Running xen-unstable downloaded about 4 hours ago on an amd64 system,
everything seems happy enough until this:
root@host:~# xm create /etc/xen/oscar.xm
Using config file "/etc/xen/oscar.xm".
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/sbin/xm", line 10, in ?
main.main(sys.argv)
File "/usr/lib/python/xen/xm/main.py", line 724, in main
handle_xend_error(argv[1], args[0], ex)
File "/usr/lib/python/xen/xm/main.py", line 162, in
handle_xend_error
raise ex
xen.xend.XendProtocol.XendError: (3, ''No such process'')
The config file is (in useful part):
----->8------
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-xenU"
memory = 512
name = "oscar"
vif = [ ''mac=aa:00:07:6b:22:b4, bridge=xen-br0'' ]
disk = [ ''phy:xens/oscar-root,sda1,rw'',
''phy:xens/oscar-swap,sda2,rw'' ]
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"
-----8<-----
Is this likely to be a problem with Xen unstable, or is there something more
generally FUBAR with my config? I''ve run a few 2.0 Xen servers before
on
x86_32 without a problem, so I''m leaning toward amd64 or unstable
breakage,
but it may be a config difference with 3.0 that I''ve hit.
I''ve googled and searched the list archives without success.
Help!
- Matt

Re: [Xen-users] Traceback on xm create "No such process"
> xen.xend.XendProtocol.XendError: (3, ''No such process'')Is xend running when you try this? ps ax and see. If it isn''t, do a xend start and see what happens. Check /var/log/xend.log and /var/log/xend-debug.log and see what is recorded there. If you can''t find anything wrong, it may just be xend - it seems to be broken in some very interesting ways in unstable atm - so just sit tight until a fix appears. Any more info you can provide will be helpful at this stage. -- There was a young man from Japan, . o O ( http://surreal.istic.org/ ) Who wrote verse that just wouldn''t scan; ( It''s like a DEATH CIRCUS! ) When they said, "But the thing Has to go with a swing," GPG 885b170d He said, "Yes, but I like to make the final line last as long as I can." _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I forgot to check the logs, and sure enough there''s some extra handiness in there. I tried to clear the xend-debug.log file by deleting it and restarting xend, but there were all sorts of crashing and faffing behaviour. A few more restarts (and lots of strange, random error tracebacks) and suddenly everything worked. I''ve now got xm create working OK, and I''ve connected to the console without a hassle. I guess this is the joy of running unstable software. <grin> I''ve just subscribed to the commits list, and I''ll keep an eye out for stability fixes to xm and xend.
