Subject: [Xen-users] ERROR: Toolstack not specifed and nothing detected, 
bailing out!

I have just installed Xen by following 
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_Beginners_Guide

All in all pretty good, however it mentions using the xl toolset but when I 
first installed only the xm toolset would work. This was great for creating 
linux based domains but it gave me an error about hvm when I tried creating a 
Windows domain.

I then apt-get install xen-tools-common and edited /etc/default/xen to specify 
the xl toolset, rebooted and tried again.  This time when doing xl info the 
system returned:

WARING:  Can't find toolstack xl, fallback to default!
ERROR:  A different toolstack (xm) have been selected!

So I did apt-get remove xen-tools-common and rebooted and set /etc/default/xen 
to defaults.  Now when I try xl or xm info I get: "ERROR:  Toolstack not 
specifed and nothing detected, bailing out!"

And I'm stuck, I've googled the error but can't find anything and am not sure 
what to check now.

Thank you.


        
Ok now I did apt-get remove xen-tools then reinstalled, rebooted and now xm 
works ok, when I try create a windows host I'm back to the following:

root@xen-1:~# xm create /etc/xen/windows8.cfg
Using config file "/etc/xen/windows8.cfg".
Error: Errors were found at line 2 while processing /etc/xen/windows8.cfg:
           builder='hvm'

I'm sure this is because the guide I was following was using the xl toolstack 
but it didn't say how they enabled it..
