Well, if you exported the ISO as the root block device for Xen, it wouldn't be booted in the same way the initrd for the CD would boot, so you'd need a slightly tweaked initrd, which you'd have to boot through the normal Xen mechanisms. I suppose there's booting off of the CD via a VMX guest, but it's a tad early for that sort of thing.

You're not going to generally[1] be able to use existing live CDs with xen -- you have to have a special paravirtualized kernel. Also, there isn't really support for CDs inside of paravirtualized guests.

For Fedora Core 4 I used the following: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraXenQuickstart then I mounted the fc4 disck in loopback and installed the guest 2.6.15 kernels in it (but there is a lot of dependancies mismatches, the only goal was to have /lib/modules/ subtrees for xennet.ko network module). Then I hand edited a /etc/xen/fc4 configuration file using the path to those modules. I don't think there is really a clean way which will work in many cases unfortunately, with paravirtualization you end up mixing things from the Dom0 OS and from the DomU one.

Try mounting your guest system and create those two directories if they are missing: mkdir x mount -o loop yourguest.img x (not sure if the new xenguest.py creates a partition or a disk. I am not sure how to mount partitions within a disk image) ls x and if they do not exist: mkdir x/dev x/proc umount x And try again.

You can in the /etc/xen/*config files pick either ide or scsi emulation for xen. Is there a preference for scsi? I've always used ide so far, since in general that gives less problems and dependancies (eg on initrd features). Is one faster/better/more reliable/ then the other?

In general, I'd suggest doing neither and instead using the LANANA approved /dev/xvd devices. If you pretend with either IDE or SCSI, the xen block driver does heinous things with stealing block majors and I wouldn't expect this support to stay as some of the Xen drivers start to move upstream Jeremy Jeremy From chitlesh at fedoraproject.org Tue Feb 14 07:20:00 2006 From: chitlesh at fedoraproject.org (Chitlesh GOORAH) Date: Tue, 14 Feb 2006 08:20:00 +0100 Subject: [Fedora-xen] Re: fsck.ext3 -a /dev/hda1 In-Reply-To: References: <13dbfe4f0602110819v64ddb61eg19b70c1cbfa8040e@mail.gmail.com> <13dbfe4f0602130851lb6d4642q13086ca41368fb2d@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <13dbfe4f0602132320v550f4d8fu24424396c5704a46@mail.gmail.com> On 2/13/06, Paul Wouters wrote: > Try mounting your guest system and create those two directories if they > are missing: > mkdir x > mount -o loop yourguest.img x > (not sure if the new xenguest.py creates a partition or a disk.

I haven't seen any such problems: indeed, a full guest install is a pretty fs-intensive activity but that seems to work fine for me. I last tried with the 1.1948 kernels, though --- about to try with 1.1955 to see how that goes. Do you have any more details on what went wrong?

Out of interest, what happens if you boot without SMP, either by disabling HT in the bios or giving the hypervisor the "nosmp" boot option? There may be a bad HT scheduling performance problem here; it would be useful to eliminate that possibility. My own boxes are either pure UP or genuine not-just-HT SMP, which may be why I don't see this. --Stephen From steve at silug.org Mon Feb 20 18:59:29 2006 From: steve at silug.org (Steven Pritchard) Date: Mon, 20 Feb 2006 12:59:29 -0600 Subject: [Fedora-xen] kernel-xen-guest-2.6.15-1.1955_FC5 seems to eat filesystems In-Reply-To: <1140449258.3357.9.camel@orbit.scot.redhat.com> References: <20060219023016.GA16965@osiris.silug.org> <1140449258.3357.9.camel@orbit.scot.redhat.com> Message-ID: <20060220185929.GA31670@osiris.silug.org> On Mon, Feb 20, 2006 at 10:27:38AM -0500, Stephen C.

I suspect that this may simply be an artifact of the domU ABI changing prior to the final release of Xen-3.0.0. The upstream XenSource guest OS ABI was still in flux prior to 3.0.0, so there's really no guarantee that can be made to support running older kernels.

