Hello. My Xen0 Kernel is booting and my first DomU too. I can ping from DomU to the internet and w3m (a text based www browser) seems to work. But yast2 is screwed up somehow. Online update shows that it cannot get the list of available servers and when I enter a server manually it shows no patches. In addition Yast-Software Installation doesn''t recognize my DVD. Can someone help me please? I want online updates and I want to add some software to my unprivileged domain. If that doesn''t work, will that be fixed in SuSE 10? I know there are some poeple using the 10 Beta... Thank you in advance, Robert _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

You are probably missing some files under /var/adm/Yast/ You need /var/adm/YaST/ProdDB/prod_00000001 and possibly some of the files under /var/adm/YaST/InstSrcManager/ although I can''t remember if those get populated when you select the Installation media. I would copy just the prod_00000001 file first, then see if you can select an installation source media using the yast tool. You can copy the files from your dom0 filesystem to the DomU filesystem, assuming of course that they are both the same SuSE distribution, they have to match. Hope that helps. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I can install new software from dvd now. Great! Many thanks!

Hello!
I am sucessfully running 2 domains but I cannot use the serial bus
for my Belkin Universal UPS.
In boot.msg I see:
8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 48 ports, IRQ sharing enabled
but later on I see dozends of:
modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting 8250 (/lib/modules/2.6.11.4-21.9-xen/
kernel/drivers/serial/8250.ko): Device or resource busy
My /boot/grub/menu.lst looks like:
###Don''t change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: xen###
title XEN
kernel (hd0,11)/xen.gz dom0_mem=261000 xencons=off sched=bvt
module (hd0,11)/vmlinuz-xen root=/dev/Leia/root vga=0x317
selinux=0 splash=silent resume=/dev/md0 showopts
module (hd0,11)/initrd-xen
Is there anything else I can do?
Maybe is that problem solved in SuSE 10? I will then wait a few days
to get a copy.
Thank you in advance,
Robert Welz
PS: The USB Variant of the Belkin Universal doesn''t work either. The
Belkin software seems to connect an I can remotely shut down but the
device delivers no status information at all, it looks like a one-way
connection to the device.

I believe this message is being printed by a driver in xen, and not by the domO kernel at all.> but later on I see dozends of: > modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting 8250 (/lib/modules/2.6.11.4-21.9-xen/ > kernel/drivers/serial/8250.ko): Device or resource busyXen has already grabbed the serial hardware (uart) so when the dom0 kernel tries by loading the 8250.ko module, it can''t see the hardware. Xen has hidden it from view I believe. You can''t have both Xen and Dom0 trying simultaneously to use the bare harware or chaos follows. Now, quoting from the docs...> One can also configure XenLinux to share the serial console; > to achieve this append ``console=ttyS0'''' to your module line.Robert Welz wrote:> My /boot/grub/menu.lst looks like: > ###Don''t change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: xen### > title XEN > kernel (hd0,11)/xen.gz dom0_mem=261000 xencons=off sched=bvt > module (hd0,11)/vmlinuz-xen root=/dev/Leia/root vga=0x317 > selinux=0 splash=silent resume=/dev/md0 showopts > module (hd0,11)/initrd-xen >Maybe if you change you module line to read module (hd0,11)/vmlinuz-xen .... console=ttyS0 ..that will do it (I have not test this). I think that option to the DomO kernel means "don''t try to touch the serial harware yourself, hand the serial data to xen, and xen will use it''s serial driver". I would be glad to know if that works or not. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

But I have some IRQ conflics now on startup. I have to decipher them and see if I can tweak the IRQ distribution in the bios. This will probably take a few days. I will report here in this thread for the records. But thank you very much indeed.
