the Xen4CentOS kernel to new LTS 3.10.x from the current 3.4.x Kernel? If so, can we start testing the that kernel build? Is someone from Xen.org working on porting the xen specific patches that are required in the 3.10.x kernel from the ones we have in the 3.4.x tree in Xen4CentOS? The only one I know we need is the blktap module. I have created a new spec that builds a

I think this may have been asked before, but what would it take to get debuginfo packages built for the Xen4CentOS kernels? If it's just a patch for kernel.spec file that nobody has gotten around to, what is the best starting place for making that patch? Thanks, Sarah

All, I have compiled an experimental 3.18.12 kernel from the 3.18 LTS kernel branch from kernel.org for the Xen4Centos 6 tree. http://people.centos.org/hughesjr/xen-kernel/x86_64/ This should be considered extremely experimental at this point and is unsigned. I have tested it on 2 generic servers and it worked fine on both of those with sata and gigabit ethernet. Please test this and provide

Hello, I've been using Xen4CentOS for the last 3 months. It's working fine and dom0/domUs are stable but the server does a kernel panic when doing a reboot and the server has to be hard reset manually. It has kernel panic on the 3 last reboot. Please stand by while rebooting the system... INFO: task reboot:19800 blocked for more than 120 seconds "echo 0 >

Folks near New York City may want to come hear Johnny Hughes talk about Xen4CentOS and the Virtualization SIG next Monday at the Xen Project User Summit.

It looks like no XSA-142 patch, which is "libxl fails to honour readonly flag on disks with qemu-xen" has been applied to Xen4CentOS. I assume this was on purpose? If not, I can have someone try adding the original patch from http://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/advisory-142.html and some variant of the commit from ef6cb76026628e26e3d1ae53c50ccde1c3c78b1b

Hi, Trying to get a handle on the 'not included' aspects of Xen4CentOS. Anyone care to share their experiences with xm vs virtinstall vs virt-manage. Currently I'm running one xm create config to launch a CentOS cd based kickstart install, then I use a second xm create config to run the created systems. Thoughts on pvgrub and running unmodified kernels from within the pv guest. Is

By default, /var/lib/xenstored is mounted tmpfs in centos 5 but this doesn't appear to be true for Xen4CentOS. This can cause performance issues as mentioned in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=446089 I'm not sure if this should be part of xencommons, but if not, adding a tmpfs mount should probably be documented on the quick start wiki page. Thanks, Sarah

There is an error in libvirt when rebooting or shutting down with a running xen domain on Xen4Centos6 When libvirtd tries to shutdown, it tries to suspend the running machine and fails with: VirDomainManagedSave error: this function is not supported by the connection driver Does anyone know how to patch libvirt 0.10.2.x to work around this issue. -------------- next part -------------- A

Hi, I have a server with Supermicro X7DVL-3 (P9) motherboard, 16G ECC RAM and LSI SAS 1068e RAID controller. I installed CentOS 6.5 64bit on the machine without any problems, but after following the Xen setup steps at http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/Xen4QuickStart which installed me the kernel 3.10.32-11.el6.centos.alt.x86_64, I encountered a problem: After "Starting certmonger