I was running 2.6.15-1.1955_FC5hypervisor on the host, and 2.6.15-1.1955_FC5guest for the guest. BTW, it would be helpful if the Requires for the Xen guest kernels were trimmed a bit so the newer kernels could be installed on older (FC4, for example) guests. Rather than install the kernel-xen-guest rpm, I just used --with=xennet when I created the initrd so the guest would have networking. I can't think of any other modules not already loaded in the initrd that would be absolutely required for the guest. Steve -- Steven Pritchard - K&S Pritchard Enterprises, Inc.

The requires: in there were added for a reason. It's not hard to do an rpm --nodeps to override, but we should be keeping the requires: by default because there _are_ subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) dependencies there. --Stephen From justin.conover at gmail.com Mon Feb 20 23:00:29 2006 From: justin.conover at gmail.com (Justin Conover) Date: Mon, 20 Feb 2006 17:00:29 -0600 Subject: [Fedora-xen] Re: can't boot xen kernel In-Reply-To: <1140452048.3357.18.camel@orbit.scot.redhat.com> References: <1140452048.3357.18.camel@orbit.scot.redhat.com> Message-ID: On 2/20/06, Stephen C.

Message-ID: Apologies if this is a very basic question, but I'm just trying xen out. I have used the install script from xensource to download and install xen-3 for FC4. I have booted into dom0 using the kernel vmlinuz-2.6.12.6-xen3_7.1_fc4, and that's all fine. When I go to create a guest, and edit the config file, I don't appear to have a xenU kernel to point to in the config file. From what I understood, there should be a separate unpriviledged kernel to use for the guests, so where is it? If I try and do a "yum install kernel-xenU" it installs a xenU kernel for xen-2 (or so xen-debug.log tells me if I try and use it in the config file for creating a new domain). I may just be getting myself confused, so any help appreciated. Cheers Darren -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The instructions are available at: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraXenQuickstartFC5 There have been a lot of changes from the early FC4 and testing in the old version is likely to be probematic and not significant as a trial.

Will this work? The modules are in the actual package, but since you're booting with a kernel outside the filesystem, it doesn't work so well. IMHO, the whole model of booting a kernel from outside of the guest filesystem is pretty broken as there's a fair bit of userspace which ends up depending pretty closely on the kernel these days.

Which is why I build a client kernel package that has everything but the kernel image itself in it (i.e. the modules). This gets installed inside the guest environment, satisfying the RPM dependency for other packages. Of course, this requires a little more work for the Gentoo clients, but the Red Hat and SUSE clients are perfectly happy. Would it make sense to ship such a package for the guests? -- Lamont R.

I'll have to find out. There were problems with that for us. I'm not sure if it was due to the mix of distros (Gentoo, RHEL3/4, CentOS3/4, SLES9, SUSE 9.x/10.0, FC3/4) or if there were other things, too. At first, we didn't bother with any kernel modules and such within the guests, but we found that we did need to have some things (like Netfilter) available for the guests. We're trying to maintain only one guest kernel for all distros and one set of modules for the guests, which is what we have now. -- Lamont R. Peterson Senior Instructor Guru Labs, L.C.

I haven't every been given a good reason why... PCI-Address-Space just below 4 GByte needs around 0,25 up to round about 0,75 MByte normally (depending on PCI/PCIe/AGP devices you have installed). But most newer Mailboards support "Memory-Hoisting" (needs Rev. E Athons iirc). Enable it in the BIOS and use a 64-Bit-Operating-System to access the complete 4**GByte of memory. -- Thorsten Leemhuis From sct at redhat.com Wed Feb 22 21:47:50 2006 From: sct at redhat.com (Stephen C.

It looks like the bond0 interface bond0 is renamed to pbond0 by xen [*] and the enslaving does not work anymore then. It works if I log on the terminal and ifenslave the devices to pbond0 instead of bond0 after the boot process has finished. But I want this to be handled automatically during reboots, so I tried assigning the bonding slaves to pbond0 as a master in the ifcfg-eth{0,1} scripts, but that doesn't work. What is causing the bond0 rename and should this renaming be considered by initscript? Is this a user error or should I file this against bugzilla? xen or initscripts? Thanks!

