[Xen-users] new user - Console is not yet active for guest
Hi, I introduce myself, Im David and Im preparing for RHCE and Xen is a pre-requisite for the lab exam, Ive worked with OpenVZ but never with Xen so Im confused with all this, though Ive read Xen doc, it still bugs me. Ive got the infamous Console is not yet active for guest issue, when I first installed stock Xen from CentOS (3.0, if Im not wrong) and started virt-manager, insralled WinXP SP3 Fully virtualized it worked and when I opened the console I could see XPs desktop and work with it, but I wanted to install x64 CentOS x86_64 as DomU but as I read 3.0 doesnt support that, so I decided to download and compile Xen 3.3 from source, Installed it but could never get it to boot, I guess thats my mistake on some Grub line, then I googled for Xen 3.3 repos, I found one and Installed from there, now Xen starts fine but whenever I try to connect to XPs console using virt-manager I get Console is not yet active for guest tried installing CentOS and the same error shows on virt-console Ive read many posts but they dont give me any lead on this, I know I might have something wrong somewhere but as Im a n00b with Xen, Im a bit frustrated My setup is as follows: CentOS 5.2 x86_64 on an HP Proliant ML-115 with 2GB of RAM the specs for the server are the standard from HP Im using Xen 3.3.0 from this repo: baseurl=http://www.gitco.de/repo/xen3.3.0 [root@ut3 ~]# uname r 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5xen [root@ut3 ~]# xm dmesg __ __ _____ _____ ___ \ \/ /___ _ __ |___ / |___ / / _ \ \ // _ \ ''_ \ |_ \ |_ \| | | | / \ __/ | | | ___) | ___) | |_| | /_/\_\___|_| |_| |____(_)____(_)___/ (XEN) Xen version 3.3.0 (root@labor.lan) (gcc version 4.1.2 20071124 (Red Hat 4.1.2-42)) Tue Sep 9 20:18:14 CEST 2008 (XEN) Latest ChangeSet: unavailable (XEN) Command line: (XEN) Video information: (XEN) VGA is text mode 80x25, font 8x16 (XEN) VBE/DDC methods: V2; EDID transfer time: 1 seconds (XEN) Disc information: (XEN) Found 1 MBR signatures (XEN) Found 1 EDD information structures (XEN) Xen-e820 RAM map: (XEN) 0000000000000000 - 000000000009fc00 (usable) (XEN) 000000000009fc00 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved) (XEN) 00000000000e0000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved) (XEN) 0000000000100000 - 000000007fff0000 (usable) (XEN) 000000007fff0000 - 000000007fffe000 (ACPI data) (XEN) 000000007fffe000 - 0000000080000000 (ACPI NVS) (XEN) 00000000fec00000 - 00000000fec01000 (reserved) (XEN) 00000000fee00000 - 00000000fef00000 (reserved) (XEN) 00000000ff780000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved) (XEN) System RAM: 2047MB (2096700kB) (XEN) ACPI: RSDP 000F8F60, 0024 (r2 HP ) (XEN) ACPI: XSDT 7FFF0100, 005C (r1 HP ML115 G1 10000717 FOXC 97) (XEN) ACPI: FACP 7FFF0290, 00F4 (r3 HP ML115 G1 10000717 FOXC 97) (XEN) ACPI: DSDT 7FFF04D0, 45C7 (r1 HP ML115 G1 100 INTL 20051117) (XEN) ACPI: FACS 7FFFE000, 0040 (XEN) ACPI: APIC 7FFF0390, 0070 (r1 HP ML115 G1 10000717 FOXC 97) (XEN) ACPI: MCFG 7FFF0450, 003C (r1 HP ML115 G1 10000717 FOXC 97) (XEN) ACPI: SPMI 7FFF0490, 003D (r1 HP ML115 G1 10000717 FOXC 97) (XEN) ACPI: OEMB 7FFFE040, 0060 (r1 HP ML115 G1 10000717 FOXC 97) (XEN) ACPI: HPET 7FFF4AA0, 0038 (r1 HP ML115 G1 10000717 FOXC 97) (XEN) ACPI: SSDT 7FFF4AE0, 0182 (r1 HP ML115 G1 1 FOXC 1) (XEN) Xen heap: 14MB (14716kB) (XEN) Domain heap initialised (XEN) Processor #0 15:3 APIC version 16 (XEN) Processor #1 15:3 APIC version 16 (XEN) IOAPIC[0]: apic_id 2, version 17, address 0xfec00000, GSI 0-23 (XEN) Enabling APIC mode: Flat.

Sorry if I made a repeated question but Im not too much into joining mailing lists to get a problem solved and then leave, I 1st look my problem up and as a last resource I ask. Thanks for any help that can be provided. --- David Gonzalez - DGHVoIP Asterisk dCap Telephony Specialist Ahora tanbien el las Páginas Amarillas URL: <http://www.paginasamarillas.com.co> www.paginasamarillas.com.co Contact info: Bogotá: +(571)289-1168 Medellín +(574)247-0985 Mobile: +(57)315-838-8326 WEB: <http://www.dghvoip.com/> www.dghvoip.com MSN: <mailto:david@planetaradio.net> david@planetaradio.net Skype: davidgonzalezh _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
