The recent change to the declaration of idle_loop in domain.c fixed a compilation problem on gcc 3.4.2. Enclosed patch is another suggestion on how to solve that problem. Some further analysis, with much help from Jimmy Xenidis of IBM research, shows that the problem was not the declaration of the function as static void, but that the compiler is optimizing the function out of the assembled

This patch for linux-2.6 defconfig more than quadrupled iperf throughput, restoring the gigethernet network performance to wire speed at long last. Applies to xen-2.0-testing.bk xen-2.0.bk and xeno-unstable.bk The throughput on linux-2.4.29 seems fine. I hadn''t tried it since 2.4.27. The relevant sccs comment, from Dec1: ======== linux-2.6.10-xen-sparse/arch/xen/configs/xen0_defconfig

Hi everyone, I''m running Xen on an SMP machine. Couple of things: a) is dom0 pinned to a particular CPU? if so which? can I control the choice? b) with the 2.6.10 Xenolinux kernel, cat /proc/cpuinfo shows only a single CPU on my SMP machine. Is this a known problem/behavior? c) if I understand correctly, the BVT scheduler parameters are CPU specific -- they don''t aggregate

Has anyone expirienced problems with the aic79xx controller and xen 2.0.3 (liinux-2.6.10)? I have got FC3 running and compiled xen-2.0.3 from the sources. The compile ssems to work fine but after rebooting the xen0 domain the server stops during boot at the aic79xx message - no harddisks are recognized. I''ve searched through the mailinglist up and down, asked google but

I am seeing a kernel message, "hdc: lost interrupt", when running LTP on the xen0 domain. The first time I saw the ''kernel: hdc: lost interrupt'' in /var/log/messages, I was running LTP on both xen0 and xenU domains. The xenU domain was totally hung at this point. Suspecting a setup error, I re-checked the installation and reran LTP on xen0 alone, without having

Under xen, either stock xen-2.0.1+linux-2.6.9 or Fedora''s latest (2.6.10-1.1109_FC4), drdb (<http://www.drbd.org/>),as soon as I try to write to one of its devices, causes "Badness" in the kernel and, ultimately, a spontaneous reboot. Under non-xen 2.6.10-1.1109_FC4 and 2.6.9-1.678_FC3, drbd works fine. The error: Jan 25 21:01:23 turing kernel: Badness in blk_plug_device

Announcing the open-ovf project and source code availibility. Hi folks, we are announcing the availibility of source code for the open-ovf project. OVF is a standard packaging format for virtual machines and software appliances. The open-ovf project is seeking contributors and users to help establish OVF as a transparent and platform-nuetral method for packaing virtual machine images. We

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

Hey all, This utility (from Qemu) might be useful to anyone who has multiple partitions on a file-backed VBD and wants occasionally to mount them in dom0. http://www.dad-answers.com/qemu/utilities/QEMU-HD-Mounter/lomount/ You can tell it what partition to mount out of the file and it sorts out the offsets, etc. by parsing the partition table. This allows you to get around the loop

Hello folks I see the EVTCHN driver being initialized as a part of DomainU. XEND (or domain controller) uses the EVTCHN driver to receive notifications for events on the control interface. However there is no XEND (or domain controller) that runs in DomainU. So what is the purpose of initializing EVTCHN driver in DomainU Thanks in advance Nauzad

Hi everyone, This is for Xen 2.0.3. I''m really interested in the functionality of atropos (enforcing CPU partitioning in a non work-conserving fashion). As I had reported earlier, atropos seemed broken in 2.0. It still seems broken now: $ xm list Name Id Mem(MB) CPU State Time(s) Console Domain-0 0 123 0 r---- 49.1 vm1 1 47

Hi list! I''m trying to run 2.4.29-xenU with grsec. Jacob Gorm Hansen said couple of weeks ago, that grsec should work with xen when pax is disabled.. Well, to get the kernel compiling there''s some source hacking that needs to be done.. I''ll describe what I did and what error I got: I downloaded xen-2.0-testing-src.tgz and extracted it. I edited the toplevel Makefile

Hello Samba Team, I am new to Linux, but not to networking. However, I am having a bear of a time setting up Samba on a small test network - 3 Machines. I have read all your example setup files for Samba, config, lmhosts, hosts, resolve, etc., and have read back to back "Linux - Samba Server Administration" by Roderick W. Smith (Craig Hunt Linux Library) My test network (10-100

Hi, I have been trying to debug Xen using kdb. However, I am unable to successfully boot dom0 after compiling and installing kdb. Software/hardware config: Base distribution - Debian Lenny (64-bit) on a Dell desktop (Optiplex 780) with a serial cable to another machine. Xen 4.0.1 (without kdb) works fine. Here are the steps I followed to set up Xen-unstable with kdb. 1. Cloned code from

I''m attempting to migrate from vmware to xen, however I need to be able to run more than one bridge.

Hi Guys, Thanks for the interest in the xen hypervisor debugger, prev known as kdb. Btw. I''m gonna rename it to xdb for xen-debugger or hdb for hypervisor debugger. KDB is confusing people with linux kdb debugger and I often get emails where people think they need to apply linux kdb patch also... Anyways, attaching patch that is cleaned up of my debug code that I accidentally left in

Name: python-install.patch Description: Use --root instead of --home --home causes python''s distutils to install into /usr/lib/python/, while --root causes it to install into /usr/lib/python$ver/site-packages, which is the more correct location.

Is there any way (short of not patching it into the kernel) to turn KDB off on a given machine? There are some machines I do not want dropping into kdb when/if it oopses. Thanx, b.

I admit I was scepticle of this suggestion - but it actually seems to have worked. COmpiling a straight GENERIC kernel with KDB and DDB included do seem to have made my irq22 interrupt storms go away. Certainly I have spent some time trying to provoke the problem and not managed to make it read it's ugly head again. The thing is though, this doen't make me particularly happy - as I am
