RE: [Xen-users] Installing and running XEN

[Nathan Eisenberg <nathan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Tincho,

Firstly, try CTL+[ after xm console locks you in.  That's the oldschool 
'terminal disconnect' command, and it should take you from the DomU terminal 
back to your Dom0 shell.

'b' basically means 'idle'.  If it changes to 'r', things are actively being 
executed.

Now, the problem that you're experiencing is that the DomU is not booting to a 
console OR is failing to boot due to lack of udev and TTYs.  If you have 
openssh-server setup to autoinstall with xen-create-image, you should be able 
to SSH around this.  If that doesn't work, recreate the domU, but add this to 
your xen-create-image command...

--role udev

Then add this to the domU config file, destroy the domU, and recreate it.

extra = 'xencons=tty'

Let me know if this helps!

Subject: [Xen-users] Installing and running XEN

Hi all! I'm new on the list.
I have read many HowTos about xen installations and I have an error
that I cant find solution.

(S.O: Debian Lenny)

First, this is what I did:

Hypervisor
# aptitude install xen-hypervisor-i386 libc6-xen xen-utils xen-tools
bridge-utils

Kernel
# aptitude install xen-linux-system-2.6.26-2-xen-686
-----
# nano /etc/modules
loop max_loop=128

# nano /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp
Comment:(network-script network-dummy)

Uncomment:
(network-script network-bridge)
(vif-script vif-bridge)
(dom0-min-mem 196)
(dom0-cpus 0)

Reboot and select XEN kernel

# nano /etc/xen-tools/xen-tools.conf

#
#
dir = /vserver
#
#
debootstrap = 1
#
#
size = 2Gb # Disk image size.
memory = 256Mb # Memory size
swap = 512Mb # Swap size
fs = ext3 # use the EXT3 filesystem for the disk image.
dist = lenny # Default distribution to install.
image = sparse # Specify sparse vs. full disk images.
#
#
gateway = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
netmask = 255.255.255.240
#
#
kernel = /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-xen-686
initrd = /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-xen-686
#
#
mirror = http://ftp.debian.at/debian/

# xen-create-image --hostname test02 --ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

# xm create test02.cfg

so, everything is ok so far. so, I run:

# xm list and I see

Name                                        ID   Mem VCPUs      State   Time(s)
Domain-0                                     0   207     1     r-----    195.7
test02                                       5    64     1     -b----      6.8

WHAT is that B? why is blocked? how do I fix that?

and go on:

# xm console test02

and the PC stops to response... I have to reboot...

why is that? thanks in advance.
