Hey,
I am new to both Xen and development in general and am running into some issues when trying to compile and install from source.
I have already been able to get Xen installed and working using apt-get, but since I want to be able to edit the source code, this will not
Be an option for install.
The first thing I noticed that was quite a bit different from installing from the package manager, was the difference in entries shown in grub.
When I installed Xen using apt-get, all I had was one entry for Xen in grub, which I would use this command to have it be default.
“dpkg-divert –divert /etc/grub.d/08_linux_xen –rename /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen”
Now when installing from source, there are several entries, where only a couple of them will actually work.
After Xen is installed, I typically run the “xl info” command to ensure its running. However, when I try to run it after being compiled from source, I
Get this error:
“libxl: error: libxl.c:87: libxl_ctx_alloc: Is Xenstore daemon running?
Failed to stat /var/run/xenstored.pid
No such file or directory
Cannot init xl content”
I checked and that directory does not exist, but was able to start Xen manually by running xencommons in /etc/init.d
The problem with manually starting it though, is that it causes my terminal to quit echoing my input.
What do I need to do to resolve this error, and get Xen to automatically start?
Thanks for any help!
Josh
