Subject: Re: [Xen-users] Fully virtualized guest boot problem


I got the similar problem with FC6 and Xen 3.0.3.Finally i had to change the disto which worked quite well for me. So try your best to work out, if it doesnt then i would suggest you to move on with OpenSuSE10.2 which is really
stable in getting windows or linux based guest OS on top of Xen

However, I doubt that the distribution is really the problem here, it's
most likely the fact that FC and OpenSuSE are using slightly different
versions of Xen, and thus works differently.
I'm pretty sure the actual base-distribution is (pretty much) irrelevant
- there are some obscure cases, but in general it's not an issue.
I don't see anything wrong in the configuration or the log messages. Are
you running Intel or AMD processor?


Hi Mats,
I am running on an AMD64 processor. Could that be the reason for this problem ? I haven't tried it on an Intel machine.
So, similar to Anant, do you also suggest to try OpenSuse instead FC6 ?

Thanks,
Abhishek.

Hi,

I am new to Xen and I am trying to start a fully
virtualized machine on
an AMD64 base system running FC6. I have an FC2 image for
booting the
guests. I get the following problem when the VM starts booting. The status of the VM as seen from xm list is 'running' forever.
