Hi Everyone, I''m having some problems with the new xl command. When I try to start my DomU by doing xl create config.xen, I get the following error: Parsing config file config.xen the rate parameter for vifs is currently not supported libxl: error: libxl_device.c:476:libxl__wait_for_device_model Device Model not ready xl: fatal error: libxl_create.c:535, rc=-1: libxl__confirm_device_model_startup My config.xen file looks like this: bootloader = "/usr/bin/pygrub" memory = 128 name = "u23018" vif = [ ''ip=10.87.0.118,bridge=public,script=vif-bridge,mac=00:16:3e:29:a2:24,rate=50Mb/s,vifname=vifu23018'' ] #disk = [''file:/home/sysadmin/xen/ubuntu-10.04-x86_64/ubuntu.10-04.x86-64.20100426.img,sda1,w''] disk = [''phy:/dev/vg0/u23018,xvda1,w''] root = "/dev/xvda1" extra = "fastboot" on_poweroff = ''destroy'' on_reboot = ''restart'' on_crash = ''restart'' Even when I comment out the vif line, the above problem still persists. I''m using CentOS 5.6 x86_64 as my DomU with kernel 2.6.18-238.12.1.el5xen Using the xm command works fine. Any help is appreciated.

This should help us understanding the problem. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Do you have a version of Xen which has 23044:d4ca456c0c25 "libxl: do not start a xenpv qemu solely for tap devices if blktap is available" in it? I don''t recall if the problem when this happened was a failure (such as the above) or just a wasted process but it would be worth trying IMHO. I thought that change was in xen-4.1-testing.hg but it looks like it isn''t. IanJ/Keir can we backport that one please?> My config.xen file looks like this: > > bootloader = "/usr/bin/pygrub" > memory = 128 > name = "u23018" > vif = [ > ''ip=10.87.0.118,bridge=public,script=vif-bridge,mac=00:16:3e:29:a2:24,rate=50Mb/s,vifname=vifu23018'' > ] > #disk = > [''file:/home/sysadmin/xen/ubuntu-10.04-x86_64/ubuntu.10-04.x86-64.20100426.img,sda1,w''] > disk = [''phy:/dev/vg0/u23018,xvda1,w''] > root = "/dev/xvda1" > extra = "fastboot" > on_poweroff = ''destroy'' > on_reboot = ''restart'' > on_crash = ''restart'' > > Even when I comment out the vif line, the above problem still persists. > I''m using CentOS 5.6 x86_64 as my DomU with kernel 2.6.18-238.12.1.el5xen > > Using the xm command works fine. > > Any help is appreciated. > > Thanks > > _______________________________________________ > Xen-devel mailing list > Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com > http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel_______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
