hello all, it''s my first time ever with xen (or even virtualization in general). I installed Xen 3.2 on top of a Debian Lenny kernel 2.6.26-2-686 via apt-get. Boot options are: title Xen 3.2-1-i386 / Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-xen-686 root (hd0,0) kernel /xen-3.2-1-i386.gz dom0_mem=512000 module /vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-xen-686 root=/dev/mapper/athena-root ro console=tty0 module /initrd.img-2.6.26-2-xen-686 but aparently xend it not up: # xm list Error: Unable to connect to xend: No such file or directory. Is xend running? even though: # ps -ef | grep xen root 31 2 0 17:41 ? 00:00:00 [xenwatch] root 32 2 0 17:41 ? 00:00:00 [xenbus] root 3320 1 0 17:41 ? 00:00:00 xenstored --pid-file /var/run/xenstore.pid root 3327 1 0 17:41 ? 00:00:00 xenconsoled root 3781 3727 0 17:48 pts/0 00:00:00 grep xen I searched google and I''ve found many posts with the same error, but got quite confused I confess, because none of the posts (that I could find) had the same combination of kernel + xen version, and as such I didn''t feel comfortable to try the proposed solutions, as i hardly understood them... would you mind guiding me a bit here? many thx in advance p. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
I was having the same problem, and I have fixed it by reinstalling dom0 with a 64bits kernel. 2010/11/4 Paula R T Coelho <paulartcoelho@gmail.com>> hello all, > > it''s my first time ever with xen (or even virtualization in general). > > I installed Xen 3.2 on top of a Debian Lenny kernel 2.6.26-2-686 via > apt-get.
