Hello, xen-utils-4.1's pygrub is unable to boot VMs from a partitionless blockdev that has grub installed in first sector. I'm not sure it deserves a bug report, although it is kind of a regression from 4.0. Long story short: zeroing first sector of domU's boot blockdev fixes it. Maybe some of this report would be useful in the wiki, if someone else has the same (odd) setup. --- The

Hello, I am running two dom0s, one on CentOS 5 with Xen 4.1.2 (from Gitco) and the other one on CentOS 6 with Xen 4.2.4 (from Xen4CentOS). I host one LVM based domU on both from the same template (CentOS 6 PV) with the same Xen config (see below). However, the domU on Xen 4.1 reports itself as Xen PV while the domU on Xen4CentOS reports itself as Xen HVM. == First domU == virt-what and cPanel

Hi I''m putting together a Dom0 and three DomU (all Gentoo) with kernel 3.5.7 and Xen 4.1.1. Each Dom has it''s own md (md0 for Dom0, md1 for Dom1 etc). Dom0 works fine so far, however, I''m stuck trying to create DomUs. It appears the xvda1 device on DomU is not created or accessible: Parsing config file dom1 domainbuilder: detail: xc_dom_allocate:

Hi, I have Xen installed and running several (win 7) HVMs. I've setup an Arch linux PV guest but I am having a problem booting it. (The install image booted fine.) After each failed attempt to boot I try to view the /var/log/xen/bootloader.XX.log file but all of these files are zero bytes. So, I'm having some trouble troubleshooting this. I followed the instructions from

Hi, currently i am using KVM, but i want to switch (back) to xen. All my VMs have a own partition inside a lvm. Inside of this partition are 2-3 own pratition. if i want to access them, i can do this by "kpartx -a /dev/vg/VM". Usually my domu configs look like this: bootloader=''/usr/bin/pygrub'' name="ipfire" memory=512 acpi=1 apic=1

Hello, I hope this is the mailing list to discuss this issue, but if not sorry for spamming! I just discovered a really slow IO performance on DomUs running debian wheezy over wheezy dom0s, any operation that requires disk read or write takes a lot of time.

Hello, I read the blktap readme; there is a section there titled: Mounting images in Dom0 using the blktap driver.

Hi guys! I installed XEN 4.0 on Debian Squeeze but I cannot get the first DomU (not an image) started. Attached you will find /etc/xen/xen1.conf and the result of "xm create -c /etc/xen/xen1.conf" in xen1.log. Can you help me? What did I wrong? Is it about the fstab in xen1 (see also attached)? Many thanks in advance! Regards Stefan

Hi, I have a Xen server running OpenSuSE 10.2, with Xen version 3.0.3_11774. It''s happily hosting two DomU''s running the same OS / kernel. Now I tried to create a new DomU running a newer OS - OpenSuSE 11.1. It comes with Xen version 3.3.1_18494_03. Unfortunately for me, it doesn''t work - this is what I get: > xen1:/etc/xen/vm # xm create NEW > Using config file
