Thread-topic: Xen 4.0.1 rc3 pre install problem
Guys,
           I've successfully ran dom0/domU (both Debian) in my local laptop 
using 2.6.32.15 dom0 with xen-4.0.1-rc3-pre. Great. Now I want to install it 
into couple of test-machines without compiling from source. So I did following..

           a. make dist-xen
           b. make dist-tools PYTHON_PREFIX_ARG="--install-layout=deb"
           c. make dist-stubdom 

This should pre-pare my dist/ directory with binaries. With the help of 
top-level /.install.sh I should be able to install it any other machine (same 
ARCH=x86_64/amd64). I've tar-zipped, copied and inflated. The target machine is 
a CentOS 64-bit machine whereas the build machine (my laptop) is a 
Debian/Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit one. After installation, my xend started, 
bridge-magic happened, `brctl -show` is fine, xm info / xm list is fine, ls 
/dev/xen is fine (evtchn,gntdev) too. But when I'm trying
to run a domU (using a working domU-xmexample-config) it has some problem with 
tap driver config and complains 
 
      "ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack"

ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack

in xmexample config,

kernel = "/vm/tmp/vmlinuz-2.6.32.15-domU-deb"
ramdisk = "/vm/tmp/initrd.img-2.6.32.15-domU-deb"
memory = 256
name = "debdomU"
vif = [ 'mac=6A:60:41:4A:60:41,ip=172.16.30.201,bridge=eth1' ]
disk = [ "tap:aio:/vm/tmp/core.img,xvda1,w" , 
"tap:aio:/vm/tmp/swap.img,xvda2,w" ]
dhcp="dhcp"
netmask="255.255.255.0"
gateway="172.16.30.10"
hostname= "dbose-domU"
root="/dev/xvda1 ro"
extra = "3 console=hvc0"

vmlinuz/initrd/core.img/swap.img are made on Ubuntu and just copied over.

The same config worked earlier on a ubuntu-dom0/ubuntu-domU setup. Is this 
something to do with CentOS-dom0/Ubuntu-domU? Is copying binaries (pyc) built 
in Ubuntu wrong? Then how even xend/xendomains got started? If xend started 
with same python tool chain, what's wrong with domU booting up? 

Please help me guys. Should I re-compile?

-Thanks
Deb
