Hi all


I'm working with Xen, openSuse 11.1 and OpenTC for my thesis project.

I recently update the xen-tools-vgallium-dom0, kernel-xen, kernel-xen-base and kernel-xen-extra rpms to the newest versions:
- kernel 2.6.27.90-135.1.i586
- xen-tools 3.3.1_18494_03-4.2-i586
and something wrong appened in my openSuse 11.1 distro.

1)
If I start compositor with the script:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash

modprobe gntdev
EGL_DRIVER=librawgal /*the-xen3d-path*/xen3d --trusted-domain $@
--------------------------------------------------------------------

and than start my domU (based on xen kernel 2.6.27.90-135.1.i586, as dom0) with the command:
- xm create domU

xm prompts this error:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Using config file "/etc/xen/vm/domU".
Xend has probably crashed!  Invalid or missing HTTP status code.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

The command:
- xm list
shows this lines:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Name                         ID   Mem VCPUs      State   Time(s)
Domain-0                      0   992     2     r-----     50.4
Domain-Unnamed                1  1024     1     --p---      0.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------

So, I can only do this:
- xm destroy Domain-Unnamed

2)
If I don't start compositor and I only start domU in a console with the following commands:
- xm create domU
- xm console domU
domU starts normally, but, after the login, when I try to shutdown the domain (always in console, no X and no compositor) with the command:
- shutdown -h now
the domain crashes at the end of the shutdown procedure.

This is what I see on the console:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
INIT: Switching to runlevel: 0
INIT: Sending processes the TERM signal
INIT: Sending processes the KILL signal
/etc/init.d/rc: line 88: 0: command not found

System halted.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

After this messages, the console don't turn back to the command prompt, but it stops working. Any following "xm" command (xm list, xm destroy domU...) in a different console fails (unable to connect to xend, it ask me if xend is still running).

But xend IS still running! In the processes list, there are 2 xend processes, one of wich that runs at 50% of cpu (???) even if there are no more running domains.
If I try to stop xend with the command:
- /etc/init.d/xend stop
it stops working, but when I try to restart it with:
- /etc/init.d/xend start
the 2 processes restart and the second one restarts to work at 50% of cpu.

Before installing the new rpm's, I had no problems (with xen kernel 2.6.27.90-105 and the previous version of xen-tools-vgallium-dom0).

What I can do to get my openSuse and domU's working like before?

And, if it shouldn't be possible to repair it...

Unfortunately, I can't roll back to the previous rpm's, because they are no more in the OpenTC repository. It's possible to find those old rpm's? I have to continue working on my thesis project and I can't wait a new rpm's release.


Thank you very much in advance

Best regards
