I''ve been trying for several days to get a xen dom0 booting as described on Boris Derzhavets blog. I have been able to boot Jeremy Fitzhardinge''s pv_ops kernel under xen, but my X server wouldn''t start so I''ve been trying to get Andrew Lyon''s rebased opensuse patches to work. I have asked for help in the freenode ##xen channel but they haven''t been able to solve anything. I did find another person experiencing the same problems as me though. I''ve recorded the boot process on a camera so I could see what was happening as it was so quick. When I boot the 2.6.30.1 patched kernel, it gets up to "Scrubbing Free RAM:..." then reboots. I''ve tried booting with the noreboot option, and the screen goes black when it reaches "Scrubbing Free RAM:..." It has been suggested to use a serial console to debug my problem, but I don''t have access to a pc with a serial port. Attached is my kernel config, and below is the output of cpuinfo and lspci. Let me know if there is anything else I can provide to help. -- /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 15 model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6400 @ 2.13GHz stepping : 6 cpu MHz : 1596.000 cache size : 2048 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 2 core id : 0 cpu cores : 2 apicid : 0 initial apicid : 0 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 10 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good pni dtes64 monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm lahf_lm tpr_shadow bogomips : 4274.06 clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: processor : 1 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 15 model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6400 @ 2.13GHz stepping : 6 cpu MHz : 1596.000 cache size : 2048 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 2 core id : 1 cpu cores : 2 apicid : 1 initial apicid : 1 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 10 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good pni dtes64 monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm lahf_lm tpr_shadow bogomips : 4158.02 clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: -- lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82975X Memory Controller Hub (rev c0) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82975X PCI Express Root Port (rev c0) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) PCI Express Port 1 (rev 01) 00:1c.3 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) PCI Express Port 4 (rev 01) 00:1c.4 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801GR/GH/GHM (ICH7 Family) PCI Express Port 5 (rev 01) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 01) 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI Controller #2 (rev 01) 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI Controller #3 (rev 01) 00:1d.3 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI Controller #4 (rev 01) 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller (rev 01) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev e1) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801GB/GR (ICH7 Family) LPC Interface Bridge (rev 01) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) IDE Controller (rev 01) 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 82801GR/GH (ICH7 Family) SATA AHCI Controller (rev 01) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) SMBus Controller (rev 01) 01:02.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7134/SAA7135HL Video Broadcast Decoder (rev 01) 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8053 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 20) 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8053 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 20) 05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G71 [GeForce 7900 GT/GTO] (rev a1) -- Michael _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Hi Michael, the output of your syslog and/or the messages file (depending on your distribution) and dmesg could be useful. And some information about the Distribution you are using. Had no time till now to read the whole kernel config, but did you use some special options or did you run make oldconfig with an existent config file? If you use Debian as OS, you could do an dist-upgrade to sid or download the 2.6.30er kernel for 64bit machines with dependencies from any repository, at least for testing it''s maybe helpful. Another possibility could be damaged memory modules, try to run memtest from knoppix.

This is my desktop PC and i''m trying to run linux, solaris, and xp together. It''s horribly slow with kvm so I thought I''d try xen. I''m running 64bit ubuntu 9.04. I eventually got the rebased suse 2.6.29.6 to boot. Not sure why the 2.6.30.1 won''t work as I''m using the same kernel config. However with 2.6.29.6 I still couldn''t get my X server to start. I just know you''re going to tell me you can''t help much with that... as the video I''m using is a nvidia geforce 7900... and I can''t bring myself to use the nv driver either :P I have seen other people that have gotten earlier kernel/xen/nvidia drivers to work together. http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=60125 and http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=122900 I''ll keep trying! -- Michael On Thu, Jul 9, 2009 at 5:18 PM, Boris Derzhavets<bderzhavets@yahoo.com> wrote:>> I have been able to boot Jeremy Fitzhardinge''s pv_ops kernel under >> xen, but my X server wouldn''t start so I''ve been trying to get Andrew >> Lyon''s rebased opensuse patches to work. > > Why you want local X-server ?

I''ve tried it with the 2.6.30-50 patches and your config, with hypervisor 3.3.0, 3.3.1, 3.4.0, 3.4.1-rc6, and also with suse kernel 2.6.30-53. None of those options work on my system. Only working configs I''ve found so far is: 2.6.27.26-6.1 from a suse src.rpm (however didn''t support the version of ext4 on my hard drive) 2.6.29.6-xen.aka.suse-xenified-2.6.29-62.1-rebased.patches.by.andrew.lyon w/ hypervisor 3.3 and 3.4 2.6-xen.pv_ops by jeremy w/ hypervisor 3.4.0 and 3.4.1-rc6 I also tried 2.6.18-157.el5 but couldn''t get it to build. It is meant to support the current version of ext4.

Sure - that''s what I keep telling you: This needs to be replaced by
CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQS in the .30 patch.
Oh, I think I now understand what you first did: You apparently replaced
the *other* +#ifdef CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ in the .30 patch - that''s wrong.
You need to make the .30 patch *additionally* make the change indicated
above. (Of course, you could do that in the .29 patch right away, but then
your .29 patch will no longer properly reflect what''s needed for that
version
to build and/or work
right.)

I''ve tried it with the 2.6.30-50 patches and your config, with
hypervisor 3.3.0, 3.3.1, 3.4.0, 3.4.1-rc6, and also with suse kernel
2.6.30-53.
None of those options work on my system. Only working configs I''ve
found so far is:
2.6.27.26-6.1 from a suse src.rpm (however didn''t support the version
of ext4 on my hard drive)
2.6.29.6-xen.aka.suse-xenified-2.6.29-62.1-rebased.patches.by.andrew.lyon
w/ hypervisor 3.3 and 3.4
2.6-xen.pv_ops by jeremy w/ hypervisor 3.4.0 and 3.4.1-rc6
I also tried 2.6.18-157.el5 but couldn''t get it to build. It is meant
to support the current version of ext4.
It''s curious that nvidia drivers worked for andrew lyon in this
