similar to: network probs trying to get nfs root to work

Hi guys, Maybe one of you quickly can tell me if the x86_64 kernel configuration option CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION is supposed to work under Xen? I''ve used an ia32 root file system together with CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION inside qemu-system-x86_64 for quite a while now (without xen). It works pretty well. However, when I try this with xen-unstable-9514 all I get is general protection errors...

I get the following warning when running xend start, and a similar warning sometimes when doing xm commands: /usr/lib/python/xen/xend/XendNode.py:26: RuntimeWarning: Python C API version mismatch for module xen.lowlevel.xc: This Python has API version 1012, module xen.lowlevel.xc has version 1011. import xen.lowlevel.xc /usr/lib/python/xen/xend/xenstore/xstransact.py:10: RuntimeWarning:

It''s effectively a point to point link, allowing domain 0 to connect on to the bridge in the same manner that other domains do. (before, packets to domain 0 were short-cutted and came off the

From: Geert Stappers <stappers at debian.org> To make klibc-ipconfig transmit the DHCP vendor class "d-i" and get the DHCP preseeding filename in a text file, it needs the attached patch. belows patch allows ipconfig to be used in Debian installer once the hostname is sent too, see http://blog.andrew.net.au/2006/05/17#d-i_dhcp_hacking Signed-off-by: maximilian attems <maks at

DHCP options like domain-name or hostname are written to /tmp/net-$DEVICE.conf which is typically later used by other scripts to determine the network configuration. This is done by sourcing the /tmp/net-$DEVICE.conf file to get all defined variables. This patch escapes the DHCP options written to /tmp/net-$DEVICE.conf to prevent arbitrary code execution.

Hi, ipconfig is used in ltsp (thin clients) initramfs. Some of the users have to have 2 dhcp servers in ltsp environments, so they hit on this problem: The first dhcp request is from the pxe rom boot code. This code ignores any dhcp offers that don't have a filename field. So they always get the correct address, from the ltsp server. The second dhcp request (in initramfs) is done by

I have been googling and searching the archive , haven''t got anything helpful. Would appreciate any help. Got the follow error when trying to start a domain using NFS root IP-Config: Incomplete network configuration information.

I ran some iperf tests today and it looks like the etherbridge is the limiting factor on throughput. In the beforetime, I saw great throughput to the VMs; over 800 Mbps. With the bridge, the numbers are in the 400s somewhere. Is this the speed I can expect from the bridge? Is there some tuning I should try, or another way to get more bandwidth into the VMs? This is with xen-2.0, 2.4.27-xen0

Hi. I'm trying to get around the problem of an overloaded tftp server causing a pxelinux client hanging at the boot: prompt, waiting for input (no one will input anything to it). The server is OK enough to give the pxebootloader but not the config file, as in this thread: http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2004-June/003662.html So, in that case, I guess setting TIMEOUT to some

Hello all, I have finally successfully booted a diskless NFS Gentoo client and I am very pleased with it! I only have one issue left I'd like to understand; the master Gentoo server that I based my diskless image from boots nicely via dhcp and accepts the hostname parameter its DHCP server passes along with its leased IP address. I have posted in the Gentoo forum, but thought I'd post

We have found a critical problem with the XEN 3.1 release (for those who are running 15-20 VMs on a single server). We are using the official XEN 3.1 release on a rackable server (Dual-Core AMD Opteron, 8GB RAM). The problem we are seeing is that intermittently vifs fail to work properly in VMs after we create around 15-17 VMs on our server (all running at the same time, created one by

Hello, I've got several machines which I'm trying to netboot, the setup is a bootserver using dhcpd3 and tftpd-hpa. When a machine boots up, it gets an ip address and downloads pxelinux.0 from the server, then it starts searching for pxelinux.cfg/[MACADDRESS] pxelinux.cfg/0A0000F0 and so on. On the server side I see in the syslog the client's DHCP-request and the client downloading

Has anyone been able to get domU NFS boots working with any version of Xen 4.x? If so, can you please post your config? Both the dom0 Xen version & kernel, as well as the domU config file. I''ve spent a lot of time running through all the docs, HOWTO''s and published configs and assorted patches for Ubuntu 9x-10x and Xen 4x trying NFS booting with each. I''m not going

Hi i''m trying to run Xen on my amd64. Installed is Debian 3.1 sarge i386 and Xen 2.0.7, my whole enviroment is 32 bit.

Hi all, I tried to boot up a VM using two options (a) reading boot information from a config file (b) adding boot information directly to the command line. However, I got "IP-Config: Unable to set interface netmask (-22)" problem when using option (b). For (a), I don''t have such problem. The boot information for both (a) and (b) is same. Could you please let me know what I am

So given the file.. /startdirectory/subdirectory1/subdirectory2/filetobecopied I need to include / /subdirectory1 /subdirectory1/subdirectory2 I could just include the entire directory structure , but alternatively just include the needed paths. So the

Hi I am trying to stablish a relation between two different Samba domains. Each domain has two PDCs, all they are WINS servers, and the two domains are in different subnets. They are configured to use LDAP as the user/group/machine database. First, I will create the relation, being DOM1.CORP the trusted domain, and DOM2.CORP the trusting domain, so in a server of DOM1.CORP, I create a user this
