Hello again.

I'm currently testing xen 3.2 package released with mandriva 2008.1. However, I can't reuse my existing xen 3.1 HVM or PVM guest, nor install new HVM guests...

First, I can't launch any of my ISCSI-stored linux HVM guests. xm create return successfully, xm list show a guest without any state, and qemu-dm dies immediatly. Of course, vnc server doesn't run neither.

I can't find anything suspicious in the logs: no error message in xend.log, and qemu-dm only has: xs_read(): vncpasswd get error. /vm/2a8782f0-638b-41d0-a3bf-1cb2b133735b/vncpasswd.
Could not parse VNC address

Setting an explicit VNC password remove the first message, not the second.

Second, I tried installing a new HVM guest through netboot, but the symptoms are the same as previously: qemu-dm fdying immediatly.

Third, I can launch an existing file-stored PVM guest, it boots, but halt before init is launched: EXT2-fs warning (device hda1): ext2_fill_super: mounting ext3 filesystem as ext2
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 172k freed

It feels like something is broken in the package, but I can't find what :/
