Hi *, i am coming from UML, and now i evaluate Xen on my desktop: Xen-2.0.4 linux-2.6.10 "CONFIG_MODULES is not set" "CONFIG_AGP is not set" "CONFIG_FB_RADEON=y" FC3, [/usr]/lib/tls moved away It works, but some desktop applications crash once in a while within dom0: metacity-2.8.6 firefox-1.0.1 wnck-applet (from gnome-panel-2.8.1) But

Hi. I have a Shuttle box with an AMD Athlon XP 2200+ and 1GB of RAM. I''m normally running it with Debian sarge/sid and kernel 2.6.10-1-k7, as built by Debian. I want to use Xen on it. I built a xen0 kernel which is as close to the Debian kernel as I can (no power management, no HPET timers, broken ISA drivers disabled), disabled /lib/tls, and booted with the new kernel. Everything works.

Hi all, With the new vm-tools we are trying to get top like capabilities going correctly. Currently we have a program vm-list that has some of this capability but is dependent on the cpu time given by libxc calls (xc_get_dom_info & xc_domain_get_cpu_usage). These two functions give you how much time (in nanoseconds, why is this not documented) the domain has been actively used. Approaches:

Hi there! I was wondering what the general opinion on autotoolizing xen is? I am volunteering to do so, if there is interest in updating the build system to use autoconf, automake and/or libtool. Is one configure script for all of xen enough or do you want to be able to configure all/some tools separately? I know that Anthony is no fan of libtool... are there more reservations about some

Hi, I''m using xen on two-node redhat cluster (CVS devel version), using lvm as storage backend. redhat cluster is used to synchronize LVM metadata (using clvmd) and as storage for domain configs and dom-U kernels (with gfs). Latest version of redhat cluster works with xen-2.0.4, but not with xen-2.0-testing. ccsd failed to start on 2.0-testing. Anyone knows what the problem is? I

google yields nothing except for indicating that it is a boot loader problem. my dom0 partition is on a 9 GB SCSI disk drive. I have a raid1 device (md0) which I have created a series of partitions via lvm2. on boot, xm create /etc/xen/xm-single -c I get what looks like a normal boot until TCP: Hash tables configured (established 4096 bind 8192) NET: Registered protocol family 1 NET:

Hi folks, I have OpenVPN (respect for it developers) running on my FW. Is has two external NICs and on internal everything is fine, except I want OpenVPN (UDP port 1194) going not via default route/network interface. I use such commands: iptables -t mangle -D POSTROUTING -o eth0 -p udp --dport 1194 -j MARK --set-mark 0x990 ip rule add fwmark 0x990

I''m tracking performance on the machine I installed yesterday. mutt running on one Xen instance, accessing via imap to another instance, accessing via nfs the maildir in another instances, seems little laggy when moving up and down the message index list. Network latency seems low < 30ms on average. So I was tracking vmstat. On the mutt instances is seems reasonable: [nic@shell:~]

I think this is the last of the header fixes I''ve run across. Though it''s sometimes difficult to tell, I believe Xen/ia64 has asm/mm.h, flushtlb.h, page.h, and shadow.h. Please apply. Signed-off-by: Hollis Blanchard <hollisb@us.ibm.com> -- Hollis Blanchard IBM Linux Technology Center

I posted this to the Fedora-test list but I''ll try here. If I need to ditch fedora rpms and move to building directly from src before posting here, please let me know and I''ll do so (apologies in advance if this is the case). I have the following Fedora RPMS installed: kernel-xen0-2.6.10-1.1155_FC4 kernel-xenU-2.6.10-1.1155_FC4 xen-2-20050222 I can

Apologies if this is the wrong place to post this question. In that event, please point me in the right direction. My question is whether or not I can use Xen with OpenMosix. The upshot of what I''m attempting to do is this: 1. Build a two to four node cluster using OpenMosix for "raw horsepower" 2. Use Xen on the OpenMosix cluster to divide the "raw horsepower" any

I successfully installed Xen 2.0.4 from source on a Slackware 10 system. I installed grub, got that working and all. But when I boot the dom0 kernel, I get: cmd 0x5a timed out hdc: lost interrupt My hdc is my dvd burner... when I applied a kernel option of "hdc=ide-scsi" it seemed to have skipped over it but recieved the same error on hdd ... I''ve tried recompiling with

Hi again I have a minimal Fedora Core 3 image running fine as domain 0 (thanks and sorry for the previous FAQ query) using both the standard install ramdisk image, and the FC3 ramdisk image downloaded from xen sourceforge. However, I can''t get it running in a non-zero domain. In brief, I have a full FC3 installed on /dev/hda1, which I typically use as my domain 0 OS. Then I have a

Hi, I''m trying to run ntpdate from domain zero and getting weird results. This used to work (prior to using xen). Is this related to xen at all or an entirely unrelated issue? Queries seem to work: # ntpdate -q time-b.nist.gov Looking for host time-b.nist.gov and service ntp host found : time-b.nist.gov server 129.6.15.29, stratum 1, offset 41.820087, delay 0.17027 17

Looking at the 2.0 code, it looks like the guest OSs are made to believe that PSE is not available. Is this a design choice? Has any work been done on supporting 4M pages in guest kernels?

Our newly build xen kernel does not boot. The error message is : Invalid or unsupported executable format. I have build xen from the xen-2.0.4 source (make world, make install) on a debian sarge system. I have not changed any of the kernel configurations, I did make an initrd image. The entry in my menu.lst is : title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.10-xen0 root (hd0,0) #

Hello list, Currently, i use a partition image to run my XenU (/dev/hda2) and "fdisk -l" return nothing and can''t open /dev/hda . I want to use a full hard drive image (not partition image) from my Xen0 as hda in my XenU. I want to be able to run fdisk on hda in my XenU to list and regenerate partitions. I tried with this (/img is my hard drive image): disk =
