I have to install SLES9.3 distributive which is of 9 CDs as HVM domU. Having their ISO images ready, I hardly found a document describing the exact procedure of changing virtual CDs when installing the OS: http://www.novell.com/support/dynamickc.do?externalId=3172795&sliceId=SAL_Public&command=show&forward=nonthreadedKC&kcId=3172795 It really helps. But a strange effect of

What are methods to debug domU when it hangs? Using xen 3.1 compiled from sources I could not manage to launch no domU. Fot instance, I run something like this: =====8<===================== disk = [ ''file:/oradata-act/sles.disk,hda1,w'', '',hdc:cdrom,r'' ] kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-xen" ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-2.6.18-xen" cpus =

Hi All, I successfully installed a 32bit W2003 domu using the following config file (as the CD image wasn''t persistent between reboots, otherwise I would have used virt-install ;-) ) : isk = [ ''file:/images/xvm/w2003/w2003-disk.raw,hdc,w'',''file:/images/isos/en_win_srv_2003_r2_enterprise_cd1. iso,hda:cdrom,r'' ] memory = 512 name = "w2003"

Hi -- I wanted to boot s10 HVM in 64-bit mode but it always boots in 32-bit mode. Is there a special grub entry to boot s10 HVM domU in 64-bit mode? Or is it HVM loader? The grub entry is like this title Solaris 10 5/08 s10x_u5wos_01 X86 kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive s10.py file is as follows :- import os, re arch = os.uname()[4] if

Hi, I''ve been trying to boot from a RHEL4 install iso without much luck (the xen way). The Host is: RHEL 5.1 xen-3.0.3-41.el5 Here is my guest config: # -*- mode: python; -*- #============================================================================ # Python configuration setup for ''xm create''. # This script sets the parameters used when a domain is created using

Hello. I''m trying to set up hvm for linux or windows. I start with a very simple configuration without disks at all. but the virtual machine does boot or even "power up". If i remove the ioemu from the network device and specify type=brige or type=route everything goes fine, the boot process is starting but then I cant get network working in the guest.

Hi all, I now have Xen running on Intel Core2 duo system, and am running a HVM domU with Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, cold-installed from distribution CD. Problem is, Windows can''t get to the network. My dom0 ifconfig looks correct, as far as I can tell. I have a DHCP server on my local network, but the Windows XP domU claims to be unable to find DHCP. I''ve also tried

Hi, I have been trying to create a xen HVM Centos4.4 image on centos 5 with a DRBD filesystem installing from DVD. However I get an IO error on the filesystem during the centos installation process which then aborts. The DRBD filesystem seem to be setup correctly and is functioning as a block device as I can mkfs -t ext3 /dev/drbd1 read and write without error. If I replace the disk

Hi Trying to get WinXP HVM to install as domU on AMD. Got latest Xen Kernel and Xen package (NOT unstable or debug). When start, a window pops up for few seconds.. then it dies and another one comes up... and it disappears too. (Xen is trying to restart and giving up because the restart happens in 2 seconds..) It seems DomU is not able to read/understand something from Cirrus VGABIOS.

I just downloaded Debian Squeeze and installed Xen from packages, following the instructions here: http://wiki.debian.org/Xen I am able to get PV guests up and running easily, but HVM guests will not even boot. The HVM I am currently trying to run is Debian sarge, which I installed into a disk image and configured using qemu. I am running on an HP Proliant ML150G6, which has Intel-VT hardware

Hi, When dom0 is under heavy load any Vista or Windows 2008 HVM''s that are running and have multiple cpu''s assigned often BSOD with code 0x00000101 "A clock interrupt was not recevied ona secondary processor within the allocated time interval" It only happens if the load in dom0 is high enough to make the mouse pointer lagged, once the mouse fails to track in

Dear, I''ve attempted to upgrade a Xen box from 3.1.2 to 3.2.1. Unfortunately it has been a partial success only. At this point I''m really stuck with a network problem that affects my HVM machines (Linux PV run fine). The really odd thing is that everything seems to work properly, except that the "vif" network interfaces in dom0 seem to have only dropped TX packets for

All, We are facing some issues bringing up a DomVT on Xen x86_64(changeset 9267). We created a disk image with dd 8 G in size. We then booted an associated Dom-VT with a CD-ROM and did net-install of the sles-9 OS. This completes successfully. Then, when the system is brought around for a reboot (having changed the boot option from cdrom to disk), the system hangs after the line

Hi, I have some trouble to create hvm machines. Xen just tell me that the domain creation failed: # xm create /etc/xen/xenwin2008 Using config file "/etc/xen/xenwin2008".
