Xen project Mailing List

Hello,

I've downloaded the xen 4.0.1 version as it is explained here:

http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Xen4.0

So, I've made a clone from repository, with the following command:

hg clone -r RELEASE-4.0.1 http://xenbits.xen.org/xen-4.0-testing.hg

And finally I've built xen, tools and stubdom.

I was looking for a paravirtualized domain, and so I follow the instructions from here:

http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenParavirtOps

So, I am able to boot dom0 successfully, but apparently xend its not starting.

A few things that I have noticed:

1) lsmod does not list evtchn and neither gntdev, and they are not compiled as a Module. I have tried also to insert them with lsmod, and of course, I dont have them.

2) The nodes appear in both /proc/misc and /dev/xen, and the numbers are correct

% cat /proc/misc

52 freefall

224 tpm0

53 network_throughput

54 network_latency

55 cpu_dma_latency

56 device-mapper

1 psaux

200 tun

57 pktcdvd

228 hpet

58 blktap-control

59 xen/gntdev

60 xen/evtchn

229 fuse

61 ecryptfs

231 snapshot

227 mcelog

62 rfkill

63 vga_arbiter

% ll /dev/xen

total 0

crw-rw---- 1 root root 10, 60 2010-10-27 17:32 evtchn

crw-rw---- 1 root root 10, 59 2010-10-27 17:32 gntdev

3) I am really running dom)

% cat /proc/xen/capabilities

control_d

4) /var/log/xen shows the following errors:

Does anyone have any Idea of how can I start xend correctly ?

Thank you!
