similar to: Can''t boot HVM Linux guests on Debian Squeeze Dom0

There seems to be an outdated page to use PV drivers here: http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenWindowsGplPv I''d be great if that could be updated. After installing the PV drivers in windows I didn''t notice any difference in performance at all. Windows says the drivers are working. Some more searching and reading and it appears that I do actually need to make some changes to

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

We had problem using tagged vlans inside domU. Testing shows that this is caused by changing network interfaces in network-bridge script. Following patch should allow to use vlans in guest. Testing scenario: configure vlan network (e.g. vlan 1 on eth0 => eth0.1) start xend create domU and configure same vlan inside it You can see that vlan is still <interface>.<vlan_id>. You can

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

We are running a 2-node cluster with Debian Squeeze (2.6.32-5-xen-amd64) and Xen 4.0.1 on the dom0 and Ubuntu lucid domUs. We are now using fully virtualized (HVM) vms. In our configuration the dom0 administers to domUs created and run on a SAN box accessed via private network (192.168...). A sample configuration file is pasted below. We have had little or no IO problem with HVMs created and

The domU is using pygrub to boot its own 2.6.18.8-xen kernel. It can be booted successfully under 2.6.18.8-xen dom0 and xen 3.3.1. However when upgrade dom0 to 2.6.32.15 and xen 4.0.1-rc3-pre, the domU can not boot with tapdisk. I am wondering it is something related to the blktap driver. *When using tap:aio:* PATH/disk.img in domU disk configuration, the boot process hanged at a prompt: XENBUS:

Hello Xen-Users, I am currently provisioning old Linux guests as HVM on a server, and giving clients access through VNC. The current setup uses the default Xen framebuffer as a VNC server (all configuration files have vnc=1 and a few other settings), and my clients are using vinagre (a.k.a. Remote Desktop Viewer) on Arch as their VNC client. Problem: Keyboard input is not consistently handled

Hello, I have been playing around with Remus on Xen 4.0.1, attempting to fail-over for an HVM domU. I''ve run into some problems that I think could be related to tapdisk2 and its interaction with how one sets up Remus disk replication in the domU config file. A few things I''ve noticed: -The tap:remus:backupHostIP:port|aio:imagePath notation does not work for me, although this

Hi all, I try to use kernel 2.6.36.1 in HVM but building the drivers xen-blkfront, xenfs, platform-pci. I used Xen 4.0.2-rc1-pre and a DomU is a ubuntu 10.04 and I try with ubuntu 10.10. In boot I receive error "Cannot find a root partition /dev/xvda2" and a prompt (initramfs) appear. In dmesg (initramfs) appear: blkfront: xvda: barriers enabled (tag) xvda: xvda1 vbd vbd-51712: 16

I''m getting this message (subject line) in daemon.log every time I start or restart xend. I''m not sure if this is related to the fact that I cannot boot up my Windows domU from a VHD file. The Windows domU was working fine with Xen 4.0.0 (with 2.6.32.14 dom0 kernel). When I upgraded to Xen 4.0.1-rc4 (with 2.6.32.16 dom0 kernel), I can no long boot the Windows domU from VHD. The

Hi, I''ve been working on getting a working blktap driver allowing to access ceph RBD block devices without relying on the RBD kernel driver and it finally got to a point where, it works and is testable. Some of the advantages are: - Easier to update to newer RBD version - Allows functionality only available in the userspace RBD library (write cache, layering, ...) - Less issue when

Hi, Currently i''m going through the source codes of tools/blktap2. I need to find-out where blktap2 calls 1. mem_share_nominate() 2. mem_sharing_share_page() functions to do the memory sharing on HVM guests. Can someone please provide me some guidance on blktap2 driver. Thanks, Harshan _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list

Hello, I''m currently trying to understand some problems I had in the past with mixing look-back with blktap(2) for HV and PV domains. I''m stuck reading the source code, so I''d like to get some help from the list. Interrupt me if I got something fundamentally wrong in my understanding so far: 1. With pure-HV the domU gets an emulated IDE (or whatever) disk. The

Hi list, I''m using Dom0 gentoo with xen 3.0.4 and xenman. I have several DomU working and it is really nice :) so all my DomUs are installed with disk images. Now i want to use an ISO to boot and install a linux system (or win). When i try to boot the DomU i dont have nothing, nothing relevant (for me) in logs and i can connect to the console. The state of the DomU is unknow. Any help
