Xen users - Apr 2008 - Sucessful Upgrade from 3.0.4 to 3.2 anyone?

Hi,

 

Has anyone actually successfully completed an upgrade from 3.0.4 to 3.2
using tar balls?

 

Ive tried various ways but everytime the compile is complete the system
just constantly reboots.  Ive managed to upgrade fine from other version
like 3.0.1 etc but 3.1 and 3.2 are just a nightmare.

 

Ive spent hours on this and am getting nowhere fast.

 

If anyone has any tips they would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

 

Ian

It just worked for me, but I use Debian''s packaging of Xen plus some
local patching.

Would you mind posting a quick guide on how you did it if possible?

Ian,

Are you upgrading your dom0 kernel version at the same time?  If I recall 
correctly, the 3.0.4->3.1 development cycle changed the default memory mode 
to be PAE.

This means that your old 3.0.4-based dom0 Linux is probably non-PAE whilst 
your 3.1-based Xen will be PAE - that combination will refuse to boot.

You can get more feedback on why the machine is rebooting constantly by 
putting "noreboot" on the Xen command line so that the messages will
stay on
the screen for you to read.  A manual poweroff/on will be required to reset 
the box.

Cheers,
Mark
