Create HVM(VMX) in FC5-test3 cause whole system crash and reboot
by You, Yongkang
Hi all,
I just downloaded and installed FC5-test3 ia32. XenU hasn't problem to be
created. But When I try to create VMX, Service OS will crash and reboot. I also try the latest RPMS of kernel-xen-guest-2.6.15-1.1975_FC5.i686 and kernel-xen-hypervisor-2.6.15-1.1975_FC5.i686
I paste the Serial port report in the attachment.
I can not get Xen changeset info by xm info or xm dmesg. Can I know the changeset to investigate more? I will report a bug to bugzilla.
Best Regards,
Yongkang (Kangkang) 永康

anaconda install problems
by Ben
I'm trying to use the xenguest-install.py script and am running into
issues. I answer the initial questions and make it to the choice
where it's asking about text mode vs. VNC. Regardless of which I
answer, the install bails out like so:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 1108, in ?
from yuminstall import YumBackend
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/yuminstall.py", line 427
if self.tsInfo.reqmedia = {}:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
install exited abnormally
[snip]
you may safely reboot your system
I don't know much about anaconda, but I do know that I can't find the
yuminstall.py file anywhere, which I was hoping might help me debug
things a bit.

Basic FC5t3 Xen questions
by Ben
Hey guys, I'm trying to try out xen on FC5t3 on x86_64, and have some
basic install questions. The FC5 Xen quickstart mentions that I can
use xenguest-install.py to install guest domains. That's cool, but it
seems that:
1. it really wants to use file-backed domains. I want to use LVM-
backed domains.
2. it requires an install path to something. What is that a path to?
These appear to be such basic questions that the documentation or
mailing lists don't answer them...... yet.

So you can use the vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.1955_FC5guest kernel to boot any of the
images provided by jailtime.org? Including ones like Debian 3.1?
Would you mind explaining how is this achieved? Does a Debian guest system
not need a Debian guest kernel?
Would I be able to do the same with, say, a Suse10 image?

managing disks inside a guest
by Darren Birkett
I have xen-3 running on fc5t3, with 3 domU fc5t3 guests. fdisk is unable to
see the virtual disk inside a guest, but parted is able to see it when run.
Why is this, and is it likely to be fixed?

xennet source?
by Ajay M Desai
I want to build xennet using the CentOS4.2 kernel but I cannot find the
source in Fedora 5 kernel-xen-guest-devel package. I'm trying to create
a guest install of CentOS using FC5 as the HVM. I want to use
xenguest-install.py to install CentOS via http but I need to create a
/images/xen/vmlinuz and initrd. Can someone point me to the xennet.ko
files. This is what I see on my system.
rpm -q -l kernel-xen-guest-devel | grep xen
.....
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.15-1.1969_FC5-guest-i686/drivers/xen/netback
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.15-1.1969_FC5-guest-i686/drivers/xen/netback/Makefile
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.15-1.1969_FC5-guest-i686/drivers/xen/netfront
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.15-1.1969_FC5-guest-i686/drivers/xen/netfront/Kconfig
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.15-1.1969_FC5-guest-i686/drivers/xen/netfront/Makefile
....
I have to say that installing FC5 Guest worked great on my HVM, nice work!

OK, please open a bugzilla report for that.

That looks like
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=182328
which can be worked around by manually removing /var/lib/xen/xenbl.
There's a partial fix in that bz, we're looking at the rest of it.

Memory in xen kernel < physical memory
by Danny_Trinh＠Dell.com
I have a system with 4 CPUs and 8GB RAM. I noticed that:
- When I boot up the machine with hypervisor kernel (fc5t3), I saw less
than 4GB RAM (/proc/meminfo).
- When I boot up the machine with up kernel (fc5t3), I saw 4GB RAM
(/proc/meminfo).
- When I boot up the machine with smp kernel (fc5t3), I saw 8GB RAM
(/proc/meminfo).
Is that supposed to be for fc5t3?
Thanks,

eth0 not showing up in guest domains
by Adam Huda
I'm running rawhide (vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.1955_FC5hypervisor kernel). I'm
booting my guests with the vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.1955_FC5guest kernel.
I've been trying out the guest filesystems from jailtime.org. My xend-
config.sxp is setup for bridging, (network-script network-bridge)
& (vif-script vif-bridge). Whenever I boot into a guest system,
"ifconfig -a" only shows the loopback device. Any ideas on what
happened to eth0? I've tried setting vif = [''] and vif =
['mac=00:16:3E:00:00:11'] in my guest configuration file.
