[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [Xen-devel] Install of Xen 4.8 on Fedora 25 makes the box unbootable.. which is due to /var/run/xen being created, instead of /run/xen
Hey, Credit goes to Boris (CC-ed) for figuring out how to fix this. I was doing: ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-systemd make -j8 cd dist;./install.sh;) reboot and to my surprise it would hang on Starting Terminate Plymouth Boot Screen"... with a bunch of 'FAILED'. What I hadn't realized is that Fedora has removed the /var/run and is now using /run. But the dist/install has the /var/run directory (dist/install/var/run/) in it - and that seems to make everything blow up as it erase the original symlink: [konrad@x230 /]$ ls -al /var/run lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 6 Oct 5 02:08 /var/run -> ../run with its own directory which has nothing to do with /run - and which only has 'xen' and 'xenstored' in it (albeit at bootup things do seem to be created there - but they are not in sync with things in /run). The "Fix" is to boot with 'init=/bin/bash' on Linux command line and do: mount / -o remount,rw rm -rf /var/run mkdir /run/xen mkdir /run/xenstored ln -sf /run /var/run And then everything works again. A bit of light builds shows that RELEASE-4.7.0 does not have an dist/install/var/run but RELEASE-4.8.0 and higher does. And I am not exactly sure which commit does this and how to go around to auto-detect this? _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
