I''m having a problem with the boot sequence hanging indefinitely at "stopping system V runlevel compatibility". Here are the steps I took to get to this point: 1) installed a single boot, server version of ubuntu 11.10 (intended to be dom0) 2) apt-get install xen-hypervisor-4.1-amd64 xen-utils-4.1 xenwatch xen-tools xen-utils-common xenstore-utils 3) updated grub as follows: - changed the default boot order - added the following entries GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true GRUB_SERIAL_COMMAND="serial --unit=0 --speed=9600 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1" GRUB_TERMINAL="console serial" GRUB_CMDLINE_XEN="com1=9600,8n1 console=com1,vga" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="console=tty0 console=hvc0"for the new menu entries and xend-config.sxp 4) made the following changes to /etc/default/xendomains: XENDOMAINS_SAVE="" XENDOMAINS_RESTORE=false 5) rebooted Then, as mentioned, the new boot sequence hangs indefinitely at "stopping system V runlevel compatibility" . Has anyone else seen this with 11.10 server (there are some results in google about this happening with previous, multi-boot and/or gnome versions of ubuntu)? Any advice as to next steps? _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Thanks for the response. I installed lightdm-gtk-greeter (having been through all of the previous steps I mentioned above) and rebooted. I was presented with a graphical login screen but it wouldn''t accept my credentials (neither root nor user). Also, I lost ssh access! Let me ask: 1) is an X front end login screen a necessity to make xen work on ubuntu 11.10 (I''d rather not have an X server running) 2) the other steps you mentioned - are these required also to address my problem? If so, please could you specify what I have to do load the backend and other mentioned modules (err yes, sorry, I one of the newbies). Is it ''modprobe...'' for each of the named modules? Does this need doing manually each time I reboot? As you''ll gather, I haven''t tried these yet... Thanks for looking at this. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I can install the hypervisor and boot to dom0 fine until I put the following entries into /etc/default/grub: GRUB_SERIAL_COMMAND="serial --unit=0 --speed=9600 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1" GRUB_TERMINAL="console serial" GRUB_CMDLINE_XEN="com1=9600,8n1 console=com1,vga" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="console=tty0 console=hvc0" After updating grub and rebooting, I then get the hang during bootup. Can anyone tell me whether it could be one/some/all of these entries and how I should replace them (I originally put them in based on this howto: http://wiki.debian.org/Xen)?
