Hello all, I have downloaded the XEN (3.0.2) binaries, done the install and created the XEN kernel. I used this Howto: http://www.planetjoel.com/viewarticl... Dapper+Drake After the usual problems with /dev/loop, /var/run/xenstored and /var/run/xend. Domain 0 starts and all seems well. VMT is enabled, I am running with an Intel D 930. As soon as I try to start a DomU (WINXP): xm create winxp everything freezes, no error messages, this needs a reboot. Before I send log excerpts, would anyone have had the same experience?? TIA and regards, JC John Cassidy (Dipl.-Ingr.)

I would also suggest using testing, and you MUST make sure enough memory is available for the guest to use. Many times I would forget to run a xm mem-set command to reduce dom0''s memory, and the system would restart or freeze. I use the following script to prepare Xen for use... #!/bin/sh mkdir /var/run/xend mkdir /var/run/xenstored /etc/init.d/xend restart xm mem-set 0 1G modprobe loop _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I was running Xen on a AMD X2 with 2 GB RAM, 1 GB for dom0 and 512 MB for WinXP domU. I wrote all what I did step by step here: http://computingart.freehostia.com/index.cgi/linux/Z24.xen3-ubuntu-amd64.html Where are you trying to install WinXP? To a disk partition, to an image file? Maybe the partition is already mounted in dom0? -- Z24 _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I have a few questions related to the XP install. 1. If I use Ubuntu-server, how do you install XP since there is no window that will popup, since X11 isn''t installed on DOM0? 2. How much RAM does DOM0 really need? If all it is going to do is be host for all the DOMU, what is the require minimum?

That said, less than 256MB is probably not a great idea... _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
