Hello, I can''t load the network in unprivileged domain with xen-unstable (Changset 8612). Xen boots fine and domain0 is OK. When I start a new domain I have the following report when booting: ----------------B<----------------------------- * Not running depmod because /lib/modules/2.6.12.6-xenU/ is not writeable. Loading modules... All modules loaded. FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.12.6-xenU/modules.dep: No such file or directory Setting the System Clock using the Hardware Clock as reference modprobe: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.12.6-xenU/modules.dep: No such file or directory Cannot access the Hardware Clock via any known method.

I don''t have this problem with the release 3.0.0. Thus I try with different Changeset and I can say that the problem was introduced between changeset 8242 (which is RELEASE-3.0.0) and changeset 8571. I''m using xen-unstable.hg with debian stable for domain0 and a debian testing for domain1. I continue my investigation to find exactly which modification causes this.

Here is my /etc/xen/capablanca domain configuration: ----B<-------- kernel="/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-xenU" memory=1024 name="capablanca" disk=[''phy:sdc1,sdc1,w'',''phy:sdc5,sdc5,w'',''phy:sdc6,sdc6,w''] root="/dev/sdc1 ro" -------------- This kind of configuration worked until xen-unstable.hg changeset 8329. But, the changeset 8330 made obsolete the usage of ''nics'' option. In the tools/python/xen/xm/create.py, the default value was set to ''-1''. The solution is to add an empty vif variable in the domain configuration file. Maybe it can be interesting to add a message when ''vif'' variable and ''nics'' variable are not defined in the domain configuration file to precise that ''nics'' is deprecated. Currently if none variables are defined the network just doesn''t work but the reason is not clear. Hope this help, Best regards, Guillaume _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
