Hi: I''m installing the Xen on Ubuntu 7.10. When coming at the step of: xen-create-image -hostname=test --debootstrap --... I can see only the "installation method: debootstrap" in the screen, and also notice that the test.log in /var/log is increasing, saying as if the process of installation is downloading things. But the process is too slow(1 hour has passed, and it''s downloading things which have ''g'' as the first letter). Does it mean I have to wait for that to complete?Another issue is that, during the process, the Ubuntu may halt that may be caused due to its unstability, so after reboot I have to re-do what I have done and have to re-wait from the very beginning. Is there any suggestions on the issue I run into? Thanks! _________________________________________________________________ News, entertainment and everything you care about at Live.com.

Re: [Xen-users] need a long time to install Xen on UBuntu?
Hi, well, your selected ubuntu mirror could be slow, but this is very inlikely. Presuming your uplink is connected to eth0, I would suggest to ethtool -K eth0 tx off in your dom0. Additionally, if you''re already running domU''s on this machine, apt-get install irqbalance could help you also on SMP machines. Hope this helps. cheers, Stephan Xu nanxuan schrieb:> Hi: > > I''m installing the Xen on Ubuntu 7.10.
