OK. What happens if you put the same vif=['bridge=...'] in OSOL installation
profile. Are you unable to get IP for install in this case ?

Dear Boris,
My CentOS 4.7 32-bit PV guest is getting the dynamic IP address
assignment from the dnsmasq dhcp server I have setup and configured on Xen
Dom 0 OpenSUSE 11.1 32-bit host correctly.
So I think the issue is OpenSolaris specific.

OpenSUSE 11.1 32-bit Dom 0 Xen host sending DHCPOFFER but the OpenSolaris
virtual machine is not setting the offered dynamic IP address to it's
virtual NIC.

To switch OSOL DomU run with static IP:-
pfexec svcadm disable network/physical:nwam

pfexec svcadm enable
network/physical:default
pfexec ifconfig xnf0 down
pfexec ifconfig xnf0 192.168.1.102 netmask

pfexec ifconfig xnf0 up
pfexec route add default 192.168.1.102
which i can/do @ installer time to use static IP
assignements. i just
can't seem to get them to 'stick' or 'be happy'
after reboot and xen,

Use the same commands with the installed system.
To make the settings permanent you also need

I don't have any experience with
OpenSuse 11.1 . I hardly remind they tried to reproduce RH's technology.
Most probably they did it in SLES 11 (not sure). Check for
libvirtd&dnsmasq daemons up and running.
But if your OpenSuse 11.1 Dom0 is on
"dhcp" bridge itself , then no problems. Just vif=['bridge=eth0'].

Dear
Boris,
This means I have to install a DHCP
server or dnsmasq in my Dom 0, listening on my Dom 0's IP address, so that
it can assign dynamic IP addresses to the DomU.
By the way, are there any
paravirtualized device drivers that I can install in DomU to improve the
performance of the virtual machine?
Thank you.

Login as jack/jack to text

Wait until :-
$ pfexec ifconfig -a
will show up your IPv4 address
$ mkdir .vnc
$ cp .Xclients .vnc/xstartup
$ vncserver
Connect via vncviewer IP-DomU:1
from another terminal session to OSOL DomU. In case OSOL installer will fail
to obtain IP via DHCPDISCOVER,
let me know. It might happen
and requires Solaris Kernel Model Debugger

Teo, it is up to you how to manage, if you just having fun.
Otherwise,
downloading 64-bit OpenSuse 11.1 ISO image
takes just 12-14 hr
even at slow ADSL speed ( like 100 KB/sec).
Install takes 30
minutes and brings you to the trusted results, instead
of wasting a lot of
time in case of business environment assignment.
Pasi has 32-bit
experience due to hardware limitations, which you don't
have.
Boris.

My colleague installed OpenSUSE 11.1 32-bit on the Core 2 Duo
machine in our labs. Please see my earlier replies in the same topic.
I was too lazy to reformat and install 64-bit OpenSUSE, so I
proceeded with Xen Dom 0 pvops kernel compilation on 32-bit Linux host.
I admit I am getting a lot of headache. Haha.

Once again, i don't see any reason to to run 32-bit OS on
Core2Duo,
unless you
like Xen head ache. Core development (PVOPS) is obviously
running in
64-bit environment.

That is
not supposed to happen. I would suggest clean OS (without any built in xen
presence) install , followed by Xen 3.4.1+pvops kernel clean install.

I am very puzzled. In investigating the cause
of the sudden success of the CentOS 4.7 32-bit PV guest being able to run, I
have uninstalled virt-manager and all of its dependencies:
Then I proceeded to "make uninstall" in
xen-3.4-testing source tree, which also removed my self compiled Xen Dom 0
pvops enabled kernel, initrd and kernel modules.
After doing the above, I re-installed back the
Xen hypervisor, libraries and tools, and also the kernel, initrd, and
modules. Then I proceeded to reboot my machine. After rebooting, my CentOS
4.7 32-bit PV guest is still able to start and run!
I am still very puzzled! What causes the PV
guest initially cannot start? Then what subsequently causes the PV guest to
suddenly be able to start and run???
Anyway my CentOS 4.7 guest domain is now
running. I shall now proceed to virtualize OpenSolaris 2009.06.

It's very strange. Suddenly my CentOS 4.7
32-bit PV guest is able to start!!! Previously it refuses to start at all.
I think I must have changed something in Dom 0
when I attempted "yast --install virt-manager". This action might have
solved the problem. When I tried to install virt-manager, it also tries to
install xen-libs-3.3.1 and xen-tools-3.3.1 as dependencies. However, I
started off my Xen Dom 0 pvops kernel install with Xen 3.4.1 rc8 branch.
I need to investigate more why suddenly my
CentOS 4.7 32-bit PV guest is able to start.

I realized that Fedora 10 32-bit anaconda
installer does not install PAE kernel after mounting the guest disk image
file. I mounted the guest disk image file using losetup and kpartx which
adds device nodes to /dev/mapper. I examined the /boot directory after
mounting the guest disk image file and found no PAE vmlinuz and initrd.
Still using the mounted Fedora 10 32-bit guest
disk image file, I changed root to the guest disk filesystems and attempted
to install the PAE kernel. Then I modified menu.lst to boot the PAE kernel.
After modifying the grub configuration of the guest domain, I un-mounted the
guest filesystem.
I proceeded to boot the F10 32-bit guest, since
I changed to PAE kernel. It is able to boot now (since the PAE kernel is
xen-aware) but then it complains cannot mount /dev/root. Probably something
to do with the PAE initrd file.

Fedora 10 installer has a bug, as a default it installs non-PAE kernel
for
xen domU. You need to use a kickstart script (like this) to fix it:
http://pasik.reaktio.net/fedora/f10-xen-domu-ks.cfg
The important lines being:
-kernel
kernel-PAE
(Fedora 10 and Fedora 11 default kernels are compiled with pv_ops Xen
domU
support enabled, so there's no need for separate kernel-xen with these
distros).
Fedora 11 doesn't have that installer bug, so it installs right
out-of-the-box as Xen domU.
What's the error you get when you start the guest after installation?
Please paste the "xm log" as text.
I don't have any problems with CentOS 5.3 dom0.
