[Xen-users] new box, won't boot domU

[Andrew Thompson <andrewkt@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just set up a new box that has been giving me trouble since I first cloned 
the xen repo to it.

I started off with "error: can't find a register in class 'BREG' while 
reloading 'asm'" errors that I fixed by changing my gcc profile(gentoo) to 
nopie. That introduced me to a '__guard' error that I fixed by changing my gcc 
profile to nopiesse. I will note for posterity that this was a new Gentoo 
install onto a old celeron with gcc 3.4.5-r1.

Now I've booted dom0 and have a file backed image that I'm trying to boot. I'm 
typing this from mutt running on a domU of a box sitting 4 foot away from the 
offending system, so I thought I'd be able to set it up without issue. 
(Suprise!)

My conversation looks like this:

backlash xen # xend start
backlash xen # xm create gdom1
Using config file "gdom1".
Error: Received invalid response from Xend, twice.
backlash xen # xend stop
backlash xen #

I truncated /var/log/xend.log beforehand and am including the entire dump of 
xend.log for the transcript above.

I think the below are the relevant bits:

Afterwards(before the xend stop), I'm left with a paused Domain-8 in xm list.

Can I enable more debugging?

What should I attempt next?

Is it likely that this is related to the compiler profile I had to choose to 
get "make world" to complete(nopiesse)?

Any help appreciated.
