Hi all, I''m trying to get a pci card working on a guest os (ast01) on dum0 I hided the pci card w/: # modprobe pciback hide=''(0b:08.0)'' then added this line to the guest os config file (/etc/xen/ast01) pci = [ "0000:08:0e.0" ] Whenever I try to start it fails w/: # xm create ast01 Using config file "/etc/xen/ast01".

Is serial port "passthrough" possible for the version of xen that ships with centos 5.2? I've disabled the xen hypervisor serial console, and can see the serial port in dom0. I've masked out the 8250, 8250_pnp and serial_core modules on dom0 and rebooted. xm create domain fails with the error that exactly 4 arguments are required and only 3 were given. Steps I followed: 1) I

I have built a dom 0 using a Gentoo Linux kernel. All is up and running with no errors. I downloaded a Centos 4.4 image from the web and when I rum xm I get an error 22. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong and/or where I can find more documentation on running unmodified VMX guest domains. The Xen 3.0 Users Manual is out of date. Here is the control file: sun temp # cat

I''m using FC5 with its Xen 3.0.2-2 package and 2.6.16-1.2118_FC5xen0 kernel. I''ve got a Pentium 9xx chip with virtualization enabled in the BIOS; it appears to be VT-enabled, since xm dmesg includes "(XEN) VMXON is done". I base my config file on example.hvm and on previous emails to this list. Unfortunately, I don''t get very far. xm create winxp.conf

Hi, I''m trying to create OpenSolaris (2008.11) domU on RedHat Linux dom0. I''m using a file backed VBD. I used the iso image to first launch and install OpenSolaris into the file VBD.

I am trying to run a new server with centos + xen using centos xen packages. After installation, we had to install a hardware raid card (areca) on the machine, and thus reload the os. It so happens the drivers shipped aren''t compatible with xen kernel, so i was forced to compile xen from source to compile areca drivers. Now with system running under compiled xen, i cannot boot my old

Hi all, I just compiled an installed the Xen Hypervisor, Tools and a new Kernel from the 3.1 source. The dom0 is running without problem and the xm seems to work fine, too (tried xm info, xm list, xm dmesg).

Hi, every one: I had problem creating domU on diskless device by using xen-unstable. Following, please find out details. BTW, the same configuration works fine on device with hard disk (1) Xen, dom0 kernel and dom0 root file system are loaded/mounted over via eth0 (2) DomU root file system is created in a file-backed virtual block device(VBD). The file-backed VBD locates at some directory on

Hello, I''m using Xen (installed from source - "hg clone http://xenbits.xen.org/xen-4.0-testing.hg") on Debian Lenny. Dom0 kernel is 2.6.32-bpo.5-xen-686.

Hi,    I''ve been using xVM with no problems since 2009.06 release (centos4/5, rhel4/5, sol10 as guests). This was using the 111a version.

When I try to use stubdom-dm in lieu of qemu-dm, the guest domain crashes almost immediately if I specify an emulated NIC (''vif='') in the guest configuration file. If I don''t specify a vif, it works fine. If I use the same configuration with qemu-dm instead of sutbdom-dm, it works fine. Is there some reason QEMU emulated networking doesn''t work with stub domains
