Hello list, I tried to install Xen 3.1.0 on Scientific Linux (RHEL4), but this mission failed.. Hope you can help me by finding the reason for my problem. I downloaded the xen sources from http://bits.xensource.com/oss-xen/release/3.1.0/src.tgz/xen-3.1.0-src.tgz and compiled them by running "make" and "./install.sh". This seemed to work. After setting up grub like this,

Hi there, I''ve just built xen & dom0 kernel from gentoo ebuilds (bugs.gentoo.org), but my dom0 kernel crashes during boot. Any help is appreciated. Console log, grub.conf and .config are included, machine is celeron/466, 128MB of RAM. Console log: Linux version 2.6.9-xen0 (root@zirafa) (gcc version 3.3.4 20040623 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.4-r1, ssp-3.3.2-2, pie-8.7.6)) #2 Sun Nov 14

Hello List, I'm ironing out details to upgrade a few systems to CentOS7. My servers have BMC with Serial over LAN support. In C5 and C6, I determined how to have BIOS/POST, kernel, and serial console access. I'm reading up on the method to accomplish the pieces with C7. Presently SoL output works, so I see BIOS/POST messages and the GRUB boot list. My changes to enable serial

I am installing Xen on a remote server. I left the other kernels on the grub.conf and made xen the default to boot from. The box didn''t boot into Xen on reboot but I''m not sure why. Here is my Xen config file: # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that #

Erwan, I'm using syslinux v3.85 Gene, the kernel was built using buildroot (and I checked that Xen support was enabled). Didn't try without the menu, will see that now. Also, I saw a short note on syslinux mboot wiki page: "A really good use case for this (using mboot.c32) is booting Xen <http://xensource.com>, or any other hypervisor-based virtualization pieces that also

hi, i''ve tried xen 3.1 on my gentoo lastly but i can''t boot xen because of the message: VFS: cannot open root device "/dev/hda3" or unknown-block(0,0) Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) i''ve used the tar source from xensource. so the kernel is 2.6.18-xen

I have a CentOS 4.2 system that was set up VERY quickly following the demise of its former life as a CentOS 3 server - you don't want the full story, but it had to be done quickly to get a company up and working following a slight disaster involving an electrician, a portable appliance safety tester and a pulled power cable - anyway, here's where I am at... Everything is running fine but

# grub.conf generated by anaconda I recently tried installing xen on another machine and I''m getting the "CPU0 is toast rebooting in 5 seconds" message. Reading through past postings, I was hopeful setting the dom0_mem=128M would solve the problem. Unfortunately, it didn''t make a difference. I haven''t fooled with anything on this system -- just a fresh FC4

Hello all, I have a Linux kernel image with Xen compiled for an embedded system. It doesn't need an initrd as everything required for it to boot is already in the final kernel image, and it works perfectly. But I'm having problems to boot the Xen image without an initrd. I'm following this guideline http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/Xen for my syslinux configuration file, but

I recently installed CentOS 5.1 on a DL71 ASI notebook. After my yum update the timeout parameter in /boot/grub/grub.conf file has no effect. It sits at the grub screen forever unless I press the enter key to select a kernel, at which point it will boot. Any help or suggestions to fix this would be much appreciated CentOS release 5.2 (Final) Kernel 2.6.18-92.1.18.el5 on an i686 # grub.conf

To test CentOS 5, I loaded from DVD adding it to a system at home running Fedora Core 7 T2. Partition Layout is: /dev/hda1 - / for the RH7T2 system /dev/hda2 - /home /dev/hda3 - swap /dev/hda4 - extended /dev/hda5 - / for CentOS 5 The system loaded cleanly and gave me the opportunity to tell grub about the other system. CentOS boots fine. Grub Stage 2 will show me both systems.

The Xen boot option ''ser_baud=<baud>'' has been removed from the unstable tree. If you were still using this obsolete option then the effect is that you will get no serial output when you boot Xen, which may lead you to believe that there is a more serious problem. To fix this you must move to the new boot option: ''com1=<baud>,8n1'' -- Keir

Hello list, I'm trying to reuse a fairly old PC based embedded system. It has no video output at all, no VGA, nothing older, and no keyboard / mouse connectors. The console is on a standard RS232 interface, including BIOS output and the minimal BIOS loader. The BIOS emulates / redirects text output to and keyboard input from the console RS232 interface, but unfortunately, this emulation

Hi there, I am using tar to backup the whole system (specific directorues usr,lib,sbin,etc,var,home,root). On bare metal recovery I install the minimal portion of the syetm and then I throw the tarballs. Any opinions? D.

Still new at this and was wondering if someone could give me some pointers. I have Xen 3.0.4 running great with 5 PV guests. I just followed setup instructions from a few wiki pages. But the one thing I noticed, is that the guest kernel is on the host. Below is the cfg file for my mail server guest. # -*- mode: python; -*- kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16.33-xen" ramdisk =

Hello. I am trying to boot CentOS 4 from a copy of an ext3 software RAID 1 filesystem (md) which has been copied to a normal ext3 filesystem (hd). I am almost getting there, exept that the system hangs after booting the kernel. I copied the datas from the /boot and / partitions to two similar partitions on the backuped disk with mirrordir (can also be done with cp or dd). I have setup the new

Hi, I''m about to start a Masters research project which will use Xen. As such I''m trying to get it to work on my laptop (IBM T40). I''ve built Xen 2.0.1 from the source tarball using the default .config file for the 2.6.9 kernel. I''m using Suse 9.1 as the distribution on top. When I boot Xen, It seems to boot the Xen hypervisitor ok, then starts booting

I tried it w/a new 250 gb for the 2nd drive but the same results. Will not boot. in druid, when I am config. the raid arrays, I always create the boot partitions

Hi- I am having a weird problem with setting dom0 kernel output to the serial console with Xen 3.0.4-1, below is my grub setting. With this setting if I don''t enter the grub menu and have the default boot to the first image, everything works fine and I can get output/input to the serial console. The problem is when I enter the grub menu and select the image to boot from, if I
