Maybe this question is a little stupid, but please help me. I am a newbie to Xen. When I tried to create a new domain "domain 1", I followed the Yan-Ching CHU''s guide on :installing quick file systems for new domains in Xen 1.2". But when I do "xc_dom_create.py -Dvmid=1", Xen seems to start to boot with some normal bootup information, but right after several

Using the 2.0.6 demo cd image, I booted the supplied freebsd image and rsync''d the file system to an NFS server. However I don not seem to be able to succesfully boot from it the system just hangs here: xn0: bpf attached xn0: Ethernet address: aa:00:00:61:1c:d4 lo0: bpf I have modified /sbin/start_freebsd.sh and /etc/xen/freebsd.py to generate the following configuration: xendemo:~#

I know you Xen developers are beginning to hate me ;) but... While trying to compile 2.4.24 under DOM0, quickly after issuing ''make dep'' I got: Kernel panic: Failed mmu update: c015bf80, 4 I suspect this address probably isn''t to helpful but this is all I have. I am currently booted in 2.4.21-SuSE and compiling the 2.4.24 regarding another thread here. Regarding

Hi all, I am running the current xen-unstable and had the following error message when trying to create domain1. # ./xenctl script -f/etc/xen-mynewdom Domain defaults: name XenoLinux size 98304 vifs 1 domainImage /boot/xenolinux.gz domainInitRD null rootDevice /dev/hda5 rootArgs rw usrDevice null NWIP

Hi, I just had a try using the xeno-unstable. When I used the xc_dom_create.py to create a new domain I got the followings: ============================================== Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/xc_dom_create.py", line 332, in ? (current_id, current_port) = make_domain() File "/usr/bin/xc_dom_create.py", line 238, in make_domain

I pulled unstable yesterday and noticed xc_dom_create.py does not have a default value for cpu, so python complains Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/xc_dom_create.py", line 408, in ?

I thought I've found three bugs on syslinux 6.03: (1) With sample config file as is, i.e. leaving commented MENU VSHIFT and MENU COLOR UNSEL but uncommented MENU COLOR SEL: A black "border" is displayed below the selected line and on its right edge. (2) Uncommenting MENU COLOR UNSEL: This effect appears also on separators and on right edge on every unselected lines. (3)

The Xen boot option ''ser_baud=<baud>'' has been removed from the unstable tree. If you were still using this obsolete option then the effect is that you will get no serial output when you boot Xen, which may lead you to believe that there is a more serious problem. To fix this you must move to the new boot option: ''com1=<baud>,8n1'' -- Keir

The system is Mandrake-9.1 Linux wih gcc-3.2.2. I am trying to compile xenolinux-2.4.24 (with vanilla sources from ftp.kernel.org for linux-2.4.24). The steps of mkbuildtree ARCH=xeno make menuconfig ARCH=xeno make dep produce no errors, but ARCH=xeno make bzImage results in following error messages. Any pointers will be appreciated. -ishwar --- gcc -D__KERNEL__

Hello. I''ve downloaded and burned the Xen DemoCD 1.2. It boots fine, and generally seems to work well. However, when I try to create a domain via xc_dom_create.py I get an ImportError (from a python module I''m guessing). Problem is that it can''t open the libxc.so.1.2 shared object. And sure enough, it''s not there. libxc.so is in /usr/lib, but not

Hi, I am trying to install Xen/Xenolinux v1.1 on my workstation which has 2 SCSI disks. The first disk has WinXP installed, and the second disk has Redhat 8.0. I copied the images into /boot and modified grub.conf accordingly: title Xen / XenoLinux 2.4.22 root (hd1,0) kernel /xen.gz dom0_mem=131072 ser_baud=115200 noht noreboot module /xenolinux.gz root=/dev/sdb2 ro

I''ve been recently testing the Xendemo CD and I can say that Xen is awesome. I''d like to start deploying it initially in some development/testing servers. However the limitation of the max memory of 800MB or so per virtual machine is a show stopper for many applications. Are there plans to raise the limit to something higher (like 2GB or so)? How difficult would it be?

Hi! Some weeks ago the "Running Xen"-book was recommended to me on this list. A nice book, but it gave me crazy idea: One of the recommendations (which sounds very reasonable to me) was to have instead of a single file that serves as a disk-image to have to files: one of them (which is mounted to hda1) serves as a partition that holds the data, the other one (which mounts to hda2) is

Hi all, I have another problem with starting domainU (xenolinux). I took me pretty much quite some time and i can not figure out why starting a new domain is failing. I will really appreciate if somebody can help me with this error.

I know I have asked this before, but I am having trouble understanding the role of each component in the new 1.3 world: In 1.3 networking if Xen has no devices, and domain 0 owns and operates the NIC - does Xen have any role at all in networking for the guest OS''s? Which network device driver will a guest OS use? Do all the vnetif rules defined in Domain 0 now get interpreted by

Hi all I am in the process of upgrading my XEN servers from 2.4 to 2.6 kernels as I am having better results on 2.6. However one machine (the big daddy) refuses to boot a 2.6.9 xenolinux kernel. It''s an IBM eSeries xServer x205. I have selected what i think are the appropriate options in menuconfig but it refuses to boot into dom0. By refuse I mean it initialises the hypervisor,
