[kernel-xen] Issue Booting DomU's from certain hardware.

[Dimitar Kolev]

Can we have the 4.1.3 RPMs somehow ?

 

 

Thanks,

D.Kolev

Steven, 

 

I loaded up the older version of Xen RPM's that I had a backup of. Seems its all OK with 4.1.3. 4.2 seems to have issues with Ubuntu and Fedora images using pygrub. Not sure why. But I hope this helps you narrow it down.

Steven, here is what happens with the create. You will see it does not get very far. Just to the grub menu and them crashes.

Oh, further to this, have you tried using 'xm create <configfile>'?

 

I have *never* used the 'xm start' command.

I've had a couple of reports of people with issues using Debian and

Fedora for DomU's having issues - however I haven't had any technical

details to try and track this down.

 

I have pointed everyone who has contacted me to this list to see if we

can nut it out.

 

On the Xen 4.2.0 machine, have a look at the logs in /var/log/xen and

see if you can parse anything out of that. It almost seems like an

incompatibility with the guest kernel to the new Xen hypervisor -

however this shouldn't be the case.

 

In starting this, it may also be worthwhile to post your DomU config

file as well so I can even start to think about reproducing things. This

also goes for others who might have this same issue.
