After some delays, incl. hurricane
Sandy, hardware issues (problem with a PSU), and a
broken filling;
I finally built the hardware for the virtualization rig I sought
advice for here in September.
The software on the other hand is giving me
fits. After getting the Dom0
and Xen up and running, I fubared my install of 4.3-unstable
rev. 29163. Instead of trying to figure out what I broke, I've decided to do a full
re-install. This time
however, I want to start with something a little more
stable. I could go with rev. 25777 as Casey DeLorme recommended in his tutorial. But with the number of revisions
since, there are patches that would
probably be beneficial.
Perhaps, I could start with 25824
(or 25825) as it is the
latest release candidate? Unless, that is, there are other
revisions that Xen list members believe offer critical improvements?
I'm also looking for a template xl.cfg file for a 'working' PVHVM
Linux (preferably Debian) DomU. Before I borked Xen, I had only
just gotten a Debian based DomU created without xl throwing errors.
Unfortunately, it remained in a blocked state and I wasn't sure what
was going on or even what to expect. In a nut shell, the cfg file I
cobbled together came from various disparate sources on the Web. I
had/have no idea what was suppose to happen once the VM was/is
created. Did I initially need to connect to the VM via VNC/SPICE in
order to complete the OS install? Was I suppose to boot into a
paravirtualized graphics adapter à la VirtualBox? Or did I need to
passthrough the integrated GPU inorder to actually see anything on
my systems monitor at all? I just didn't know. How, exactly, is a
PVHVM Linux DomU actually supposed to behave?
FYI, I haven't gotten the chance to try setting up a Windows HVM
yet. I wanted to get my primary OS up and running first.
