similar to: Problems with booting Debian DomU

Hello xen-users ! I am coming for help concerning the just released 4.0 version. Install has worked rather well on my Debian Lenny. I have just had a few bugs for which I have found the answer looking around on this list. I have created a Debian Lenny domU which boots up just fine. The only problem is that I am unable to get a console prompt when using "xm console nameofdomU". I do see

Hi list, I am running a virtualized server. Dom0 uses Xen 3.2.1 with Debian Etch and a custom kernel 2.6.21 created by my webhosting company. I install my domU using debootstrap for a Debian Etch with 2.6.18-6-xen-amd64 kernel. Everything works well except the fact that once the VM is started I cannot "xm console" into it. It only works while it is booting and while it is shutting

I installed xen 3.3.0 on a etch box from sources. I just modified the standard kernel cause of some hardware drivers. I installed xen-tools from backports (3.9-3~bpo40+1). To create a domU ist not the problem. I can connect via ssh and everything works fine. But when i start a domU with "xm create host.example.tld.cfg -c" to login to console from domU it hangs after the message

Hi, I''m running Xen 4 on Slack64. I haven''t console login prompt to domU until I changed xvc0 to hvc0 on /etc/inittab file.

Hi, I have already set up a VM that can access the network using the NAT mode. The problem I have is that I''d like to create another VM that also has access to the network. The problem I get is that when a VM is started, the other one will refuse to start. Actually it starts, but when I want to "xm console" into it I get the following error message: "xenconsole: Could not

Hello everybody! My server with Ubuntu Hardy Heron x64 with Xen 3.2 hangs on when booting at "Starting local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)". My /etc/rc.local is default and I can''t find out why it stops there. It''s possible to SSH to the server and everything works fine. I just can''t do anything from the physical server. I''ve googled but nothing have

Hello everyone, I''m quite a newbie with Xen and I''m currently having an issue. I run Xen 4 on Debian Squeeze x64 and I''m trying to build an OpenFiler DomU from the Xen domU filesystem tarbal they provide (See http://www.openfiler.com/community/download/). I downloaded the tarball and run ''tar xzpvf /root/soft/openfiler-2.3-x86_64.tar.gz'' to extract

I just installed xen-linux-system-2.6.26-1-xen-amd64 2.6.26-7 on a freshly installed Debian Lenny AMD64 system, and when I create a Debian Lenny DomU with xen-tools I cannot attach to a console nor log in with SSH. When running # xm create -c test.cfg the system starts booting, but it seems to "freeze" after the kernel has booted. Googling a bit, shows that I seem to have the problem

Hello All, After a few months of hiatus, we have resumed working on mips port of Xen. We are at the point of booting dom0 userland (init process and its children). The init process gets spawned and in turn forks off processes to run commands in /etc/rc.d/init.d/rcS. However, the getty process does not seem to run subsequently and hence the login prompt is not displayed. Dom 0 does not use the

Hello, I have installed Ubuntu Interpid in pv domU. It boots fine, but I cannot get any console running. The boot hangs on: * Setting up console font and keymap... [ OK ] * Starting system log daemon... [ OK ] * Starting kernel log daemon... [ OK ] And then nothing happens. My config file looks like that: bootloader = ''/usr/bin/pygrub'' memory = 2048 name =

Hi, I''m using Debian 5 (lenny) with Xen 3.2-1. When I try to start a Linux guest (installed with debootstrap like this <http://www.option-c.com/xwiki/Create_a_Debian_VM_with_debootstrap>), the VM hangs right after starting crond. This is exactly before the login prompt (which doesn''t come up). 1) In the internet, the solution is an /extra/ line in the configuration

Hi, I've tried to setup a new DomU on Lenny and I'm a little bit confused on which device names I should use for disks and console in the various DomU-kernels? Is it correct that: 2.6.18-xen-kernel from Etch start with no "extra" tty1 in /etc/inittab /dev/sd for disks 2.6.26-xen-kernel from Lenny: start with no "extra" hvc0 in /etc/inittab /dev/xvd for disks

Hi All, I was hoping to pick someone''s brain about the best way of moving a Xen disk image (which has LVM''s inside of it) to a new block-device?  I have the target DRBD device ready but unsure what''s the best &amp; safest way to do it. I was actually tempted to mount the Xen disk image in a dom0, and make it visible via loop devices and promote that DRBD node for

Hi Everyone, In the guest image I download from stacklet, a Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64 DomU, in /var/log/auth.log, I see: /dev/hvc0: No such file or directory listed a lot of times. I''m not experiencing any problems, however it makes looking through logs for auditing purposes a bit annoying. Any ideas what this is? I think it has something to do with the "Hypervisor Console",

Hi, I keep seeing references to "xvda" in and around xen forums and postings.....what exactly is xvda (yes I''ve googled it and found no explanation)? Thanks M _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I decided to upgrade from openSuse 10.2 to openSuse 10.3. I installed xen things, but when I boot using xen option the system is blocked. It appears the green window, with little suse logo in the middle, and mouse cursor, but the system crashes. My computer is a Pentium 4 1,5 GHz, 512 MB of RAM. I attached "diff boot.msg boot.omsg" (as diff opensuse-normal-kernel opensuse-xen-kernel)
