Hi, has anyone build a linux-2.6.16 deb that can be used to compile xen? The default unstable package does not seem to have any xen patches included, only the /debian/arch/amd64/xen dir for the .config files. MfG Goswin

Package: xen-3 Version: 3.1-2 Severity: normal Hi, when a domain crashed and enable-dump is yes then the wrong path is tried to dump core: ERROR Internal error: Could not open corefile /var/xen/dump/2007-0925-1045.08-Moose.11.core (2 = No such file or directory) MfG Goswin -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable-security APT policy: (1001,

Hi, I''m trying to use the SYSCALL/SYSRET opcodes with a minios kernel without much success. Going by the manuals (and linux sources) I first have to setup the STAR and LSTAR registers to define the segment and instruction pointer to be used for SYSCALL: /* * LSTAR and STAR live in a bit strange symbiosis. * They both write to the same internal register. STAR allows

Hi, first of all, apologies if this isn't the right mailing list but it was the best I could find. If you know a better mailing list, please tell me. Today I tried to defrag one of my filesystems. It's a 3.5T large filesystem that has 6 software-raids in the bottom and then merged together using lvm. I was running ext3 but removed the journal flag with thor:~# tune2fs -O ^has_journal

Attached patch makes the balloon driver arch-neutral (compiles on ia64... look ma, no #ifdef''s!). Please apply to xen-unstable. One change should be eyeballed, line 257 in balloon.c, because phys_to_machine_mapping[pfn] is not identical to pfn_to_mfn (different by sign bit, should be OK?)

Hi, maybe I'm missing something fundamental but I can't seem to be able to build a custom kernel-image.deb for xen. I was able to build the linux-2.6 with xen images from the repository and build a vmlinux file using the directions from upstream Xen. But I've had no luck with make-kpkg. Can anyone give me some hints? MfG Goswin

I''m a bit confused about the kernel used by the Xen hypervisor. I''ve just installed a 30 day trial of XenSource''s Enterprise edition software on a Sun Fire 4600. It was my understanding that it would install a 64 bit hypervisor, however, upon running uname -a on my machine, I am told that I am running a i686 kernel. Did I miss something? How does one use a 64 bit

Hi, Is there any tool out there that can help me analyze a coredump? Thanks, David. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Hi all, Fewer days ago a CentOS box server suffered a manual and unexpected reset (too large to explain: there are silly people in everywhere). The result was the system did not mount de root (/) partition and the boot process was stopped. I repair it easily: boot from LiveCD (Knoppix in my case), umount root partition and pass the e2fsck utility. Because of that I've used several fs tools

Hello ! Because of a special config of my grub boot system, i try to export in a domU, in read only mode, one of my disk partition mounted in the dom0 (in RW) and i don''t succeed because xen refuse to export this disk partition in a domU. extract of the conf : disk = [ ''phy:/dev/sda,ioemu:hda,r'' , ''phy:/dev/sda6,ioemu:sda6,r]'' ,

Hi all, Can some one tell me where phys_to_machine_mapping is being initialized for a domU having paging mode set to PG_translate. I see that, populate_physmap() after calling __alloc_xen_heap_pages only updates the machine_to_physmap but how is the mfn for the allocated page being updated/set for phys_to_machine_mapping?? I see that phys_to_machine_mapping is a #defined to RO_MPT_VIRT_START

Hi Jeremy. According to your suggestion, I recreated patches for Ingo's x86.git tree. And this patch series includes Eddie's modification. Please review and forward them. (or push back to respin.) Recently the xen-ia64 community started to make efforts to merge xen/ia64 Linux to upstream. The first step is to merge up domU portion. This patchset is preliminary for xen/ia64 domU linux

Hi! I would like to know the status of the frequency scaling in XEN. I found a web site saying that XEN doesn’t work with frequency scaling, at the other hand I found some fixes for powernow-k8 to get rid of some messages. I have an AMD64. powerno-k8 works find with non-XEN kernels, but with XEN-kernels I get the error: powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3400+ processors

(This is a continuation of "[PATCH v9] xen/grant-table: Avoid m2p_override during mapping") The grant mapping API does m2p_override unnecessarily: only gntdev needs it, for blkback and future netback patches it just cause a lock contention, as those pages never go to userspace. Therefore this series does the following: - the bulk of the original function (everything after the mapping

Hi, Olaf we have tested the xenpaging feature and found some problems. (1) the test case like this : when we start a VM with POD enable, the xenpaging is started at the same time. this case will cause many problems ,finally, we fixed the BUG, the patch is attached below. (2) there is a very serious problem. we have observed many VM crash examples, the error code is not always the same.
