I''m trying to install xen-3.0.4 from source on a debian sarge (3.1r4)
box
with dual AMD-64 processors (with the new HVM support, although I don''t
think that''s got anything to do with the problem).
I installed only the packages necessary to compile xen and its kernel(gcc,
make, bzip2, bridge-utils, etc).
In the source directory, I ran ''make world && make
install''. I then ran
''mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.16.33-xen 2.6.16.33-xen''.
Finally, I added these lines to /boot/grub/menu.1st:
title xen 3.0.4 / linux 2.6.16.33-xen
root (hd0,0)
kernel /xen-3.0.4-1.gz
module /vmlinuz-2.6.16.33-xen root=/dev/sda2 ro
console=ttyS1,115200
module /initrd.img-2.6.16.33-xen
savedefault
boot
When I try to boot, though, I get as far as the xen kernel trying to load,
and then grub spits this out, and the machine reboots:
root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /xen-3.0.4-1.gz
[Multiboot-elf, <0x100000:0x9a878:0x5a788>, shtab=0x1f5078,
entry=0x100000]
module /vmlinuz-2.6.16.33-xen root=/dev/sda2 ro console=ttyS1,115200
noreboot
sync_console
[Multiboot-module @ 0x1f6000, 0x52afa0 bytes]
module /initrd.img-2.6.16.33-xen
[Multiboot-module @ 0x721000, 0x4b6000 bytes]
Is there anything I''m missing? Anything I can do to help debug the
problem?
Paul

What version of gcc are you using - if you have a bleeding edge compiler, maybe it clobbered the binaries in some way (we''ve seen problems where new compilers optimization features causes Xen to "go wrong" because the compiler makes assumptions about things that aren''t matching reality). Gcc 4.0 or older should be fine tho''. -- Mats> > Paul > > > -- > ---------- > # pwd > /loony/bin > ---------- > > > _______________________________________________ > Xen-users mailing list > Xen-users@lists.xensource.com > http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users > > >_______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Can you do objdump -d on your xen-syms (in ...<xen-source>/xen) - just the first 15-20 lines should be enough to see that it''s looking about right - just mail it to me, not the list, as I don''t think most of the list will appreciate assmebly dumps ;-) -- Mats> > > This is a fresh debian install, no addons or changes at all. > > Paul > > _______________________________________________ > Xen-users mailing list > Xen-users@lists.xensource.com > http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users > > >_______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I might be missing something if for some reason it''s sending data to the other port, but not much. It reboots immediately after the xen kernel loads. And I doubt it''s sending data to the wrong serial port. This is a server machine with BIOS, grub, kernel, and getty output all coming to the right port.
