Hi, I recently installed a new computer with OpenSuse 10.0 and wanted to install an run Xen on this machine. I looked for a good howto and found: http://en.opensuse.org/Installing_Xen3. I followed the installation step by step and everything worked, until I tried to boot the virtual server. I saw all the boot messages but didn''t get any command prompt after all. The last thing he told me is, that Runlevel 3 finished. But no console prompt appears and if i try to connect to the machine using "xm console" didn''t work either. Could anyone give me a hand and help me out of this problem? What additional information do you need to help me?

Did you copy the modules and kernels into /lib and /boot?

Hi, Yes, I did this: cd /var/tmp/dirinstall cp /boot/*xen* ./boot echo "/dev/hda1 / reiserfs defaults 1 1" > ./etc/fstab rm -f ./etc/mtab sed -e "s/^[1-6]:/#\\0/" < ./etc/inittab > ./etc/inittab.new mv ./etc/inittab.new ./etc/inittab cp /etc/passwd /etc/shadow ./etc cp /etc/ssh/sshd_config ./etc/ssh/sshd_config cp /var/adm/YaST/ProdDB/prod_* ./var/adm/YaST/ProdDB cd / umount /var/tmp/dirinstall And I also copied the modules from /lib to /var/tmp/dirinstall/lib Kind regards, Sven Oros SimPlan Integrations GmbH Friedrich-Ebert-Str. 87 D - 58454 Witten Tel.: +49 (2302) 20297 25 Fax: +49 (2302) 20297 19 * sven.oros@simplan.de H www.simplan.de _________________________________________________ -----Original Message----- From: xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com [mailto:xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com] On Behalf Of Daniel Bauer Sent: Friday, March 03, 2006 3:36 PM To: Xen-users@lists.xensource.com Subject: Re: [Xen-users] Problems with XEN and OpenSuse 10.0 From: "Sven Oros" <sven.oros@simplan.de>> I recently installed a new computer with OpenSuse 10.0 and wanted to > install an run Xen on this machine. > > I looked for a good howto and found: > http://en.opensuse.org/Installing_Xen3. > I followed the installation step by step and everything worked, until > I tried to boot the virtual server. > > I saw all the boot messages but didn''t get any command prompt after > all.

Hi, >I saw all the boot messages but didn''t get any command prompt after if I remember correctly there was a problem with guests on reiserfs on a resierfs-partition, but anyway I still use etx3-fs for all installations! I do the installation of the guest a little different and always had success: I create a file with dd into a image-directory, format it with ext3 and mount it as loop-device. Now I make the SuSE-installation via YaST into a directory and the last things are copying the kernel to the image-directory, creating an /etc/fstab and copying passwd/group/shadow from a known installation over to be able to login. I''m using SLES 10.0b3, 10.1b5 and Ubuntu 5.10, for OSS the integrated XEN-packages and for Ubuntu Xen 3.0.1. The SLES-betas still have several problems but I think they will be solved in the final version, on Ubuntu (based on Debian) most was running without problems but Ubuntu installs a lot of unneeded stuff and the important things have to be installed manually later! -- Chau y hasta luego, Thorolf _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Hi, Thanks to all of you. I finally got this to run on my machine. I''ll now start to migrate all of our servers one by one to a single machine. Thanks a lot.
