HELP!!!! (I have provided everything I can think of in this email in the hopes that someone can help me a.s.a.p.) I have followed the howtos at howtoforge.com to the letter. I have gone through the wiki''s. I have gone through the mailing lists and I am still stuck. I am trying to get Xen 3.0.2-2 running on kubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake). My computer is a notebook with a Pentium-M 750 (1.8GHz), 1GB ram, 80GB hd, ATI x600 video. I have tried both the binary install and the source install. I even tried completely rebuilding my box from scratch with FC5 and the xen 3.0.2 that comes with the install DVD, but regardless of how I install Xen, even though the Dom0 environment works great, I cannot get a DomU environment to launch properly. On both FC5 and kubuntu, every time I issue the xm create call, the result is : Using config file "polydactes-fw". Started domain polydactes-fw Linux version 2.6.16-xen (root@polydactes) (gcc version 4.0.3 (Ubuntu 4.0.3-1ubuntu5)) #2 SMP Fri Jun 23 23:42:10 CDT 2006 BIOS-provided physical RAM map: Xen: 0000000000000000 - 0000000008000000 (usable) 0MB HIGHMEM available. 136MB LOWMEM available.

Ok. Then everything appears to lock up without going any further. If I look at "xm top", I can see that the DomU environment is getting between 85% and 95% of the CPU, but it apparently isn''t going any further. It''s just in some sort of infinite loop. The config file for my DomU is simple (as shown in the how-tos at howtoforge.com. Here it is: # -*- mode: python; -*- name="polydactes-fw" kernel="/boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xen" ramdisk="/boot/initrd-2.6-xen.img" root="/dev/hda1 ro" disk=[''phy:/dev/mapper/Polydactes-firewall--disk,hda1,w'',''phy:/dev/mapper/Polydactes-firewall--swap,hda2,w''] memory=128 # network vif=[ '''' ] dhcp="off" ip="192.168.0.101" netmask="255.255.255.0" gateway="192.168.0.1" hostname="polydactes-fw.polydactes.com" extra="4" #on_poweroff = ''destroy'' #on_reboot = ''restart'' #on_crash = ''restart'' Looking at the xend-debug log file I see the following: Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.0.3 Copyright 2004-2005 Internet Systems Consortium.

I know I''m missing something simple and stupid, but I have absolutely no clue what the DomU is trying to do at this point that would cause it to behave like this. What do I need to do to correct this? Sincerely, Eric _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
