similar to: Next steps with pv_ops for Xen

In the spirit of improving communication of Fedora Xen plans to the world, below is a mail I recently circulated in the Fedora community about the direction for Xen-ified kernels from Fedora 9 and onwards. The short story, is that we intend to ship hypervisor & userspace based on Xen 3.2.0 tree, and a kernel based on latest LKML pv_ops tree and patches ontop of that to support Dom0 and

Hello, I seem to be having some troubles regarding the latest 2.6.31.6 and 2.6.32.9 Xen dom0 pv_ops trees. Our platform: -Xen 3.4.3-rc3 (also tried 3.4.2 on 2.6.31.6 pv_ops dom0) -2.6.32.9 pv_ops dom0 kernel, perhaps a week old checkout from xen/stable git (can provide changeset if requested). -100+ domU''s, all PV. Ever since we switched to a pv_ops dom0 kernel (we were using 2.6.26

Is there a version of the pv_ops kernel that will do HVM and work with fc11? I have been failing miserably trying to get it to work. I have followed Boris''s guide at: http://bderzhavets.wordpress.com/2009/06/10/setup-fedora-11-pv-domu-at-xen-3-4-1-dom0-kernel-2-6-30-rc6-tip-on-top-of-fedora-11/ But have had no success so far. I am wanting to know what is the version of the pv_ops

Hey! As I''ve already written about two days ago, I''m having major trouble getting blktap2 to work properly. After trying xen-sources-2.6.32-xen-r1 from Gentoo (where Andrew Lyon, the maintainer, has already confirmed that he''s hitting the same problem as me, i.e. the blktap2 driver is dysfunctional in the kernel), I decided to give a pv_ops-Kernel a try, and checked out

Hi, I have several servers Supermicro - running Xen 3.4.1 @ debian 5.0 x64 running without any issues for more than year. Now I bought new server with exactly same config and installed Ubuntu 10.04 x64 - Xen 4.0.1-rc4 - 2.6.32.16 pv_ops - base Ubuntu 10.04 install boot without issues - Xen 4.0.1-rc4 compiled and installed withou any problems - 2.6.32.16 pv_ops dom0 kernel with custom config.

Hi, i''ve new hardware for my XEN server. It boots pv_ops kernel now. But with my pv_ops kernel the server doesn''t power off. Even there isn''t this messages for it. When i boot a 2.6.24 from Ubuntu it power off. Regards, Stefan Kuhne _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com

Hi, is there a memory limit for Linux pv_ops domU ? On my Dom0 (2.6.31.6-dae-dom0-00751-g60e0545 / Xen 3.4.2-2) I have a guest setup with 15600MB, when I start it, Linux (2.6.32.8) see only 8GB : Feb 17 07:31:04 pacman kernel: [ 0.000000] Built 1 zonelists in Zone order, mobility grouping on.

Hello. log of the crashing boot process: http://pasik.reaktio.net/xen/pv_ops-dom0-debug/pv_ops-dom0-bootlog-14-xen331-linux-2.6.29-rc6-crash.txt 2.6.29-rc5 based pv_ops dom0 works on the same computer.. with the same Xen version. I tried with and without pci=nomsi. adding ''noapic'' doesn''t seem to help (I need that with 2.6.29-rc5 to make it work). Any ideas

Hi folks, I've finished off Xen dma support for pv_ops, and dom0 now boots! I've had an uptime of 40 minutes so far with it. Under intensive disk load it locks up with a soft lockup, but still, this is good progress. I've pushed the current bits to the "WIP" (work-in-progress) branch at the usual git repo, git://et.redhat.com/linux-2.6-dom0-pvops.git with gitweb at

I'm looking at adding Xen SMP support, so I'm trying to work out what pv_ops we need, and how to cut into the existing smp stuff. smpboot.c has a mixture of stuff which is generally useful for SMP stuff (the various CPU sets, and presumably the sibling relationships are useful in principle), but also a whole pile of APIC stuff which is irrelevent to Xen. It has these exported

Good afternoon everyone, I''m trying to compile the xen 2.6.32.x pv_ops kernel on centos 5.5 with i386 quad core xeon system (HP DL380 G3). Having some issues during the kernel compile one of which related to intel agp so I just removed it from .config and didn''t come across it again. This error here has got me stumped though: drivers/built-in.o: In function

Hi, I found latest pv_ops dom0, commit 3dd81018a392941fcc722ee521de344527481eb8, fails to boot with call trace. And commit 34ffcd2bde0018cf78d5b4f1f5427c38a3e9b502 has no such issue. Could anyone help on this issue?

Hi As you may''ve seen from my last posts I''m struggling to get the setup on my subject line to work without flaws. I''ve tried compiling the Kernel from Source, I''ve also tried Fedora 14, which has a flaky pv_ops Dom0 kernel which DOESN''T work at all, but none of these seem to work. I''m a mid-time XEN user, I just love it and want to stay
