Hi, Let me start a new thread for this. I contacted the Grub people, and they seem more interested in creating a native Xen port of Grub than piggybacking the Mini-OS environment usin kexec as I tried. But they need some documentation on the Xen "firmware" to assess the task at least. What could be given to them apart from hvc_xen.c and xen-blkfront.c in the Linux sources?

From: Ben Cressey <bcressey@amazon.com> The commit "minios: refactor xenbus state machine" caused "/state" to be appended to the local value of nodename. Previously the nodename variable pointed to dev->nodename. The xenbus_rm() calls were not updated to reflect this change, and refer to paths that do not exist. For example, shutdown_blkfront() for vbd 2049 would

samuel, I have a try with HVM stubdomain on r17062, but failed to make on 32b platform. Attached patch can fix it, but don''t know if okay. After installation, I failed to start stubdom. So I created it manually and got following debug mesg(both HVMdomain and stubdom are created) Can you give some lights on following questions: 1. I use default vnclisten. Does it matter? 2. Seems qemu

Hi Konrad, I just tried linux-3.4-rc0 (linus his tree, last commit f52b69f86e27903d6896ed5fa7cd280fec8de532) with 3 additional branches from your tree pulled on top of that: branch stable/for-ingo-3.4.v2 (required for dom0 to boot) branch stable/for-jens-3.4 branch stable/for-jens-3.4-bugfixes Hypervisor is xen-4.1.3-rc1-pre linux 3.3 vanilla works fine Booting dom0 goes fine, but

Changes from v3: - mini-os configuration files moved into stubdom/ - mini-os extra console support now a config option - Fewer #ifdefs - grant table setup uses hypercall bounce - Xenstore stub domain syslog support re-enabled Changes from v2: - configuration support added to mini-os build system - add mini-os support for conditionally compiling frontends, xenbus -

The user has the option of disabling the platform driver: 00:02.0 Unassigned class [ff80]: XenSource, Inc. Xen Platform Device (rev 01) which is used to unplug the emulated drivers (IDE, Realtek 8169, etc) and allow the PV drivers to take over. If the user wishes to disable that they can set: xen_platform_pci=0 (in the guest config file) or xen_emul_unplug=never (on the Linux command

Folks, Please find attached a proposal for the Xen development roadmap for the next 18 months or so. The roadmap gives a "state of the nation" summary and provides suggestions as to priorities going forward. I''ve tried to be inclusive and collect together many of the various features that folks have asked for, along with some implementation ideas to guide developers. The

When xen_emul_unplug=never is specified on kernel command line reading files from /sys/hypervisor is broken (returns -EBUSY). It is caused by xen_bus dependency on platform_pci and platform_pci isn''t initialized when xen_emul_unplug=never is specified. Fix it by allowing platform_pcii to ignore xen_emul_unplug=never, and do not intialize xen_[blk|net]front instead. Signed-off-by: Igor

Hello, as some might have read in my previous postings, I have a Mini-OS dom0 that constructs a Mini-OS domU on x86 xen-3.0.4-testing. As the memory layout my Dom0 builds does not guarantee, that pages the DomU Mini-OS tries to use as page tables are mapped to existing memory, I changed new_pt_frame in arch/x86/mm.c in the following way: The pt_pfn is mapped R/W, then it is zeroed by a

For a while I''ve been intending to provide a better environment for PV baremetal guests. The current arrangements, based on newlib, take quite a bit of porting for many programs. My plan is to take the FreeBSD libc, and write a set of functions implementing the "system calls" in terms of facilities provided by the Xen PV environment, frontend drivers, etc. As part of this I

I have installed xen on a node and while starting up a guest while in the kernel boot I am experiencing a hold/pause. The kernel stops in the boot sequence still loading the kernel at: stdout ...

This patch series contains a set of patches making minios rather easier to use, from an application development point of view. Overview of patches: 1 Command line argument parsing support, from Xen. 2 Weak console handler function. 3 Build system tweaks for application directories. 4 Trailing whitespace cleanup. (because it is very messy) Patch 4 is likely to be more controversial than

Hi, everyone! We google a lot, but can''t find how to config the pvscsi on our ubuntu13.04 PV on HVM.There are some links http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Paravirtualized_SCSI http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_Configuration_File_Options And we use the config option above Configure PVSCSI devices vscsi = [ ''/dev/sdc, 0:0:0:0'' ] I pass sdc to the hvm, but in our pvhvm (ubuntu13.04)

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

The Xen module is unnecessary and it has been for a while. Most Xen systems will not be using the module, even now, because xen-detect is not installed by default on most Xen systems, and dracut uses xen-detect to decide whether to include the module. It also has some problems: 1) it does not try loading xen_platform_pci; 2) it loads modules unnecessarily; modules.alias is where all Xen
