Xen users - Feb 2008 - Xen 3.2 is not loading on FC8 - Error: Kernel panic - Attempted to kill init

Hi all,

I compiled and installed Xen 3.2 source on FC8. Compilation and installation
completed with no errors. However when I try to load Xen I get an error:
Kernel panic - Attempted to kill init !!!

This is my grub configuration:

# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
#          root (hd0,0)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda

    module /initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img

I tried loading Xen without initrd also. But I get the same error.

Please can anyone help me. I''ve trying to solve this problem since last
Friday and I can''t see any light at the end of the tunnel

I just compiled xen 3.2 on F8 64bit today.
Here is my grub
title Xen 3.2 (2.6.18.8-64)
        root (hd0,3)
        kernel /boot/xen.gz console=vga
        module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen ro root=LABEL=/dom0 console=tty0
        module /boot/initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img

Did you include the sata drivers into img? like

   - cd /boot
   - sudo /sbin/depmod 2.6.18.8-xen
   - sudo /sbin/mkinitrd -v -f --with=aacraid --with=sd_mod
   --with=scsi_mod initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img 2.6.18.8-xen

Hi Argyro,

 

Could you take out the "quiet" switch in the Xen kernel boot args and
tell us exactly what it says? You might also want to add a "noreboot"
in
that section so you can write down exactly what it says.

 

Thanks,

-Tait

Hey Tait,


When I remove the quiet flag it says the following:

Scanning logical volumes
Reading all physical volumes
No volume groups found
Activating logical volumes
    Volume group VolGroup00 not found
Creating root device
Mounting root filesystem
mount: could not find filesystem /dev/root
Setting up other filesystems
Setting up new root fs
setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file pr directory
no fstab.sys, mounting internal defaults
setuproot: error mounting /proc: No such file ot directory
seturoot: error mounting /sys: No such file to directory
Switching to new root and running init
unmounting old /dev
unmounting old /proc
unmounting old /sys
switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory
Booting has failed
Kernel panic-not synching: Attempted to kill init!


When installing Fedora Core 8 I didn''t do custom partitioning I used
the
default option. If custom partitioning is need can you please tell me
exactly what partitions are needed?

Thanks
Argyro

I guess some device driver for your sata driver was not loaded, so the
kernel can''t find the /dev/root device.
Did you change the .config of linux kernel? By default, it should include
most of the drivers.

I remember that I had to compile all the RAID + LVM section of the kernel config
directly into the kernel, and not as modules. As well I had to have each of the
USB host sections as modules and the AHCI support built as a module.

Then I compiled my initrd with sd_mod, sg, ahci (I think) to get it to find my
logical volumes.

no I didn''t change anything in .config of the linux kernel.

I''m running FC8 on a DELL OptiPlex 755,  2.33GHz Core Duo processor, 4

So then what type of changes would I have to make to the config file to
compile the kernel the way you describe? I took a look at it and I it seems
to me that the write options are enabled.

Thanks for your help !!!

I did a comparison of the drivers included in the linux-zen kernel and the
drivers FC8 has. The only difference is that the linux-xen drivers do not
include the ata drivers. Is the linux-kernel downloaded inclomplete? How do
I get it to download the ata drivers as well?

Thanks
Argyro

I just go into /lib/modules

There you will see two directories one for the xen-linux-kernel and one for
your standard linux distro in my case FC8. By going into those 2 directories
then going into /kernel/drivers I see that the ata driver directory is
missing from the xen-linux whereas it''s present for FC8

Thanks
Argyro

When I try to create my inirtd image the way you said yesterday it says that
there is no ata_generic driver for the kernel. So to actually succeed in
creating my initrd image I need to ommit the scsi modules which I think
it''s
creating the problem. FC8 has it ata_generic but it''s no where to be
found
in the xen-linux.  How do I get it to compile with the ata drivers? Any
ideas???

Thanks

Argyro

maybe you need to explicitly compile them

make linux-2.6-xen-config CONFIGMODE=menuconfig

select the related drivers

So I finally got it to load the xen-kernel by copying ata_generic.ko and
libdata.ko from /lib/modules/2.6.23.1-42.fc8/kernel/drivers/ata  to
/lib/modules/2.6.18.8-xen/kernel/drivers and adding them into the
modules.dep file located in /lib/modules/2.6.18.8-xen in the same manner the
exist in the corresponding file in fedora.

Thanks for your help

Argyro,

When you are in the xen-3.2.0 directory type "make linux-2.6-xen-config
CONFIGMODE=menuconfig"
Then scroll down to the device drivers section and look for RAID + LVM and press
"y" so a star appears beside them.
You can do a search for the AHCI and USB host sections. There is information on
how to do so when the configuration menu pops up. Also, make sure you save it.

Then type "make linux-2.6-xen-build" followed by "make
linux-2.6-xen-install".

After that you will have to make the ram disk. "mkinitrd
/boot/initrd.img-2.6.18.8-xen 2.6.18.8-xen -preload=ahci -preload=sd_mod"
and you can add other modules you think will need to be loaded on boot for the
system to find the filesystem.

Some of those commands may not work as I haven''t done an install in
over 2 weeks. So let me know if they don''t and I''ll go try
myself.

Thanks,
Tait

So then what type of changes would I have to make to the config file to compile
the kernel the way you describe? I took a look at it and I it seems to me that
the write options are enabled.
 
Thanks for your help !!!

I guess some device driver for your sata driver was not loaded, so the kernel
can''t find the /dev/root device.
Did you change the .config of linux kernel? By default, it should include most
of the drivers.

Hi Argyro,
 
Could you take out the "quiet" switch in the Xen kernel boot args and
tell us exactly what it says? You might also want to add a "noreboot"
in that section so you can write down exactly what it says.
 
Thanks,

Hi all,

I compiled and installed Xen 3.2 source on FC8. Compilation and installation
completed with no errors. However when I try to load Xen I get an error: Kernel
panic - Attempted to kill init !!!

This is my grub configuration:

# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
#          root (hd0,0)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
default=0
timeout=15
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
#hiddenmenu
title Fedora (2.6.23.1-42.fc8)
    root (hd0,0)
    kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.23.1-42.fc8 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
    initrd /initrd-2.6.23.1-42.fc8.img

title Fedora Core 8 + Xen 3.2.0
    root (hd0,0)
    kernel /xen-3.2.1-rc1-pre.gz
    module /vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
    module /initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img   

I tried loading Xen without initrd also. But I get the same error.

Please can anyone help me. I''ve trying to solve this problem since last
Friday and I can''t see any light at the end of the tunnel


Regards
Argyro

I tried that but it would still compain about missing the ata_generic
module. So I just copied ata_generic.ko and libdata.ko from fc8 to the
drivers in linux-kernel and added them to the modules.dep file also and now
it''s loading the kernel fine.

Thanks for your help !!!
