I use xen-4.0.1-rc3-pre with linux 2.6.31.13 on Ubuntu Lucid and virt-manager 0.8.4. When I try to run a Fedora 13 PV domain that I''ve created I get the following error: Error starting domain: POST operation failed: xend_post: error from xen daemon: (xend.err "Boot loader didn''t return any data!") And the details are: raceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 814, in run_domain vm.startup() File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 1286, in startup self._backend.create() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 333, in create if ret == -1: raise libvirtError (''virDomainCreate() failed'', dom=self) libvirtError: POST operation failed: xend_post: error from xen daemon: (xend.err "Boot loader didn''t return any data!") I found on google several references to this problem, and almost alll of them wrote that you need to make symbolic links, so that libvirt could find the Xen components. I don''t know which files I need to link. What should I do? _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

What should I do?Fedora 13 uses ext4 for /boot filesystem as a default. Is your Xen/pygrub compiled with ext4 support? You need to have suitable devel libraries installed before building Xen.. See http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Xen4.0 for required packages. I think it''s e2fslibs-dev in debian/ubuntu. -- Pasi _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
My /boot fs is ext3, and my Dom0 starts. I tried to rebuild xen and tools, and that error was gone. But now I''m getting errors from virt-manager itself. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

I''ll try to install Xen 4 on Fedora 13, since all the virt-manager scripts are written for Fedora. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
