[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [Xen-users] Solution to 'asms file is needed"
This is a follow-up to my old request "asms" problem when using virt-manager to
install Winxp. Prerequisite: your installation CD/DVD is healthy. I didn't try
ISO image.
Quick steps:
1. create a domain in virt-manager
2. If "asms file is needed" comes out, shut down the domain.
3. run command line "virsh dumpxml domainname > xmlfile.xml"
domainname is the string input in the virt manager installation dialog
xmlfile.xml can be any preferred name
4. edit xmlfile.xml by adding the following section in the disk part; then save
<disk type='block' device='cdrom'>
<driver name='phy' />
<source dev='/dev/cdrom' />
<target dev='hdc' />
<readonly />
</disk>
5. run command line "virsh define xmlfile.xml"
6. re-run the guest domain.
Note: virsh is a script. run "virsh help" for more helps
The detailed solution is in the following link. Other problems such as mouse
point can also be found in the following link or in xen3.0 user manual appendix.

Hi folks
Linux 2.6.23-rc3 with xen enabled fails on Xen 3.1:

Any suggestions? It seems that some parts of the kernel wants to mess
with CR4. Is it the MCE support?

Hi!
I have 2 xen enabled kernels. One is the official amd64 2.6.18-xen kernel from
xensource itself. When i boot with this one, i can see xenbr0, several vif's,
and several veth's. ( I already configured xend-config.sxp correctly. )
When i boot with gutsy's experimental amd64 2.6.22-xen kernel, it boots fine,
but i cannot seem to make the system show the vif's and veth's. I _know_ this
is an experimental kernel and OS, but it would be nice to flush out this bug
before it hits the streets :) The only thing "ip a" shows is the normal eth's
and xenbr0. Starting a vm doesn't work because it cannot find vif0.0.
I was just wondering if any of you guys would have an idea what difference in
these 2 kernels would make vif and peth on the ubuntu kernel fail.. A driver
that's not enabled? a bug?
Any of you had the same experience before?
Thanks a lot!
Kind regards,
Bart Verwilst

Well, as far as I know, you will just use bridged mode and have many xenbr
's around. You can then assign each to one DomU. Would this solve your
problem?

So today I was playing around with xen for the first time. I'm
running ubuntu feisty and the xen packages that come with it under
vmware 5. Everything seems to work great but the single DomU I have
runs extremely slow. Disk IO seems ok but anything that touches the
cpu just drags. Compiling takes 4-5 times as long.
Any idea what the problem might be? Not that I expected it to work
at all, but thought I would post anyways since I got this far.

Maybe you can set something up with socat, connecting the serial-port
from dom0 and domU via network.
