similar to: pygrub and xm-debian.cfg, other notes on lenny test

Hi, Host: CentOS 5.5 Guest: Ubuntu maverick I am having a horrid time trying to create a guest on my xen machine. I have tried several method. The method that I have had the most success with is `xm create`. The problem I have is that once the I have run: xm create -c myconfig.cfg install=true install-mirror=http://mirror.bytemark.co.uk/ubuntu/ install-suite=maverick and go all the way

Trying to create a 32 bit domU is unsuccessful. I also tried some of the older builds from http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/images and found similar problems Can someone point me to an installer kernel that will work? dom0: Linux dom0test 2.6.18-6-xen-amd64 #1 SMP Tue Aug 19 06:15:09 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux Hardware: Intel Pentium D 960 with EMT64 /etc/xen# xm create -c xm-debtest1.cfg

Hi all, a newbie question.

Hello. I just tried (as my first attempt in xenning) to set up a lenny amd64 domU on a partitionable Mirror RAID (/dev/md_d0p1 - /dev/md_d0p4), using the Debian installer from "people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/images/daily/". The partitions of the md will be represented inside the domU as /dev/xvda1-4 accordingly. The dom0 seems to run fine, it''s Xen 3.2.1 on amd64 lenny. The

I have got a Centos 5.3 i386. I would like to install a Debian Lenny paravirtualized domU.

Package: xen-utils-4.1 Version: 4.1.3-7 Severity: normal The grub.cfg created by a default Debian installation uses many configuration statements that pygrub does not recognize, and pygrub is unable to find any kernel to load. ...Marvin -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500,

Booting a fedora 19 domU failed because a it could not properly parse the grub.cfg file. This was cased by set default="${next_entry}" This statement actually is within an ''if'' statement, so maybe it would be better to skip code within if/fi blocks...

Hi, I''ve prepared a Ubuntu 10.04 LTS server on a Xen 3.2-1 host running Debian Lenny on kernel 2.6.26-2-xen-amd64. The Ubuntu 10.04 domU is running a 2.6.32-24-server kernel from the Ubuntu repositories, which is (must be :-) ) xen-aware. The domU uses pygrub to boot and it works like a charm. Now I''m trying to deploy this domU on a Xen 3.2-1 host running Debian Etch on kernel

Hello, I can''t solve my problem. I want a 32 bits Lenny domU into a 64 bits Lenny dom0. I plan to use pygrub for that (xen 3.2.1). So, I tried to debootstrap a 32 bits domU into a 64 bits dom0. debootstrap --arch=i386 --include=libc6-xen,firmware-bnx2,linux-image-2.6.26-1-xen-686,linux-modules-xen-686,linux-image-xen-686,grub --components=main,contrib,non-free lenny /mnt/xen

Package: xen-utils-3.2-1 Version: 3.2.1-2 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hi, There is a bug xen-3-3.2.1/tools/libfsimage/reiserfs/fsys_reiserfs.c, it is using "unsigned long" which is 64 bits on amd64 arch and 32 bits on i386 arch. This makes pygrub can't work on reiserfs on amd64 arch. You can easily reproduce it. A patch is included for fixing this problem. diff

Hello everyone, I grabbed xen-3.3.1 sources from the Mercurial repository (xen-3.3-testing.hg, changeset 475:1cf755387728, from Oct. 23, 2008) and built Xen from these sources on a 32-core (8 quad core Barcelona CPUs) SunFire machine, running an Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardyy Heron) distribution. Everything seemed to be going OK until I booted an HVM (also Ubuntu 8.04) domain. That domain boots normally but

Package: xen-utils-common Version: 3.2.0-2 Severity: wishlist Hi, It would be very useful it /usr/bin/pygrub was available -- it should be a symlink (or wrapper) that points to the real version in the Xen hypervisor. That would mean that the domain configuration for xen domains could be (relatively) static when upgrades are occuring between hypervisor versions. Thanks, Anand -- System

Hello, I would like to use the kernel in the domU, so that a user can install it's own kernel.
