Hi all,
first thanks a lot for everybody who is reading my posts and thanks a
lot for the people who try to help me with my problem.
I know it's hard to work on beta-hardware with beta-technology, with a
beta-OS, beta-drivers and a software that just is a x.0.0-release - but
I never give up :-))))
>Start the domain with vnc=1 and vncviewer=0. Then execute "vncviewer

>domain.
I tried this already before, but I only get "connection refused".
OK, where I am right now:
SuSE Linux 10.1 Beta2 x86-64 with Gnome as desktop on a Dual-Xeon 3,2GHz
with dualcore/HT/VT, 4GB RAM with Kernel 2.6.16_rc1_git3-4.
I installed SuSE Linux completely new, I updated XEN to 3.0.1 and my
Linux-guests are still working.
But I even don't get running a very simple freedos as vmx-xenU, with
'qemu -hda /data/xen/images/freedos/freedos.dsk -boot c' it is running
with Qemu :-((((
I tried all the following on an identical machine with the same results,
I also tried it SuSE Linux 10.1 Beta2 i386 without success.
Now I will have a look at SuSE Linux 10.0, but with this the
onboard-NICs are not working, so I have to plug in PCI-card.
BTW: SuSE Linux or SLES is a must!
I always use the "xmexample.vmx" as base for my vmx-xenU-guests, there I
only adjust the following:
memory = 128
name = "freedos.vmx"
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0' ] # (some times to give a MAC-adr)
disk = [ 'file:/data/xen/images/freedos/freedos.dsk,ioemu:hda,w' ]
boot='c'
sdl=0
vnc=1
vncviewer=1
Now I start the guest with:
# xm create freedos.vmx
And I get:
Using config file "freedos.vmx".
VNC= 1
vncviewer -listen: Listening on port 11001 (flash port 10901)
vncviewer -listen: Command line errors are not reported until a
connection comes in.
Started domain freedos.vmx
But no VNC-viewer is started!
Trying to connect the server from OS/2, Linux (I also tried it from the
XEN 3.0 Live CD) and even Windows results in a 'connection refused'
using <xen0-host-ip>:<vm-id> (10.65.0.34:1) or :<5500+vmid>
(10.65.0.34:5501) and in an error 'ReadFromRFBServer: rd::EndOfStrem' if
I connect at 10.65.0.34:11001 and on the xen0-host I get also an error:
vncviewer -listen: invalid command line argument: -log
TightVNC viewer version 1.2.9
Usage: vncviewer [<OPTIONS>] [<HOST>][:<DISPLAY#>]
...
..
'xm list' and 'xm top' telling me the following:
# xm list
Name ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State Time(s)
Domain-0 0 3873 4 r----- 171.7
freedos.vmx 1 128 1 -b---- 0.0
# xm top

2 domains: 1 running, 1 blocked, 0 paused, 0 crashed, 0 dying, 0 shutdown

freedos.vmx --b--- 0 0.0 131356 3.1 131356
3.11 0 0 0 0
No I shutdown the xenU.
As suggested I change in the config:
vncviewer=0
and start freedos again, 'netstat -nat' doesn't tell me anything new,
but anyway I try it, this time with vmid 2 but with the same result as
before :-(
Next try is changing the config again:
sdl=1
vnc=0
vncviewer=0
Now finaly I get a local window open, it shows some BIOS-info, s.th.
about booting from harddisk and finally the boot-menu, if I press 1 or 2
the boot-menu disappears and I get only a cursor in the left upper
corner (F8) lets me say twice 'Y' the it also stops, and on pressing 3 I
get a black, then a blank screen and the window closes :-(
But the xenU-domain is still running:
Name ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State Time(s)
Domain-0 0 3873 4 r----- 499.3
freedos.vmx 7 128 1 -b---- 1.2
So I shut it down.
I also created images with VirtualPC/2 (Warp Server and WinXP) and
copied them with dd into an image-file, I can start both images with
Qemu, well both aren't working really because they are trapping in Qemu,
but actually they should do something if started as vmx-domU - but there
is no activity at all, no window opens (sdl=1), 'xm list' and 'xm top'
say that the OS is running (with status 'b') but CPU is at 0 all the
time - configurations are the same than the ones for freedos (exept for
memory=512)!
Today I also tried the XEN 3.0-Demo-CD on the machine and it's running.
Does this version also supports Intel/VT as VMX-guests? I could not find
the vmxloader in the fs, so probably it isn't integrated?
Thanks very much for your help,

Chau y hasta luego,
Thorolf
