Hej guys, I had to use my old vmlinux-working kernel since my bk pull yesterday. It starts up using the xen.gz file, and doesnt even(cant tell) start loading the xen0 module. And changes there that are corrupting the xen kernel? When grub tries to boot, it reboots. My last update was 27-08-04 at GMT+1 22.

Are you using console on the serial line? If you updated from a version which had 2.4 as default and you are using console on the serial line, then you will have to add a ``console=ttyS0'''' option to your linux kernel module line in the grub config file, since 2.6 doesn''t output the console messages to all devices which claim to be consoles, but only to the first one or to all selected on the kernel command line. christian ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!

Hi Christian,<br>
<br>
Sorry for the confusion, I mean that the machine reboots directly after
starting either:<br>
<br>
title Xen 1.3(2-0-unstable) / XenoLinux 2.6.8.1<br>
kernel
/boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=131072 com=115200,8n1<br>
module
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8.1-xen0 root=/dev/hda2 ro
console=tty0 console=ttyS0<br>
<br>
title Xen 1.3(2.0-unstable) / XenoLinux 2.4.27<br>
kernel
/boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=131072 com1=115200,8n1<br>
module
/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.27-xen0 root=/dev/hda2 ro console=tty0
console=ttyS0<br>
<br>
It really doesnt make any sense to me, as it worked fine before.<br>
<br>

Can you connect a serial line and check if there''s any output?> title Xen 1.3(2-0-unstable) / XenoLinux 2.6.8.1 > kernel /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=131072 com=115200,8n1 > module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8.1-xen0 root=/dev/hda2 ro console=tty0console=ttyS0 That should be ``com1=115200,8n1'''' on the xen kernel line and you also have to add ``console=com1'''' to get the output on the serial line. christian ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!

really trivial question, sorry, ... how do you folks set up vmware with serial emulation to a unix socket and have it work? I can''t seem to get this to go ... anybody want to explain this new trick to this old dog? Use short words with not too many syllables :-) thanks ron ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!

I''ll quick either port it to linux or write an equivalent, if anyone else wants to know how it goes let me know. Sigh, why didn''t I just do that. Oh wait, I did, but was not feeling lucky :-) thanks! ron ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!

Thomas, Are you building with either "debugger=y" or "debug=y" ? Currently, if I build with--- cd xen export debug=y export debugger=y make ---then it crashes as you describe. An ASSERT is failing in spin_lock_irqsave() in printf() when Xen tries to print the Xen banner. I just started looking at it, but I suspect it may be related to Keir''s 1.1278.1.1 changset.>>> "Thomas E.
