Xen project Mailing List

thanks Jacek/Casey/Wei.

I'm all set. Here's what i did.

I reinstalled Ubuntu. Unfortunately, because the LVM volume for xen was set to use up the whole disk, i have to install it to a usb stick. Anyhow, it works. (May need to reinstall XEN or find a less brutal way to reclaim some of that disk currently used up by Xen)

Ubuntu detected the USB adapter during install but once it finished, i couldn't log into dom0 or identifiy it. Eventually, i changed the boot settings in the BIOS, rebooted and voila, on restart i get an ubuntu boot menu and after selecting the first entry, i get a command line asking for dom0 username etc.

Now i'm trying to get devstack installed, so i need to setup a domU according to the docs. It's downloading all the required items so i thought i'd update the list. 

Once this is all setup, i think i need a diagram to make sure i don't forget it all when i try to do it again.

Thanks again

regards

Dayo

Subject: Re: [Xen-users] Wireless adapters on XEN

He seems to running xcp 1.6 so he has kernel version 2.6.32. Also xcp 1.6 iso based on centos 5.7 so If you want to get you get your wireless working you neet to look at centos howtos and make sure kernel supports usb device. Is there big difference between xcp on distro v xcp ios

Hello Dayo,

Welcome to the mailing list.

Wei already covered this, but Xen/XCP rely on a control OS for you to interact, and anything you setup with the core hardware is initially handled by this Domain0.

My first step would be running `uname -a` or similar to verify what OS is your Domain0. Then you can easily narrow down your search to the OS version without XCP.

Next I would check the kernel version from the Ubuntu you had and the new Domain0 you installed. That could affect hardware compatibility and is worth investigating.

Someone else might have a more definitive answer, and hopefully it'll come down to simply running an extra command after connecting your USB device.

As for a reference to search the mailing list, you may want to check out their lists page, the link to marksmail is what you want:

Best of luck,

Xen is just a hypervisor. It exposes peripheral devices to Dom0. You
need Dom0 to take control of the devices.

Google works quite well.

Ultimately there is always a Dom0 OS working. It looks like that Ubuntu
at least has the drivers you need. So why not stick with Ubuntu and
start from there.
