After hours of googling and not really finding a definitive solution to my problem, I''m a little stuck and would really appreciate some help from others. I have a CentOS 5.4 x86-64 server running Xen 3.3 from the gitco repos as dom0. On this I have created two logical volumes comprising 8GB for the system disk (xvda) and 1.5GB for swap (xvdb). I ran mkfs.ext3 and mkswap on these to

Hi Debian Grub maintainer, In december, Xen PVH support has been committed in grub master: https://www.mail-archive.com/grub-devel at gnu.org/msg28125.html The last pieces needed in the Linux kernel to boot PVH with grub2 landed in Linux 4.20. I asked our kernel team to carry those patches on top of the Linux 4.19 kernel that is going to ship in Buster, and that wish was granted:

The number of distributions that are dropping grub 1 support is raising. Tody I received a notification from Arch Linux who are also doing this. The problem with this situation is when a distro installs grub2 because of a package dependency. So what I would like to know is whether there are more alternatives for PV than pvgrub. ExtLinux or pvgrub2 would be nice.. Mark

Christoph, I understand this is the better option if HVM is available.. Im not sure how to make use of this kernel in a non-HVM, PV environment. I'm a little disturbed by the fact that there isnt PV support in CentOS 8, I hope it comes later so at least PVH becomes an option. As for using this kernel in a PV only environment, the only route would be attempting an in place upgrade and try to

Hi I cant start a hvm domU with more than 3 nic's configured... why? it is a bug? With previous versions it was possible... here the config - it is an opnsense (openbsd) hvm domU: name = "fenrir.chao5.int" uuid = "7aedcd03-54e8-4055-8d1b-37dd34194859" maxmem = 2048 memory = 2048 loader = '/usr/lib64/xen/boot/hvmloader' type = "hvm" vcpus = 2

It seems to be a problem with kernel... I use the kernel-ml there (5.5.6)... with kernel from centos-virt repo (4.9.*) it works without this problem... --- ------ Greetz Am 27.02.2020 07:50, schrieb Christoph: > Hi > > I cant start a hvm domU with more than 3 nic's configured... why? it is > a bug? > With previous versions it was possible... > > here the config - it is

Hello @ all, i wonder if there is any support for Xen PVH (https://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_Project_Software_Overview) within libvirt. If i parse a xen native domU config file with 'virsh domxml-from-native' in which i set type='pvh' it changes it in the libvirt xml output to normal pv. Also the docs of libvirt do not state something like pvh. I am currently running Xen 4.10.0 with

so it appears that PVGRUB requires that I specifiy (in my domain config file) either the -x86_64 or the -x86_32 version. Does anyone have a clever way I can let my users switch between x86_64 and i386 without giving them access to the domain config file? Preferably, something more secure than PyGRUB? I was considering hacking up PyGRUB so that it only allows the user a choice of

Hello, The attached patch adds bzip2 and lzma/xz libs to stubdom for pvgrub. This is the first step of getting the additional compression methods supported in pvgrub. There''s still some Makefile voodoo to sort out before pvgrub actually properly gets linked against these new libs. This patch only adds the libs and makes them build. -- Pasi

Hi, Having a problem getting a domu to boot correctly. When I enter xl create guest it boots straight into grubdom. If I enter the config location in grubdom t boots as expected. The location of the grub.cfg is the same in my domu config as what in entering but just will not work. Any ideas? Ian .

There is some interest lately in making a self-contained grub2 boot image - call it pvgrub2, used for booting paravirtual domU in xen where a grub2 config is installed. First attempt------------------ I first tried using the grub2*.src.rpm from the C7 vault. I configured as shown belowhttps://blog.xenproject.org/2015/01/07/using-grub-2-as-a-bootloader-for-xen-pv-guests/ for headers, I used

Hi could you add pv grub2 images to the packages? I've tried it following this howto: https://blog.xenproject.org/2015/01/07/using-grub-2-as-a-bootloader-for-xen-pv-guests/ and it works really good... It would be nice to have it in the rpm packages. -- ---------- Greetz Christoph
