Xen users - Oct 2007 - xm create <domain> hangs with vanilla 2.6.23.1

Hi!

I''ve seen that there is Xen support in vanilla 2.6.23.1 and wanted to
give it a try but failed :(

I''ve googled for a while and read some threads about problems with
2.6.23 on xen-users and xen-devel but could not find a solution.

My Dom-0 is running on a Debian Etch with xen installed from Debian
packages and running a 2.6.18 Kernel with Xen support (from Debian).

$ xm list
xen_major              : 3
xen_minor              : 0
xen_extra              : .3-1
xen_caps               : xen-3.0-x86_32p

Every time I try to ''xm create -c'' a domain, the command
hangs.
When using ''xm create'' without console request, the command
finishes
but a ''xm console'' hangs.

According to ''xm list'' does the domain some things...

I`ve tried to boot vanilla 2.6.23.1 with/without SMP and with/without
ACPI support. Local APIC was off every time, I''ll play with this when
I`m
at work.

I also have applied the patches from 

 * http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2007-10/msg00277.html
 * http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2007-10/msg00292.html

but this did not help either.

My kernel .config file can be found at
http://files.rfc2324.org/config-2.6.23.1-xen

Any hints, how to get this going?
Any additional info needed?

Ciao & Thanks!
Max

Maybe the domain is just not outputting to the virtual serial console?

Add "console=hvc0" to the extra= section of your domain config.

Does that help?

Cheers,
Mark

I updated my Xen to 3.1 and added  console=hvc0 and got it working.

Very nice :)
