treating logical volumes as physical drives
by Justin Wickett
I would like to use a logical volume as a "physical" drive on which I
can install a fedora operating system. As of now, when I run xenguest-
installer, it treats the install location that I specified ( which is
an unformatted logical volume that I had just created ) as a physical
drive (named "xvda") and allows me to perform a basic install on it.
When I look at that logical volume, it comes up as a "foreign"
device, because it contains a /boot directory, and a volume group
consisting of a / directory and a swap directory. I was wondering
how to mimic that effect without using my xenguest-installer program,
so that when I pop a CD in and the installer starts up, I can specify
a logical volume and let the installer treat it as a physical drive
just like the xenguest-installer program does.
I am trying to accomplish this because I was unable to install FC4
via the xenguest-installer. I had mounted the image as a loopback
device to /var/ftp/pub and specified the /pub directory in FTP
server's root folder as my "Installation source", and was greeted by
an error from my FTP server (vsftpd) saying "550 Failed to change
directory". When I do the exact same thing except mount the FC6 iso
instead of the FC4 iso, everything works fine. What could I be doing
wrong?
If all else fails, I guess I can just specify in my /etc/xen/xm-
fc4-001 file the kernel and the ramdisk parameters, and install FC4
on an ext3 formatted logical volume specified as the / directory, and
thus reuse my existing /boot directory instead of trying to use the
pygrub bootloader with a new /boot directory. In this case, where
could I find a compiled xenU kernel and an appropriate initrd image
for FC4?
Thank you very much and happy new years to all!

"No drive found, to create filesystem"...problem with fedora 6 paravirtualization
by Vania Martino Toma
Hi,
i've installed fc6xen, the service of XEN and the Domain0 starts correctly.
I've tried to install another fedora6 paravirtualized and i've selected
installation in 1 large file (xen1) with 5 GB of space limit in
/home/b4y path. The installation in VNC starts correctly, but in the
window to create the partition structure, not appears the virtual hard
drive. The installation stops with the message " no drive found, to
create filesystem...".
Help me, please!!!
Best regards

HVM guest does not start anymore (dma_timer_expiry)
by Felix Schwarz
Hi,
I'm using Xen on a FC6 (x86_64) system (Dell E521, AMD X2 4200 with
Pacifica-Support) with a number of different guest systems (paravirtualized as
well as fully virtualized ones). One of these is a FC6 (i386), running in HVM
mode (because AFAIK x86_64 Xen does not support i386 paravirtualized guests).
Everything worked fine so far. Today, I did a yum update in the guest machine,
loading the updates of the last 2-3 weeks. This was okay to. Unfortunately, the
guest won't start anymore.
I'm getting these boot messages (manually typed in here, typing errors may be
present):
...
no fstab.sys, mounting internal defaults
Switching to new root and running init.
unmounting old /dev
unmounting old /proc
unmounting old /sys
... wait for some time ...
hda: DMA interrupt recovery
hda: lost interrupt
hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x24
(again and again)
My host system is fully patched as as of 01/06/2007 and so is the guest system.
As a special exception, I am running kernel version
2.6.18-1.2857.4.2.fc6.0.2.sctxen on the host system in order to get my Broadcom
network chipset working.
I can boot the guest just fine using qemu from Fedora Extras.
Other HVM guests (such as FC5 i386) are booting just fine.
Any ideas?

problems with rhel4(clone) as DomainU on FC6 Xen host
by Jeroen Beerstra
hi there,
I am currently playing around with the Xen support in FC6. Installation of Xen
and FC6 Domain0, setting up a FC6 guest with virt-manager all went well,
however I did not succeed in running a second RHEL4(clone) guest I prepped
with Qemu.
It took quite some time to figure things out, firstly the host is x86_64 and
the guest is/was a 32 bit X/OS (Dutch RHEL clone) desktop , but if I
understand things correctly there shouldn't be any problems when running a 64
bit kernel with 32 bit userland. Then I had to learn that a initrd for
domain0 is not the same as one for a domainU :) After that the guest booted
with the FC6 Xen kernel when I disabled SELinux , however udev fails to
start which makes the bootup stop on filesystem check time because I used the
default LVM setup and the LVM devices are not created, so the rootfs cannot
be found. The repair shell however showed the rootfs is mounted
on /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 ro and a remount rw does work even
though /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 does not seem to exist :?
So I decided I needed a Xen enabled RHEL4 x86_64 kernel and got it from
http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/rhel4/RPMS.kernel/.
I could also convert the image to a non LVM one (the Centos4.4 guest from
jailtime.org does bootup properly even though it has the same udev problem,
because of this), but I rather have a fully functional X/OS.
Ofcourse there were problems. I could not install the x86_64 kernel inside the
X/OS guest booted with Qemu so I tried manually putting things in place.
Running '/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package
kernel-xenU --mkinitrd --depmod --install 2.6.9-42.36.ELxenU' produced some
errors related to strip and 64bit kernel modules, but the initrd got created.
I'm sure I can work around this if needed, however Xen crashes on the RHEL4
Xen kernel right away:
# xm create -c VirtualXOS4_test

Is the RHEL4 Xen kernel incompatible with FC6 Xen? If so does anybody know if
an updated version exists and were to get it?
And then there is pygrub, with the FC6 guest created by virt-manager this
works like a charm, however with the X/OS guest it just won't work:
# xm create -c VirtualXOS4
Using config file "VirtualXOS4".

