similar to: xenU wont boot, cannot open root device

Hello, I trying to run XEN 2.0 (2.4.27, 2.4.28, 2.6.9) on gentoo 2004.3. When i boot guest domain i get this: anubis xen # xm create -f ttylinux -c Using config file "ttylinux". Started domain ttylinux, console on port 9601 ************ REMOTE CONSOLE: CTRL-] TO QUIT ******** Linux version 2.4.28-xenU (root@anubis) (gcc version 3.3.3 20040217 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.3, propolice-3.3-7))

I am trying to create an additional domain and have created a configuration file based on the examples. When I try to boot the domain, it eventually hits a Kernel panic, as follows: Red Hat nash version 4.1.18 starting Mounted /proc filesystem Mounting sysfs Creating /dev Starting udev Creating root device Mounting root filesystem mount: error 6 mounting ext3 mount: error 2 mounting none

I am a bit puzzled on how the block device mapping works for Xen guests. Or particularily the fact on how the device shows on the guest side. When configuring the domain, one can specify the device name the partition should appear with inside the guest. And if that device does not exist on the host side, xend complains. A workaround for this was to specify the device with explicit minor and major

Hola! I''m trying to follow the User Manual''s example on how to run ttylinux on xen and failing. # xm create ttylinux-xen.cf -c Using config file "ttylinux-xen.cf".

I would have sworn that someone on the list had a way to Xenify a stock RH kernel but I was not able to dig it up on the archives. If this does not exist I am sure it would be a nice addition to Xen to be able to patch and build some kernels that are compatable with some of the popular distributions. -- Alvin Starr || voice: (416)585-9971 Interlink Connectivity ||

Hey all, I am a new Xen user and trying to boot up 128 VM on the machine with 16G memory. All VM images are ttylinux. When I booted up 116 Virtual machines, I can not boot VM anymore. Once I create a new VM, the latest VM on the machine would be kicked out to hold 116 VM simultaneously. Since I set VM memory to 32M, the Memory should not be an issue. I am wondering why I can not boot 128 VM and

Does anyone in the devel team recall how the ttylinux rootfs was created, by which I mean what changes were needed? Nothing detailed, just "oh, just /etc/fstab" or whatever. I haven''t yet compared myself, though I''ll figure it eventually. For XenCD, I''d like to ship a pristine ttylinux instance on the ISO image, and have the XenCD startup process copy that

I rebooted xenU from console (dom2) and exited (ctr-]). xm list does not report 2 anymore yet I can log into 2 via console and it is running just fine. Is this a bug? I''ll pull/rebuild and see what happens.. (this is xen-2.0, cset 1.1321.1.1, rh7.3 dom0/dom1) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on

Hi, I''m trying to run Xen 3.0 on my amd64 UP machine. So far xen0 is working fine but there is a problem with mounting rootfs on xenU kernel. Is there something else that needs to be compiled into xenU 3.0 kernel? $ grep XEN kernel-xenU-x86_64-3.0.config CONFIG_XEN=y CONFIG_ARCH_XEN=y # XEN # CONFIG_XEN_PRIVILEGED_GUEST is not set # CONFIG_XEN_PHYSDEV_ACCESS is not set

Just did a quick scan for that error message in the kernel source. Turns out it''s triggered in net/bridge/br_fdb.c:289. if (!is_valid_ether_addr(addr)) return -EADDRNOTAVAIL; Interestingly enough, it''s claiming that the mac addy isn''t any good! 8-( I''ll go add a printk line to that to see if I can determine what kind of data

Dear list, I''m trying to get Xen working on a P3-600E with 320 MB RAM. (256+64) It has suse linux 9.1 installed on it, and I tried to get xen running with both the binary download from the xen pages and the suse xen packages mentioned on this list some days ago. Both ''install packages/kernels'' lead to the same error: (XEN) Not enough memory for DOM0 memory

Hi folks, I''m trying to use the atropos scheduler with Xen. Couple of questions: - the scheduling param *has* to be specified at boot time right, or does Xen allow changing the scheduling scheme at run time?? - xm help atropos gives a very vague message at best, perhaps we could make it more elaborate: xm atropos DOM SLICE PERIOD LATENCY XTRATIME o is DOM the vm ID or the vm NAME (as

On my lex mainboard with a Via C3 cpu, xen 2.0(.1) reboots (nearly) immediately without any outputs. The same setup/version boots without problems on a via epia M board with a Via C3-2 cpu (Nehemia), having a rather different chipset. Starting with option noreboot, nobiostables doesn''t change anything visible. Is this a known problem? Or just a knowingly unsupported chipset? Have you

Just to error test my own thinking here, there seems to be the following options for remote graphical access to a running domian vm. Besides the normal network service via a port and a raw console, the options are straight X, VNC, and XN. X - supports a single X window running on a local XServer, tied to a single process on the remote system. No remote desktop VNC - comes in two flavors of

Hi, I have a question, If I start 2 or more guest linux, does the physical memory of code segment and readonly data segment be reused? What''s the relationship between the physical memory and the number of guest os that can create? xiaofeng ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT

Hi people I am new to Xen and having some trouble getting it up and running. I am trying to install it on a Dell Poweredge SC420 that has CentOS (RHEL3 clone) installed. The error that I am getting when I first try to boot into the Xen kernel, after having installed the binary and adding the necessary lines to grub.conf is : ---snip--- md: Autodetecting RAID arrays md: autorun ... md: ...

Hi, Currently TLS wraparound segments are a problem in Xen, since the kernel needs to be protected by keeping the user space segments out of kernel space. A few weeks ago Roland, Jakub and myself brainstormed about this problem. One of the things that came up is that the positive (glibc private data) and -ve (TLS) data are not generally used at the same time. This lead to one of us (I

Hi, I''m getting the following oops on startup, and I''m not quite sure why.
