Re: [Xen-users] Xen 3.0 (release) Debian packages?
The problems with the "backend device not found" or "hotplug script not
working" was completely my mistake and had nothing to do with the packages.
Xen 2 used "xen-br0" als default bridge device. Xen 3 usses "xenbr0" and I had
still some old configs with xen-br0.
It would be great if the /etc/xen/scripts/* would give better debugging
output. If the output was something like: "xen-br0 not found" then I would
have found the mistake a lot faster.
the packages are available at:
http://packages.debianbase.de/<distro>/i386/xen3/ and
http://packages.debianbase.de/<distro>/i386/xen3-pae/
and are working quite well...
I still would like to get some feedback, if someone is willing to test them,
here a short howto:
1) simply add:
"deb http://packages.debianbase.de/<distro>/i386/xen3 ./"
OR
"deb http://packages.debianbase.de/<distro>/i386/xen3-pae ./"
to your /etc/apt/sources.list file. Repleace <distro> with either sid, sarge
or etch.
then installing xen3 is very easy: "apt-get update && apt-get install xen".
only the linux-xen-patch package doesn't work (at the moment, I am working on
it), so compiling a kernel is not "the debian way" for now.
add: "deb-src http://packages.debianbase.de/sources/xen3 ./"
to /etc/apt/sources.list and type: "apt-get update && apt-get source xen".
Then changedir in the new xen3.0.0 directory and type:
"make linux-2.6-xen-config CONFIGMODE=menuconfig"
and then either: "make linux-2.6-xen-install" or use make-kpkg in the
linux-source dir for building a kernel package.
Feedback is very much appeciated.
