[Xen-users] Debian 6 PV on openSUSE 11.4 Xen

[Wolfgang Rosenauer <wolfgang.rosenauer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm trying to install Debian Squeeze as DomU on an openSUSE 11.4 Xen
host but fail all the time.
I've also searched Google and Debian as well as openSUSE resources but
haven't found any hint about my issue :-(

First I've tried to install it as a paravirtualized guest but when the
Debian installer tries to detect the disks I get this:

[  173.233735] Process xenwatch (pid: 12, threadinfo ffff88003fe04000,

[  178.140021] XENBUS: Waiting for devices to initialise:
295s...290s...285s...280s...275s...

If I wait until the timeout expires the installer goes on but the
partitioner only recognizes two of my three configured disks and
therefore I cannot install as desired.

Now today I finally tried to install it as HVM but I get exactly the
same stacktrace and issue.

Any hints what to do or what the culprit could be?

Xen on openSUSE is version 4.0.2, Linux kernel 2.6.37.6. I have several
other openSUSE PV guests running on that host already w/o issues.

The Debian initrd and kernel are from
http://cdn.debian.net/debian/dists/squeeze/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/xen/

Any feedback is appreciated if only that I know where to open a
bugreport about it.


Thanks,
 Wolfgang
