[Xen-users] Cannot creat Xen virtual machine with Yast in Suse 10
Dear All:
I have problems in Suse 10 Linux Enterprise server 64bit.
I installed Xen shiped with Suse installation.
I boot the system with Xen virtual machine support.
In Yast, I want to creat virtual machine with Xen manager. However, it always
report there are not free memory available.
I check /proce/meminfo , it shows as below, there are some free memory.
I checked with command line, like
xm list
it returns errors:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/sbin/xm", line 8, in ?
from xen.xm import main
File "/usr/lib64/python/xen/xm/main.py", line 51, in ?
from xen.util import security
File "/usr/lib64/python/xen/util/security.py", line 25, in ?
from xen.lowlevel import acm
ImportError: /usr/lib64/python2.4/xen/lowlevel/acm.so: undefined symbol:
xc_acm_op
my python version is 2.4.2, shipped with Suse installation.
I guess I have damaged the package of Xen (initrd-2.6.16.20-0.12-xen)
How can I repair it?
I do not want to reinstall the whole system.
Thanks

Maybe to something like "rpm -V xen\*" to find out what''s wrong. Also check you have everything needed installed ("rpm -qa xen\*"): xen-doc-html-3.0.2_09763-0.8 xen-tools-ioemu-3.0.2_09763-0.8 xen-tools-3.0.2_09763-0.8 xen-3.0.2_09763-0.8 xen-doc-pdf-3.0.2_09763-0.8 xen-libs-3.0.2_09763-0.8> I do not want to reinstall the whole system.Please also have a look at /usr/share/doc/packages/xen/README.SuSE Ulrich _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

[Xen-users] BOOTING PARAVIRTUALIZED DOMU FORM ISO IMAGE
Hi all, I need to boot a pravirtualized domU from an ISO image (linux kernel). I''ve tried with: kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-xenU" memory = 128 name = "xen05" #cpu = -1 # leave to Xen to pick vif = [ ''mac=00:00:20:01:01:05, ip=x.x.x.x'' ] disk = [ ''phy:/dev/mapper/lvm1-xen05,sda1,w'',''phy:/dev/mapper/lvm1-xen05swap,sda2,w'',''file:/ISOIMAGE.iso,cdrom,r'' ] #cdrom = "/ISOIMAGE.iso" root = "/dev/sda1 ro" boot = "/dev/sdb" (and boot="d") # Sets runlevel 4. extra = "4" but it doesn''t work...

Re: [Xen-users] Cannot creat Xen virtual machine with Yast in Suse 10
Karl, Believe me, two weeks ago I was exactly where you are now. The first thing I have to say to you about Suse''s virtual machine tool is this DO NOT USE IT!!!!>From what I can tell, it does not work right. I have successfully installXen w/ SuSE 10.2 on a Dell 64bit server. I can spin off a server rather quickly these days. I even have a Fedora Core 6 environment running. (That''s was a problem too, but another time. ) If you need any assistance creating a xen environment from hand, I can point you to some awesome docs.

Re: [Xen-users] Cannot creat Xen virtual machine with Yast in Suse 10
Well, For starters, this one works. http://en.opensuse.org/Installing_Xen3 A side not though, and someone please correct me if I''m wrong, but in my process of getting Xen to run, I determined this step which I think many writers of the documentation take for granted. If your running a reiser fs, then the direction are good to go, but if your main filesystem is ext2, ext2, etc... apply the directions whatever filesystem your running. To the best of my knowledge, and attempting to get that damn reiser module to load, if your running filesystem A, it''s not going to load filesystem B module. At least that was the problem I ran into. Once I figured that out, I was good to go.
