similar to: xen upgrade problem, cant boot from 3.4.2 to 4.0.0

Hi, I am a Xen newbie and have been trying to get Xen-3.4.1 working on my Ubuntu Lucid (kernel version 2.6.32-21) system, using kernel 2.6.18.8 as dom0. In attempting this, I ran into the following issue. On booting into Xen, I get these errors: Mounting none on /dev failed. No such device. ... Gave up waiting for root device. ... Alert! Could not mount /dev/sda1 as root device. Dropping to a

Distro: debian unstable Xen version: 4.0.0-2 This is the config: #HVM #still no qemu-dm in debian #kernel = "/usr/lib/xen-4.0/boot/hvmloader" #builder = ''hvm'' #memory = 2048 #name = "webserver" #vif = [''bridge=eth0''] #disk = [''tap:tapdisk:aio:/srv/xen/webserver.img,xvda,w'',''phy:/dev/cdrom,xvdb:cdrom,r'']

Hi, I have several servers Supermicro - running Xen 3.4.1 @ debian 5.0 x64 running without any issues for more than year. Now I bought new server with exactly same config and installed Ubuntu 10.04 x64 - Xen 4.0.1-rc4 - 2.6.32.16 pv_ops - base Ubuntu 10.04 install boot without issues - Xen 4.0.1-rc4 compiled and installed withou any problems - 2.6.32.16 pv_ops dom0 kernel with custom config.

Hi Pasik, Do we have a way to build a 2.6.34 kernel as dom0 kernel can you show me the way? Thanks Lei _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Hello Xen-development team, When I was compiling my kernel I hit this error when I executed the “make” command ————————- CC [M] drivers/net/sfc/falcon.o drivers/net/sfc/falcon.c:2928: error: redefinition of ‘falcon_dimension_resources’ drivers/net/sfc/falcon.c:2825: note: previous definition of ‘falcon_dimension_resources’ was here make[3]: *** [drivers/net/sfc/falcon.o] Error 1 make[2]: ***

Hi, I installed XEN 3.4-testing version without much problems in CentOS 5.3 running on quadcore Intel Nahelam processors using the following installation steps (as in the README) : <steps> hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-3.4-testing.hg` cd xen-unstable.hg make world make install make linux-2.6-xen-config CONFIGMODE=menuconfig make linux-2.6-xen-build make linux-2.6-xen-install

[previously posted to xen-devel@ and xen-api@ but this might be of interest to xen-users@ too] Hi, I''ve refreshed the Xen Cloud Platform (XCP) .isos on xen.org with a new development snapshot (labelled version 0.1.1). XCP is a collaborative effort to build a complete cloud infrastructure platform, complete with a powerful management stack, standards-based APIs, support for multi-tenancy

When I try to virt-install a PV instance of F11, I''m getting an ''invalid kernel'' message, as if it''s not a Xen kernel. I have tried both the i386 and x86_64 versions. Is there any weirdness with this distro that I''m not aware of?

Hi Everyone, In my HVM guest''s config file, I have given my guest 3 interface. I have called them fw1, fw2 and fw3. I have joined each interface to a bridge on the Dom0. This does appear when I do a "brctl show". However, there are 3 other interfaces also added called tapx.0,tapx.1 and tapx.2 (Where x is the domain ID for the guest). Furthermore, I am only able to run

As I understand concept of xenballooning, it allow to take memory from guest and return it to hypervisor. This allow to reduce amount of memory allocated to VM in realtime without rebooting VM. But how we can add more memory to guest VM in realtime, than was at boot time? Can we somehow make balloon inflated at start time? (F.e. VM starts with memory = 512Mb and balloon inflating to +512Mb).

Hi, I''ve been testing Xen 4.0.1 with kernel 2.6.34.5 + http://gentoo-xen-kernel.googlecode.com/files/xen-patches-2.6.34-4.tar.bz2, and one of the things that I noticed immediately is there are two problems with tapdisk and this combination. First, the syntax "disk = [''tap:tapdisk:aio: ..." no longer works. When tested with HVM domU, it boots, but there was no disk

Hi everyone, I''ve compiled 3.0.0-rc6 from kernel.org , with all the pv_ops config options set as per the Xen wiki. The kernel boots fine, but not in combination with Xen. All i get is a completely blank screen , and after a minute or so the machine reboots. THe hypervisor seems to work OK with other (non-dom0 , 2.6.32.x) kernels, i can see Xen startup messages, before it finally

Dear James and Andrew! Thanks much for the help, it seems that viridian=1 solved my problem! I forced a heavy load last night and no reboots were issued! I confirm that I had multiple cpus assigned and dom0 heavy load started the reboot problema, but with viridian=1, everything is OK! Thanks again for everything!

I run my production DomU''s using Xen 3.4.1 at the moment with the old 2.6.18.x dom0 kernel. I just built a new Xen version (4.0.1-rc5) with jemerys git repo of 2.6.32.16 dom0 pvops kernel. When starting domains the go instantly into a paused state and eventually i see this error on the command line. [root@host test1]# xm create -c vps.config Using config file

If i will use a virtualbox image with xen Must ionly convert it to raw and copy the hole image to a lvm or harddisk Or are it more advanced? _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Hi! What benefits do I get if I put "type=paravirtualised" in my network card config for a Win2k8 domU with PV drivers installed? Is it necessary, will it improve performance? I have read about this option here: http://plone.lucidsolutions.co.nz/linux/xen/windows/windows-server-2008-r2-xen-hvm-installation-with-gpvpv-drivers Thanks, Daniel

On a selection of boxes, ntpd running in Xen Dom0 reproducibly exhibits extermely high noise/jitter. Switching back to -default, non-xen kernel ntpd runs with very low jitter/noise. Question -- how can I ''tame'' ntpd noise & jitter when running in Dom0? Is the problem a config issue, or a bug? Already reported this downstream; everybody''s "stumped".
