Thanks a lot. I've used the .deb installer files and after I've changed tap:aio
to file: my, domU (lucid variant) comes up. Great help guys. I love
xen-community.
Now I've some more challenging questions. I'll explore but throwing out there
in the "xen-cloud", if somebody already has faced...
a. Does the vif2=[ 'pdev=peth1,bridge=eth1' ] stuff works in 4.0.1-rc3
(NetChannel 2)
b. If the host machine (quad core) has a quad-port NIC, is it possible (for
performance reason) to run multiple privileged domain and let each of them see
1 of the 4 Ethernet ports.
c. In a traditional, PV guests, how to enable VMDq support. Is modprobe igb.ko
VMDQ=8 enough? How it relates to MSI-X? Is there a special way to build dom0
(config perspective)?
Does are some tricky modifications to the 'bridge-magic'?
-Thanks
Deb

I have limited experience with packaging above.
With xen-4.0_4.0.1rc3-0ubuntu1.diff.gz xend should start without clean up.

This may or may not address your problem but it worked for Ubuntu systems with
a similar requirement, build once and distribute.
Apply the attached patch (not mine) to xen 4.0.1.rc3.pre and then build using:
export KERNELS="" ; export PYTHON_PREFIX_ARG="" ; make dist
This generates a dist dir that puts everything in the right place for Ubuntu
systems. I know the sysconfig/default changes apply to debian as well, the ones
I'm not sure about are the python lib location move.
This patch works for 4.0.0 and 4.0.1.rc3.pre, but not 4.1.

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"

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
