Xen project Mailing List

I am attempting to move debian Xen 4.0 installation to Alpine 2.7.5
hardware : HP DL165-G5 / 2x Opteron 22xxx / 32GB Ram

uname -a: Linux jshvmhost1 3.10.33-0-grsec #1-Alpine SMP Fri Mar 7 14:24:31 UTC 2014 x86_64 Linux

I have installed the system and go Xen up and running.
Modified the PV xm files to use xl and got them up and running.
Modified the first HVM xm file (WinXP Pro) but it is not running. (Black VNC screen )
So I attempted a new installation just to see if something was up and found that it boots to the CD the I get a message:

"Setup is inspecting your computer's hardware configuration"

And it hangs at that point. CPU utilization is at 100%

When using a ubuntu-12.04-lts ISO the system hangs after the Language selection shows up.

-----------------------------------

As a side note I attempted to "cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep svm" and it failed to find anything.
However "xl dmesg" does..?
I assume it is a "kernel thing" since the debian OS before it displayed it. What I don't know is if it is important :)
I just wanted to air my concerns just in case..

-----------------------------------

Tried using local disk and ISO rather than ATAoE but nothing changed.

----------------------------------

Tried disabling grsec and got a change in the qemu-dm log.

From the one line..

qemu: terminating on signal 1 from pid 11465

To the following...

cat qemu-dm-irrigctrlview.log

Unfortunately I cannot tell if anything above is a real show stopper.

Here is the latest configuration I have tried.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
