Hello list, I was following the instructions for XEN with Gentoo and able to set up an running domain 0 with x86_64. This was very easy but I must have done a big mistake because I am still unable to start any guests... I was trying several configurations (for the guests) but without any result. /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp --- (logfile /var/log/xend.log) (loglevel DEBUG) (xend-relocation-hosts-allow ''^localhost$'') (network-script network-bridge) (vif-script vif-bridge) (dom0-min-mem 196) (dom0-cpus 0) /etc/xen/test --- kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16.18-xenU" name = "test" memory = 256 disk = [ ''phy:xenDiskGroup/test,sda1,w'' ] root = "/dev/sda1 rw" The device /dev/xenDiskGroup/test is a partition with reiserfs where I copied the domain 0 system. I changed the fstab inside this system to have /dev/sda1 mounted as /. When I start this guest, it stopps after a few seconds: xen ~ # xm create /etc/xen/test -c Using config file "/etc/xen/test". Started domain test xen ~ # The logfile /var/log/xend.log only says "Domain has shutdown" ... "reason=reboot". After the second restart of this guest, XEN stops this guest "to avoid loops"... "[2006-06-07 13:02:41 xend] INFO (XendDomain:363) Domain test (18) unpaused. [2006-06-07 13:02:52 xend.XendDomainInfo] INFO (XendDomainInfo:836) Domain has shutdown: name=test id=18 reason=reboot" What do I need to do to see any output of this guest? I was trying to give any additional information to the kernel to see anything on the serial device (extra = "com1=9600,8n1 console=ttyS0 debug") but also without result. If I mount /dev/xenDiskGroup/test to /mnt/test then I am able to chroot to this location. Any suggestions? The kernel config for the domU is the same as for dom0, despite the following settings: [ ] Privileged Guest (domain 0) < > PCI device backend driver < > Block-device backend driver < > Network-device backend driver < > TPM-device backend driver <*> Block-device frontend driver <*> Network-device frontend driver < > Block device tap driver < > TPM-device frontend driver [*] Scrub memory before freeing it to Xen [ ] Disable serial port drivers < > Export Xen attributes in sysfs I have no idea what to do next so any suggestions or any ideas are really helpfull.
