I got the latest qemu repo with xen device model support from - git://xenbits.xen.org/people/sstabellini/qemu-dm.git Here are some of the issues I encounter/questions I have - 1) Passing --enable-xen while running ./configure results in ERROR ERROR: User requested feature xen ERROR: configure was not able to find it ERROR Turned out there are some interface version compatibilities between qemu from the above repo and everything else from staging/xen-unstable. Tweaking xc_interface_open parameter under "xen probe" in the configure file got past this problem. 2) Passing --target-list=xen-dm-softmmu to configure resulted in "ERROR: Target ''xen-dm-softmmu'' not recognised" error as target_arch2 is xen and not xen-dm. Switching to --target-list=xen-softmmu got me going. Perhaps this should be fixed in the configure file if the expectation is to pass xen-dm-softmmu. 3) When I attempt to build after this point I get all kinds of errors due to interface compatibility mentioned in #1 above. Is there a specific version of libxc/libxenstore/libxenctrl etc. and relevant headers I should be using with this qemu? If so, that would be good to know as I would rather switch to a compatible interface than go about fixing all the resulting build errors.

Most of them are in xen_disk.c, xen_backend.c while calling methods like xc_interface_* or xc_gnttab_* etc. They are all trivial to fix locally though there are more than a few places to fix. I will make local changes to keep going and Anthony can confirm and fix the issues when he is back. I am not attaching the build errors here as they are readily reproducible when using staging/xen-unstable headers.

Hi
I''ve just tried to configure & install latest xen 4.0.1 from
repository and linux 2.6.32.18 (from pvops repository). When I launch
''xm create -c /etc/xen/xen.cfg'', I get Error: (22, Invalid
argument''). This problem did not appear with previous version (around
month ago). Dom0, however, boots without any problem.
XEN issues the following messages when error occurs:
(XEN) mm.c:860:d0 Error getting mfn a7a4b (pfn a7820) from L1 entry 80000000a7a1
(XEN) mm.c:860:d0 Error getting mfn a7a4c (pfn a781f) from L1 entry 80000000a7a1
(XEN) mm.c:860:d0 Error getting mfn a7a4d (pfn a781e) from L1 entry 80000000a7a1
(XEN) mm.c:860:d0 Error getting mfn a7a4e (pfn a781d) from L1 entry 80000000a7a1
(XEN) mm.c:860:d0 Error getting mfn a7a4f (pfn a781c) from L1 entry 80000000a7a1
(XEN) mm.c:860:d0 Error getting mfn a7a50 (pfn a781b) from L1 entry 80000000a7a1
(XEN) mm.c:860:d0 Error getting mfn a7a51 (pfn a781a) from L1 entry 80000000a7a1
CPU is multicore Xeon 5600 (Nehalem arhitecture).
Thanks,
Ruslan
