Hi, i have the latest XEN unstable source from today (06.10.2005) and I''m not able to boot my xenU. I got the following error, which i think is the reason why it can''t mount the rootfs: xen_blk: Initialising virtual block device driver vbd: probe of vbd-2049 failed with error -22 Registering block device major 8 xen_net: Initialising virtual ethernet driver. vif: probe of vif-1 failed with error -22 xen_net: Timeout connecting to device! this is my config for this domain: kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-xenU" ramdisk = "/boot/initrd.img-2.6.12-xenU" memory = 256 name = "becki" vcpus = 1 nics=1 disk = [ ''file:/data/dom_becki/os.img,sda1,w'', ''file:/data/dom_becki/swap.img,sda2,w'' ] root = "/dev/sda1 ro" extra = "2" restart = ''onreboot'' I also tried to attach the files direktly to a loop device an changed the "disk" part in the config file: disk = [ ''phy:/dev/loop0,sda1,w'', ''phy:/dev/loop1,sda2,w'' ] But it doesn''t help. I googled and searched the xen mailarchive, but can''t find any references to this problem. Can someone give me a hint what to test next? What exactly is this "error -22"? Thanx in advance, Jan _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

do you have a kxbwatch thread that is stuck in disk wait? [root@xeon tools]# ps afx | egrep [k]xb 3001 ? D< 0:00 \_ [kxbwatch] I don''t know what it is/means. The thread lives in dom0 and apparently handles some sort of communiations. I had this trouble with the nightly snapshot from last night, and now I''ve updated to mercurial (of a few hours ago) and see the same thing. I expect I had the same problem with the 09/28 snapshot, but hadn''t actually noticed the 1.00 load average. The real problem is the error -22 and subsequent timeouts... xen_blk: Initialising virtual block device driver vbd: probe of vbd-769 failed with error -22 xen_blk: Timeout connecting to device! xen_net: Initialising virtual ethernet driver. vif: probe of vif-1 failed with error -22 xen_net: Timeout connecting to device! I believe -22 is "invalid parameter" Running on a dual xeon, on a supermicro motherboard. -Tom On Thu, 6 Oct 2005, Hien Nguyen wrote:> I have the same problem with : > > changeset: 7224:f98c8238e9095a2dad33639211ba95a2a459af12 > tag: tip > user: kaf24@firebug.cl.cam.ac.uk > date: Wed Oct 5 13:15:56 2005 > summary: Gentoo compatible stuff has to be done *before* the set -e. > You could also do > > > > Regards, > > Hien Nguyen > Linux Technology Center AUSTIN > Phone: (512) 838-4140 Tie Line: 678-4140 > e-mail: hien1@us.ibm.com > > > _______________________________________________ > Xen-users mailing list > Xen-users@lists.xensource.com > http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users >---------------------------------------------------------------------- tbrown@BareMetal.com | Drive thy business, or it will drive thee. http://BareMetal.com/ | - Benjamin Franklin web hosting since ''95 | _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