I even tried copying over the grub installation from the FC6 x86_64 guest, but
the problem remains. Anybody has any idea why pygrub is failing:

System hang when starting cups in Xen
by Andre Vehreschild
Hi,
I installed the current xen-kernel on a FC6 and tried to boot it on my Intel
Core 2 Duo. Everthing seems fine until the system tries to start the
printer-service cups for a locally connect parallel port printer. It simply
hangs forever. After a reboot, I checked if the non xen-kernel is able to
boot: It is. Next I went into the interactive mode, when rebooting into xen.
I neglected the start of cups and the system continued to start up upto the
yum-updatesd. Then hanging again.
Do I miss something? Do have to configure something before I am able to
install the rpms as provided by Fedora?
I use Fedora Core 6 with the most recent updates kernel-xen-2.6.18-1.2869.fc6
on an Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 1GB Ram on a Gigabyte 965G Board.
Thanks in advance for any advices. Greetings,
Andre

Xen error on FC 5, problem creating guest
by Pushkar Pande
Hi,
I am working on a P4, 2.4 GHz intel system with 512 MB of RAM. I installed
the xen0 and the xenU kernel that comes along with the installation DVD. I
am able to boot xen, and the 'xm list' command shows the Domain-0 running.
I tried to build a guest with the following config file
kernel="/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
name="FC5Guest"
memory=256
root="/dev/hda1"
disk=['phy:/root/temp/disk.img,hda1,w']
vif=['']
saved to fc5-inst
when i tried to create the guest using 'xm create -c fc5-inst' , i get the
following error
'Error creating Domain: (22, 'Invalid Argument') '
I am new to xen, please help me out.

virt-install "ERROR: CD device must exist"
by Mike Julier
I am:
New to Linux
New to Xen
Working with new(er) motherboard (intel DG965SS).
When running virt-install I get to the "what would you like to use for the
virtual CD image?" question I get "ERROR: CD device must exist!"
I have tried answering the question with:
- nfs:192168.1.2:/tmp/LinuxInstallTree <-- a directory with the contents
of the install DVD
- nfs:192.168.1.2:/tmp/LinuxInstallDisk <-- a directory containing the .iso
file of the install DVD
- nfs:192.168.1.2:/tmp/LinuxInstallDisk/FC_6.x86_64.DVD.iso <-- the .iso
file itself
When I did the original install of the host (Dom0) I had to use the "linux
all-generic-ide" command/option because of some sort of issue where the
install script could not see the CD drive once it was ready to start
actually installing. Unfortunately I have no idea if the CD error is saying
that I haven't done something correctly on the host OS or if the install of
the guest is barfing or obviously about to barf so the script is killing it
early. I can't see the CD drive when running either the .fc6 or .fc6xen
kernels. (I'm under the impression that would be hoping for too much given
my inexperience and newness of the mobo.)
Thanks for any help. Please feel free to ask any clarifying questions.

error mounting /proc: any solution ?
by Frank Morane
Hi,
This problem has been around since September 2006. The last working
version I used was vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2133_FC5xenU under
vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2133_FC5xen0. The domu I try to run is CentOs 4.4 which
runs fine under FC5.
The reason I want to make it work is that we have production servers and
we wish to avoid having to re install everything and migrate a big bunch
of domains and database etc.
I am trying to run my existing domU with FC6 but I cannot get passed
this root system problem. I tried with other distros and get the same
problem, same thing with XenExpress. I am waiting from XenSource to find
out if they can help but probably too much champagne on new year's day
is delaying response. If possible I would rather stick with FCX as I had
it running without too much problem for 18 months but the updates have
become problematic since September.
I have read many, many people talking about this over the last 4 months
but not a single solution to the problem, has anyone a detailed howto to
get it up and running? I tried the faq about initrd, I am no iniscript
expert and I failed, I tried with binaries, I tried compiling from
source with many variant, with and without modules (or builtin) etc.
Alway the same result. All log simply confirms the problem below.
Also, can it be run under a FC6 dom0 on a Opteron if the domU is i686?
Finally, the doc on setting up a VMX is rather sparse, can someone point
to a more detail howto?

writegrub crash during xen install
by Ask Bjørn Hansen
Hi,
I am starting my install like this,
virt-install -n cpansearch -r 768 -f /dev/vgmirror/xm-cpansearch -b
xenbr1 -p -l http://mirrors.la.sol/fedora/install/x86_64/ --vnc -d
-x ks=http://mirrors.la.sol/fedora/ks/xen.cfg -d
My kickstart file is at http://tmp.askask.com/2007/01/xen.cfg
After all the RPM are installed, I get the following crash. This is
with the most recent fedora 6 updates on the Dom0 system. I've tried
doing the install both with a "clean FC6" tree and with a tree that
had the updates merged in.
Traceback (most recent call first):
File "/usr/lib/booty/bootloaderInfo.py", line 711, in writeGrub

Any ideas?
