Hi. I am new to CentOS (Debian user) and I am looking for way how to install CentOS 5 on domU in the way that I have it directly on dom0 LVM partition. If I install it with virtual-manager then the installation program takes that partition as a disk and then creates new partitions on it. I don''t want it that way because I cannot then mount it from dom0. Is there some way how to

Hello, I have a big problem: Dom0 is centos5.1, domU are centos5.1. My setup is really simple, the only thing is that I give 3 nics to the domU so I use a modified network script (which has worked since january... since fedora 6): " #!/bin/sh dir=$(dirname "$0") "$dir/network-bridge" "$@" vifnum=0 "$dir/network-bridge" "$@" vifnum=1

Hello..I am not very proficient in Linux kernel stuffs although I know my basics. I have a question and all suggestions/solutions will be highly appreciated... I got to know that RHEL 5 has inbuilt Xen Support...So I tried to install a RHEL 5.0 Server on my P4 machine. On top of it I tried to install Xen specific RPMs and some other RPMs needed by Xen. The additinal RPMs added after base

On the subject of kernel updates: I had my install kernel (2.6.18-8.el5xen) and 2.6.18-8.1.8.el5xen on the box. I was unable to originally boot the update (8.1.8xen) because of the 3ware driver issues (I needed to use a driver floppy at install time). I jumped through some hoops (which I am struggling to understand) with weak-updates to get the 2.6.18-8.1.8 kernel to see my raid devices, which

Hi all, I am in a bit of a fix here, I have several Guests paravirtualized running on a Dom0 that is currently running the 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5xen Kernel. All my guests (administered by different people) have subsequently been updated to later versions of the kernel (namely 2.6.18-164.el5xen or 2.6.18-128.4.1.el5xen). Ones that are still running are using the Kernel 2.6.18-128.4.1.el5xen while

The new 4.92 installed nicely on this laptop... I am trying to get wireless networking going. I installed XEN. my kernel is 2.6.18-1.2747.el5xen I downloaded ipw3945-linux-1.2.0 This told me do download ieee80211-1.2.16 So when I try to compile ieee80211 it tells me find: /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2747.el5xen/build/: No such file or directory egrep: /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2747.el5xen/build//.config:

I followed the book called "Professional Xen Virtualization" written by William von Hagen,and published by Wiley Publishing,Inc.

Hello Can anyone share a known working config for xen which would transfer a serial interface ( add-on card preferably, mine uses e880-e887 : 0000:03:05.0 / ec00-ec07 : 0000:03:05.0 ) to a DomU ? I've been trying with the stock packages from Centos 5.5 ( fully updated) and also with gitco's 3.4.3 but after 2 days of googling and testing we still fail to access the serial

Hi, on one of our systems I see that while the time on the Centos 5.4 Host is correct it lags behind on two of the 5.5 guests by almost 5 minutes but is correct for the third domU. From what I understand the clock of the system is controlled by the host and and guest cannot write to it (and because of that not change it). Does anyone now what the cause could be and how I can fix the time for

I've managed to install CentOS 5.1 on S5000PAL with fakeraid Intel Embedded Raid Technology II Raid1 (LSI chipset) with some help of kickstart declaration 'driverdisk --source=http://.../driver.img' Then I've had some problems with yum update - new kernel didn't know about megasr.ko. I've solved it with commands: cd /lib/modules/ cp 2.6.18-53.el5PAE/updates/megasr.ko

Hi all, I am running CentOS 5.3 under xen on a VPS machine (so I have a limited control on the machine) I am playing with openswan and KLIPS and I need to build the ipsec.ko kernel module.

Good morning, I need to use pciback.hide to hide a pci card because I want to pci passthrough that card to a domU. My hardware neither supports Intel-Vt-d nor AMD's IOMMU. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work in Centos 54 anymore. I guess it doesn't work because it is not compiled into the kernel, but as a module. I got the following error in dmesg and the pci device is still

Hi all, I have an odd problem, for which I couldn't find any suggestions on google. A CentOS 5.7x64 gives me a blank screen on bootup, both to the 17" LCD monitor connected to the VGA port, and to the KVMOVIP device built-into the server, I can see the GRUB boot loader, and everything booting up, upto the point where it says "Waiting for driver initialization.", then it goes

All, I would like to run the following issue past the list to confirm that my problem analysis makes sense or whether I missed something: We have a HP ML370G6 server with VT-x and VT-d enabled in the BIOS. It is equipped with two Smart Array HBAs - one connected to the HDD array (SmartArray P800) and one connected to an LTO tape drive (SmartArray P212). Both controllers use the same driver
