Xen users - Jun 2010 - XCP: Will not boot after clean install

Just installed XCP 0.1.1 with verified media on an intel 64 bit dual core
machine 8gb ram, local sata disks.  installer boots fine and runs fine sees
all hardware and installs great.  when rebooting i see the cloud splash
screen and about 10% of the status bar loads then eventually it goes to
black screen similar to a redhat bootup and hangs after setting the
hostname.

it endlessly spits out:

INFO: task nash: 5567 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
"Echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this
message.

cannot get past this and have tried installing and wiping disks 3 times now.

any pointers welcome.

Under some circumstancens there’s some problem with the initrd’s nash which
doesn’t quit clean. A questionable, but working solution is to:

kill -9 `pidof nash`

I don’t exactly know the XCP architecture, but I assume it’s some kind of
standard linux. If you’re unable to get the boot process finished, try to add
this line at the top of /etc/rc.local

In detail, boot with init=/bin/sh , mount your /etc/ containing partition
read-write mount –o remount,rw / , edit the file, sync and reboot.

 

As said, a cleaner solution would be to rework the initrd image instead of
killing the nash process.

 

 

i cant even login to the initial install or do anything, how would i do that? 
im not even to the point of installing or creating any vms.
