Xen project Mailing List

Dear list,

In my attempt to solve this problem, I went ahead and compile a fresh download of Xen 4.5 from GitHub and install it on my MacBook hardware running a Vanilla Ubuntu 14.10 as sole OS. Results are the same, Iâm unbable to load the kernel on top of Xen. My effort in trying to tweak Grub2 were all unsuccessful so I am doubting this is the problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks

}

Thanks for looking into this (I added the extra echo lines in my effort to figure out what was going on hereâ)

I suspect your menu entry for "Ubuntu GNU/Linux (kernel 3.16.0-25-generic [or -0-23-]) , with Xen hypervisorâ is incorrect. Did you run grub2-mkconfig? Verify the menu entry in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg .

Subject: [Xen-users] Unable to reboot after install of Xen on fresh ubuntu running off recycled macbook hardware

I'm pretty newbie with Xen and I appologize if this is something that is easy and dumb...

I just install a fresh vanilla ubuntu 14.10 server, followed by a distribution upgrade. Ubuntu is installed on a recycled macbook air late 2010 [MacBook Air "Core 2 Duo" 2.13 13" (Late â10) 2.13 GHz Core 2 Duo (SL9600) to be precise] on a 25 Gb root partition with the remaining of the 250Gb SSD hard drive for LVM. Grub2 is the boot loader.

I then installed Xen 4.4 from the distro with sudo apt-get install xex-hypervisor-4.4-amd64

Upon reboot of the Ubuntu GNU/Linux (kernel 3.16.0-25-generic [or -0-23-]) , with Xen hypervisor in Grub (v 2.02 ~ beta2-15), the boot process get stuck after echoing "Loading initial ramdiskâ. I also tried Ubuntu 14.04.01 LTS server with the two different kernels with no avail.

I suspect the problem is with the Grub configs but Iâm not sure where to go from there to start figuring out what the problem is.

Any help would be really appreciate.

Thanks
