Hi everyone, I have compiled and installed Linux 3.0.0 and Xen 4.1.1 on Debian Squeeze, both from source and enabling this two options: CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT=y The problem arises when booting Xen. After its startup, it seems that it cannot correctly load Dom0 devices since it says: Loading, please wait... Mount: mounting none on /dev failed: No such device w: devtmpfs not available, falling back to tmpfs for /dev udevd[972]: Worker [978] unexpectedly returned with status 0x0100 Anyone has an idea of what I am doing wrong? Does it need any package or do I need to rebuild initramfs?

Hello Ian, Thanks for your replay! I have just done the same things you did and nothing changed. After booting Xen the same error appears. I dare to think it is something related either to a .deb package missing or a kernel config option I missed. But what would they be if those can be my mistakes? Thank you Tony.

RE: [Xen-users] Debian 6 as Dom0 not booting on Xen 4.1.1
Hello, Sorry for the late reply but I was doing some testing on recompiling the kernel from scratch. Actually I have get rid of the previously described errors. This was by activating again the same two features of DEVTMPFS. Now I honestly am consused when starting Dom0 kernel + Xen it stops at: Loading, please wait... (never continuing in black screen) Later booting on - linux + xen + (recovery mode) -, it stops at: Loading, please wait... udev [966]: starting version 164 hrtimer: interrupt took 2701681 ns I''ve found this is a bug in some VMs https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/3/30/719 But the patch doesn''t fix anything it just delays what is unavoidable. It actually detects the disk controllers because dmesg and lspci report they are working well when booting linux 3.0.0 alone. I have also installed new version of UDEV.. 172-1 but later downgraded to 164-3 since it is unstable and triggered more issues. I think there could be an option in the kernel config I should either activate or deactivate which can be related to this. Thank you! Tony.

RE: [Xen-users] Debian 6 as Dom0 not booting on Xen 4.1.1
Hello Ian, I have managed to solved every problem described bellow. This was by recompiling the kernel, but this time with thesame 2.6.32-5 Debian Squeeze kernel configuration. The one I am working on is 3.0.0 from Debian.org and the bootprocess is slow but normal. Now at the time of booting kernel 3.0.0 + Dom0 it hangs at: [ Configuring network interfaces... ]And it never goes on. I have commented lines of static IP address in /etc/network/interfaces Only left uncommented these ones: auto loiface lo inet loopback But still the same issue.Has this something to do with Xen? Or should I edit another file? Thank you!Tony.

RE: [Xen-users] Debian 6 as Dom0 not booting on Xen 4.1.1
Hello guys, Sorry for the delay too, but I wanted to post until I had good news :). And actually I do. I have managed to compile vanilla kernel 3.1.0 rc8from Linus Torvalds'' site: https://github.com/torvalds/linux I am working on Debian 6 with kernel 2.6.32-5. But I decided to compile it sinceI need Dom0 and ROOT NFS support as well. @JPPO: Thank you! I cannot use the debian kernel packages because I need to customize the kernel to have ROOT NFS working. It''sworth saying I tried it but it didn''t boot since it stopped at: [ configuring network interfaces... ] (never continuing) Now It boots perfectly, but it is far too much slow, it has taken 3 hours now and it cannot finish starting GDM, it shows the little white circlespinning but nothing more yet. I have also added dom0_mem=1024 to the linux kernel module. Any ideas guys? Thank you a lot!Regards, Tony. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Subject: RE: [Xen-users] Debian 6 as Dom0 not booting on Xen 4.1.1 Date: Tue, 27 Sep 2011 21:50:24 +0100 From: itobin@tidyhosts.com To: jp.pozzi@izzop.net; xen-users@lists.xensource.com CC: Hi, Sorry for the delay in replying.

If your machine has some memory try using a bigger piece of memory as the dom0 has work too. I use from 1536M to 3072M on machines with 8gb or 16Gb.

RE: [Xen-users] Debian 6 as Dom0 not booting on Xen 4.1.1
Hello! I am doing ALL that on VMware workstation 8, here http://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/XenParavirtOpsit says it is only 1024 but I tried 1024M and nothing. Would VMware represent a probably buginside Xen 4.1.1 or Linux 3.1.0? I added this: clocksource=pit to the boot line from http://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/XenParavirtOps but still the same.