E.g. will this logic be encapsulated in such a way that an ifdown/ifup on bond0 outside the boot sequence would do the right thing w/o initscripts knowing anything more about xen, or would initscripts still require some special xen handling? I haven't looked to deeply into xen, so I may be missing the obvious here. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I have a problem to start 2.6.15-1.1977_FC5hypervisor kernel (domain0). When I select this option in a grub I can see that xen hypervisor is loading but after short time my laptop is restarted. I cannot tell you last (error) message because pause or CTRL+S does not work and laptop is restarted before drives are mounted so I have no logs. Do you have any idea where is the problem and how can I pause booting so I can see last (error) message? Other details: I have Dell latitude D600 with Pentium M. I have upgraded FC4 to FC5 test3 using DVD iso. I have updated all packages after that using yum update. Kernel 2.6.15-1.1977_FC5 works fine on my laptop. I was also able to start domain0 in FC4 using kernel from Rik van Riel's web page (2.6.12-1.1454_FC4 ). Some other problems I found: When I upgraded from FC4 to FC5 test3 I did not see any option to install XEN from DVD (I have selected upgrade not new install in anaconda). Also entries for FC4 kernel were deleted from my grub.conf and original grub.conf was not saved. When I have installed kernel 1977_FC5 or 1977_FC5hypervisor my grub.conf was not updated, so I had to update it manually (I have used yum install). Part of my grub.conf configuration (manually added) - do you see any problem here? title Fedora Core ( 2.6.15-1.1977_FC5) root (hd0,6) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.1977_FC5 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.15-1.1977_FC5.img title Fedora Core (2.6.15-1.1977_FC5hypervisor ) root (hd0,6) kernel /boot/xen.gz-2.6.15-1.1977_FC5 module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.1977_FC5hypervisor ro root=/dev/VolGroup01/LogVol00 init 3 module /boot/initrd-2.6.15-1.1977_FC5hypervisor.img List of files in /boot: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 63677 Feb 15 20:57 config-2.6.15-1.1955_FC5 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 63666 Feb 23 20:05 config-2.6.15-1.1977_FC5 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 58988 Feb 23 20:41 config-2.6.15-1.1977_FC5hypervisor drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Feb 26 15:55 grub -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 914868 Feb 25 05:01 initrd-2.6.15-1.1955_FC5.img -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 918988 Feb 26 02:05 initrd-2.6.15-1.1977_FC5hypervisor.img -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 916284 Feb 25 23:56 initrd-2.6.15-1.1977_FC5.img -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 94600 Feb 8 15:39 memtest86+-1.65 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 812204 Feb 15 20:57 System.map-2.6.15-1.1955_FC5 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 812648 Feb 23 20:05 System.map-2.6.15-1.1977_FC5 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 812906 Feb 23 20:41 System.map-2.6.15-1.1977_FC5hypervisor -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1515418 Feb 15 20:57 vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.1955_FC5 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1515968 Feb 23 20:05 vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.1977_FC5 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1529433 Feb 23 20:41 vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.1977_FC5hypervisor -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 257152 Feb 23 19:51 xen.gz-2.6.15-1.1977_FC5 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 710104 Feb 23 21:16 xen-syms-2.6.15-1.1977_FC5 Thank you for any advice in advance.

I have a problem to start 2.6.15-1.1977_FC5hypervisor kernel (domain0). When I select this option in a grub I can see that xen hypervisor is loading but after short time my laptop is restarted. I cannot tell you last (error) message because pause or CTRL+S does not work and laptop is restarted before drives are mounted so I have no logs. Do you have any idea where is the problem and how can I pause booting so I can see last (error) message? Other details: I have Dell latitude D600 with Pentium M. I have upgraded FC4 to FC5 test3 using DVD iso. I have updated all packages after that using yum update. Kernel 2.6.15-1.1977_FC5 works fine on my laptop. I was also able to start domain0 in FC4 using kernel from Rik van Riel's web page ( 2.6.12-1.1454_FC4). Some other problems I found: When I upgraded from FC4 to FC5 test3 I did not see any option to install XEN from DVD (I have selected upgrade not new install in anaconda). Also entries for FC4 kernel were deleted from my grub.conf and original grub.conf was not saved. When I have installed kernel 1977_FC5 or 1977_FC5hypervisor my grub.conf was not updated, so I had to update it manually (I have used yum install).
