[Xen-users] xen on SMP

[Sweekar Pinto <sweekarpinto@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm on ther verge of giving up...
Am I doing something wrong here? here are the steps I followed to 
get xen running on an HP Proliant DL360 4 CPU  system. :

*Native kernel  2.6.11.x  (FC4)

* Downloaded xen-unstable sources and compiled an SMP enabled kernel
(cause the default xen kernels that came with FC4 just gave up before
boot....phooofff...it just reboots the system after splashing the grub
screen!)
* dom0 booted fine 
* xend start gave the following error but was up and running :

   # xend start

error connecting to xcs(ctrl)! (2)

 Exception in thread ChannelFactory:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/threading

.py", line 442, in __bootstrap
    self.run()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/threading.py", line 422, in run
    self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/xen/xend/server/channel.py", line 185, in main
    port = self.notifier.read()
IOError: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor
.....
 again... it's not predictable.. sometimes it gives this error sometimes it doesnt!

* tried booting a VBD domain which worked fine on a UP box but failed on the SMP box
  my config file looks like:
 
  kernel ="/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-xenU"
  memory = 256
  name = "rhas"
  nics = 1
  disk = ['file:/root/rhas.img,sda1,w']
  root = "/dev/sda1"
  extra = "ro selinux=0 3"

* Also tried the yum base install which is mentioned in the fedora Quickstart guide... but the domain wont start.

* all my attempts in creating any domain results in the following error:
 
  # xm create -c rhas
     Using config file "/etc/xen/rhas".
     Error: Error creating domain: (14, 'Bad address')

* I have tried creating suse,FC and RHAS domains but all resulted in the same error.

...... Is there something that I'm doing wrong here?
