Re: [Xen-users] xen Installation through YUM

Hi kishore kumar, Boris, Pasi, and ...,

I also would like very much to install Xen in F12-x86_64. I don't think that is easy do it, but I would like to, and may I sugest someone to make a "How to", for making a complete installation via YUM, please. I have a free machine(F12-x86_64) to do this in my lab.

Ps: for me is a dream to have Xen updated via "sudo yum update", like I actually do now in an other machine with Virtualbox, on my network.

Thanks,

Attached is the file which gives my Hardware configuration details.

I did cat /proc/cpuinfo command to get this.

Let me know if you need any other info.

Hi Pasi

The Xen boot messages I am getting is on the vga, not on the serial port. I get other BIOS information on the serial port and then transfer the Xen boot messages to vga.

Let me know how to capture the boot messages from vga.

Thanks

BK.

I disabled DRM and rebuilt the kernel. Still the same black screen. :(

I did connect the serial port as well.

Might be DRM issue as i wrote . Try disable DRM first.
But i suspect , serial console would be required.

Hi Boris,

I successfully compiled and installed linux 2.6.32.9.

I modified the grub.conf to boot with xen.

After reboot, the system shows some xen boot messages and goes to black screen. Nothing comes on the screen.

What could be wrong here?

Thanks

Hi All,

To follow up this, after Installing Xen Hypervisor 3.4.2 successfully, I downloaded Linux 2.6.18 with Xen 3.4.x support source tarball, updated for Xen 3.4.2 from xen.org website and compiled and installed.

Later I changed my grub.conf file to boot from Xen.

#######################

root (hd0,0)

kernel /xen-3.4.2.gz

module /vmlinuz-2.6.18 ro root=dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us rhgb quiet

module /initrd-2.6.18.8.img

#######################

After I reboot, I get the following messages.

################

Xenopf Intel processor model 44 or P6 family is not supported.

Initialization failed.

LOADING DOMAIN 0

Cannot load bzImage v2.04. v2.08 is required.

Panic on CPU 0

Could not set up DOM 0 Guest OS

Reboot in 5 sec

###############
What is wrong happening here?

THanks

BK

Hi Boris,

I was following your steps and got stuck in the middle. Here is what I did...

Step 1 was sucessfull and Xen Hypervisor 3.4.2 is installed successfully.

Now while doing the step 2

STEP 2:

Install Libvirt

# yum install libvirt libvirt-python python-virtinst \

virt-manager virt-viewer (THIS WENT THROUGH SUCCESSFULLY)

PVOPS kernel 2.6.31.6 may be installed via Jeremy Fitzhardinge
Git Repository to support Xen 3.4.2 Dom0.

# git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git linux-2.6-xen            (THIS WENT THROUGH SUCCESSFULLY)

# cd linux-2.6-xen

# make menuconfig ( setup Xen Dom0 support) (HOW TO SET UP THIS ?)
# make -j(x)(number_of_kernels) (I DID MAKE -J, WHAT SHOULD I GIVE HERE IN PLACE OF x. ??

BUT GAVE ME ERRORS. I DONT KNOW WHAT WRONG I AM DOING HERE. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME OUT IN THIS?)

I HAVE ATTACHED THE LOG FILE FOR YOUR REFERENCE. I AM USING FEDORA 12 MACHINE.

Thanks

Now I am able to do yum install kernel-xen xen.

I can see the xen Images sitting in /boot directory. Its xen-3.4.2.gz and xen.gz.

Is this what to be expected ?

I changed the grub.conf file to boot with Xen as below

title Fedora (2.6.31.9-174.fc12.x86_64)

       root(hd0,0)

       kernel /xen-3.4.2.gz



My question is I dont see vmlinuz-2.6-xen0 in /boot directory.

Do I need to add this line module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xen0 ??? But I dont see this file .When we do yum to insall xen, will it also install vmlinuz-2.6-xen0 also ??

Any idea what went wrong here??

thanks

BK
