Re: [Xen-users] xm create - Xend has probably crashed! Invalid or missin

To make things more clearer,
------------------------------------------
Hi,

We downloaded  xen-3.2 unstable.
hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-unstable.hg <http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-unstable.hg>

We made changes to Config.mk <http://Config.mk> to enable XSM with sHype
XSM_ENABLE ?= y
FLASK_ENABLE ?= n
ACM_SECURITY ?= y

We compiled with:

make world
make install
and changed grub entries appropriately.

We booted dom0 and then tried to create a domU:


[root@xxxx xxxx]# xm create /etc/xen/cfg
Using config file "/etc/xen/cfg".
Xend has probably crashed!  Invalid or missing HTTP status code.

We tried the same by using an earlier stable version of xen and the cfg worked. Hence, the cfg file is correct.

/etc/xen/cfg:
kernel = '/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-2943.fc7xen'
memory = 64

I should never expect an fc6 of f7 to work nicely with 64MB of memory. Can u please set the "maxmem = <something greater than 64>" in the guest configuration file and test after that?

--Sadique

name = "domu"
vif = [ '' ]
disk = ['file:/srv/xen/fedora.fc6.img,sda1,w']
root = '/dev/sda1'
extra = "ro selinux=0 3"

Is this a known problem with xen-3.2 unstable? Or are we missing some step (some configuration)?

Thanks.

        Is your xend running?  That would be the first place I would look.
        When I do xend stop and run xm list, it says xend is not running.
          When I do xend start and run xm list, it gives the output
        mentioned above.
          However xend start|stop|status|restart does not print
        anything on the console.

          When I do ps -A | grep python, it shows few processes (which
        are xend).

        Hi,

        I have compiled xen-unstable (using hg clone
        http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-unstable.hg).

        I have successfully booted into the dom0 kernel.

        output of xm list:
Name ID Mem VCPUs State Time(s) Domain-0 0 932 1 r----- 591.2

        But whenever I xm create, I get:

        # xm create /etc/xen/domu1
        Using config file "/etc/xen/domu1".
        Xend has probably crashed!  Invalid or missing HTTP status code.

        My file is:

        /etc/xen/domu1:

        kernel = '/boot/vmlinuz- 2.6.18.8-xenU'
        vif = [ '' ]
        disk = ['file:/srv/xen/fedora.fc6.img,sda1,w']
        root = '/dev/sda1 ro'

        What could be wrong?

        Thanks.
