Hi list,

I have seen this topic written about on a number of sites but none of
the suggested fixed have worked for me.

I have a FC5 box with 1GB RAM and the latest xen-3.0.3-1.fc5 package as
well as kernel-xen0 and kernel-xenU-2.6.18-1.2239.fc5 installed.

I followed the install instructions at
http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraXenQuickstart to install Fedora
Core 4 as a xen guest and have booted into the xen0 kernel. My guest has
256 MB RAM.

Here's the config:

kernel="/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2239.fc5xenU"
memory = 256
name = "rawhide"
vif = [ '', 'bridge=xenbr0' ]
disk = ['file:/root/XEN/fedora.img,sda1,w']
root = "/dev/sda1"
extra = "ro selinux=0 3"


When I type "xm create -c rawhide" in a KDE Konsole window, my guest
starts to boot but does not finish. I have tried adding "echo 'hwcap 0
nosegneg' > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc6-xen.conf" as one web site suggested.
No luck.

I tried adding vnc=1 and vnclisten="127.0.0.1" to my xen guest config
file but no luck.

I am logged in as root when I run xm. Here is the screen printout when I
boot my VM:

[root at localhost ~]# xm create -c rawhide
Using config file "/etc/xen/rawhide".
